Specific (immune-mediated)
Describe the Non-Specific (non immune-mediated) defense mechanism of the respiratory system.

The conductive system is mostly lined by….
The conductive system is composed of
Nasal Cavity
Pharynx
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchi
The respiratory portion of the nasal cavity is lined by
ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells.
What is indicated by the arrow?
tubulo-alveolar glands
The lamina propria contains tubulo-alveolar glands, mainly serous, with lesser numbers of mucous and mixed glands.

The lamina propria
The submucosa supports the lamina propria (shown within rectangle)
The oflactory epithelium contains
oflactory sensory cells
What is the bone supported cavity within the skull that is divided by nasal cartiliginous septum into two halves, left and right.
Nasal Cavity
Each half of the nasal cavity has three regions. What are they?
- Vestibular Region
- Respiratory Region
- Olfactory Region
What is this region of the nasal cavity?
Vestibular Region
What is the initial, external part of the nasal cavity with cutaneous mucous membrane, hairs, and skin glands.
The Vestibular Region.
The vestibular region is lined with….
stratified squamous keratinized epithelium
What region of the Nasal Cavity is this?
Respiratory Region
A. What is the largest part of the nasal cavity?
B. What is it lined with?
A. The Respiratory Region
B. Pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium with goblet cells.
(this combination of cells is known as the Mucociliary apparatus, responsible for clearance.)
What is the Mucociliary Apparatus responsible for?
Clearance
What are the projections from the lateral wall that narrow the lumen of the nasal cavity and increase the area of contact of inhaled air with respiratory mucous membrane, thus regulating the quality and quantity of inhaled air.
Conchae Turbinates
