Respiratory Lecture Flashcards
Types of epithelia in respiratory system (6)
Stratified squamous PSCC with goblet cells PSCC sensory olfactory region PSCC of respiratory tree Simple cuboidal of alveolus Simple squamous of alveolus
What are the 3 regions the nasal cavity consists of
Sensory
- Olfactory
- Vomeronasal organ
Non-sensory
-Respiratory
What’s the primary function of the respiratory epithelium
Warm, clean, and humidify inspired incoming air
Olfactory system CNS or ANS
CNS sense of smell
What kind of neurons are in olfactory system
True neuron (exposed to outside world and vulnerable)
Bipolar neuron (true neuron, has axon and dendrite)
What types of receptors are in olfactory system
Odorant receptors on cilia
T/F Olfactory system is capable of neuron replacement
T
This is normal and happens when injured
Happens via basal cell mitosis (post natal neurogenesis) and development of new acon and dendrite.
When doing neurological testing for CN I use…
Food
NOT smelling salts
Where does olfactory neuron axon project
->Probelm?
Directly to CNS olfactory bulb
->Potential portal of infection to CNS
What are the 2 sensory systems present in canine?
Main olfactory system-in nasal cavoty
Vomeronasal system-opens into oral cavity
Where does the VNO system and main olfactory system connect
Connect with axon projections to olfactory bulb
What is the VNO system important for?
Mating and repro fxns
–>VNO Flehmen response
Sensory epithelium consists of (5)
Basal cells
Supporting cells
Bipolar olfactory sensory neurons
Olfactory axons in lamina propria
Bowman’s glands
Hyposmia and anosmia are a result from
Foreign bodies that damage nasal cavity mucosa…. can cause secondary infection
What are defensins?
- What fxns do they have
- Example
Small peptides produced by WBC and epithelial cells
Antimicrobial and immunomodulatory fxns
CBD 103 and pigmentation and feeding behavior
What is fxn of olfactory epithelium
Detect odorant materials
What are fxn of PSSC, Goblet cells, basal cells, supporting cells, olfactory neurons, axon bundles, Bowman glands
Protection
->Mucociliary blanket and defensins
What are some clinical implications of nasal cavity
Nasal mass will impact olfaction and respiration
What are the 3 layers of the trachea
Mucosa
Submcosa
Adventtia
What is the classification of trachea epithelium
PSCC with goblet cells
What are some physical structures of trachea
Hyaline cartilage ring
Trachealis muscle
Give breakdown of trachea
Bifurcates into 2 primary bronchi
Secondary bronchi (enters lung lobes)
Tertiary bronchi
Terminal bronchioles
T/F Trachea epithelium PSCC, gets “higher” as you work caudally down the conducting airway system
F
PSCC gets lower
As airway decreases in size what trends occur
Decrease in cartilage
Glands and epithelial height
Increase in smooth muscle
