Q

Distinguish what components of bronchial tree have cartilage and smooth muscle

A

Primary bronchi
-Cartilage plates
-Smooth muscle
(Primary component that maintains airway patency)

Secondary bronchi

  • Cartilage plates
  • Smooth muscle

Tertiary bronchi

  • Cartilage plates
  • Smooth muscle

Terminal bronchioles

  • NO CARTILAGE
  • Smooth muscle
26
Q

What cells are in the respiratory epithelium

A
Ciliated cells
Goblet cells
Basal cells
Brush cells
DNES cells
27
Q

What is the beginning of the respiratory portion of airway

A

Respiratory bronchioles

28
Q

Respiratory bronchioles

  • Epithelium
  • Goblet ccells
  • Alveoli
  • Glands
A

Simple epithelium

Few goblet cells

Alveoli present in airway wall

No glands

29
Q

In respiratory bronchioles, which extends farther, ciliated cells or secretory components?

A

Ciliated cells

30
Q

What cells protect bronchiolar airway

A

Clara cells

-Columnar shape secretory cells

31
Q

Is there gas exchange in terminal bronchiole?

A

Nope

-Dead air space

32
Q

Is there gas exchange in respiratory bronchiole?

A

Yes

33
Q

T/F Bronchial tree is conducting portion

A

T

34
Q

What includes the conducting

portion?

A

Bronchial tree

  • L and R primary bronchi
  • Intrapulmonary bronchi
  • Bronchioles
  • Terminal bronchioles
35
Q

What’s the difference btw intrapulmonary bronchi and primary bronchi

A

Primary bronchi=cartilage C rings

Intrapulmonary bronchi= Irregular hyaline cartilage

  • Smooth muscle are in two distinct layers and spiral in opposite directions.
  • Elastic fibers, radiate from adventitia to connect with elastic fibers arising from other parts of the bronchial tree (similar to terminal bronchioles)
36
Q

What are the ranges of bronchiole epithelium

A

Ciliate simple columnar with occasional goblet cells in larger bronchioles to simple cuboidal (many with cilia) with occasional Clara cells and no goblet cells in smaller bronchioles

37
Q

Termnal bronchioles are lined by…

-Lamina propria consists of…

A

Clara cells and cuboidal cells

Fibroelastic CT and 1-2 layers of smooth muscle cells
Elastic fibers similar to intrapulmonary bronchi

38
Q

What cells produces surfactant

A

Type II cells…secrete surfactant on alveolar surface to reduce surface tension and keeps alveoli from inflating.

39
Q

The respiratory portion of the respiratory system is composed of

A

Respiratory bronchioles
Alveolar ducts
Alveolar sacs
Alveoli

40
Q

If alveoli are present, what occurs?

A

GAS EXCHANGE

So bronchioles=gas exchange
Terminal bronchioles=no gas exchange

41
Q

Explain alveolar duct, alveolar sac, and atrium

A

Alveolar ducts do not have walls of their own and end as a blind outpouching made of alveoli. THIS IS ALVEOLAR SAC.

Alevolar sac open into common space and called ATRIUM

42
Q

What are alveoli made of

A

Air sacs made of type I and type II (larger) pneumocytes

43
Q

What is the region btw adjacent alveoli and what capillary bed is associated with it

A

Interalveolar septum

Continuous capillaries

44
Q

What is the thinnest region of interalveolar septum where gas exchange can occur?
-What happens here

A

Blood-gas barrier.
-Type I pneumocytes in intimate contact with endothelial lining of capillary and basal laminae. Helps O2 (alveolar lumen) exchange with CO2 (blood)

45
Q

Classify lung parenchyma

A

Simple squamous cuboidal

46
Q

What cells can mitotically divide?

A

Type II pneumocytes and can differentiate into type I cels and re-establish air-blood barrier.

47
Q

What makes up the majority of SA of the alveolus alveolar lining

A

Type I cells

48
Q

If Type I cells are injured…

A

Type II cells can undergo mitosis and replace Type I cells and re-establish alveolar lining.

49
Q

What is recruited to clear dead type I cells

-What are they called

A

Pulmonary MQ

-Heart failure cells because RBCs and hemosiderin content are called “gitter cells”
