Q

what does the lamina propria in the olfactory mucosa have

A
  • bowman’s glands
  • many veins
  • unmyelinated nerves
31
Q

what connects the pharynx to the trachea

A

the larynx

32
Q

what is the skeleton of the larynx made of?

A

hyaline cartilages and elastic cartilages

33
Q

what has striated muscles in the wall and also has connective tissues with glands

A

larynx

34
Q

what provides the means for sounds of different frequencies to be produced?

A

vocal cords

35
Q

which vocal cords have skeletal muscle (vocalis), vocal ligament and a covering of stratified squamous nonkeratinzed epithelium

A

true vocal cords

36
Q

what is formed by a band of elastic fibers

A

vocal ligament

37
Q

why are the true vocal cords covered by stratified sqaumous nonkeratinized epithelium

A

because there is frequent movement in these vocal cords

38
Q

when does the epithelium change to respiratory epitherlium/

A

at the base of the epiglottis after the vocal cords

39
Q

what lines air passages down through trachea and primary bronchi

A

respiratory epithelium

40
Q

what are also known as false vocal cord

A

vestibular fold

41
Q

what lies superior to the true vocal cord

A

vestibular vocal cord

42
Q

what is the vestibular fold

A

it is a fold of loose connective tissue that has glands and lymphoid aggregateions

43
Q

what is the false vocal cord covered with

A

resp. epithelium

44
Q

what supports the walls of the trachea and extrapulmonary bronchi?

A

hylaine cartilage

45
Q

what is the hyaline cartilage like in the trachea

A

c shaped and open posteriorly

46
Q

what runs in the open posterior location of the hyaline cartilage in the trachea

A

trachealis muscle

47
Q

what does the trachialis do

A

helps to prevent over distension during inhilation

48
Q

what is superior and inferior to the hylain catrilage c shaped rings

A

fibroelastic CT, helps to elongate the trachea durring inhalation

49
Q

what are the 4 cell types in respiratory epithelium

A
  • ciliated cells
  • mucous cells(small mucous cell and mature goblet cells)
  • enteroendocrine cells ( APUD)
50
Q

in the ciliated cell of the resp. epith. the cilia do what

A

protect the lungs from being damaged if something in inhaled

specifically it traps the material and the goblet cells make mucous and send the partical to the mouth

51
Q

what has long, activley motile extensions that beat towards the pharynx

A

ciliated cells ( thier cilia)

52
Q

ciliated cells contain microvilli as well, why?

A

so that fluid can be absorbed and not clog the airway

53
Q

what are the two types of mucous cells in resp. epith?

A
  • small mucous granule cells “ brush cell”

- mature goblet cells

54
Q

why are small mucous cells sometimes called brush cells

A

because of the many microvili they have

55
Q

what activley divide and may be able to replace desquamated cells, might be able to become a goblet cell

A

brush cells

56
Q

wat has small numbers of mucous granules

A

brush cells

57
Q

what is filled with large mucous droplets that are secreted to trap inhaled particles

A

goblet cells

58
Q

what cells rest on the basal lamina and DO NOT extend to the lumen? these are the cells that make the epithelium pseudostratifed

A

short basal cells STEM

59
Q

what resp. epith cells can divide

A

short basal cells

60
Q

what cells have many small granules in their basal cytoplas

A

APUD

enteroendocrine cells

61
Q

what cells participate in paracrine regualtion on other cells

A

APUD cells

62
Q

what is it called when a cell ( APUD) regulates a cell next to it

A

pararcrine regulation

63
Q

various enteroendocrine cells synthesize what

A

64
Q

what is the thick layer that underlies the epithelium

A

basement membrane
