session 2 Flashcards
what is the epithelium from nasal cavity to largest bronchioles
pseudostratified ciliated epithelium, with goblet cells
epithelium in terminal bronchioles
simple columnar epithelium with cilia and club cells but no goblet cells
epithelium in respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts
simple cuboidal epithelium with sparse cilia and club cells
epithelium in alveloi
simple squamous and type 1 cells
structure of trachea inside to out
lumen, mucous membrane, pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, submucosa, hyaline cartilage, adventitia
what is secreted from epithelium and mucosal glands
mucins, water, serum proteins, lysozyme, antiproteases, immunoglobulins
difference in histology between secondary bronchi and primary
secondary- cartilage are irregular crescent plates/islands
primary- cartilage arranged as rings
compare structure of bronchus and bronchoile
bronchus has small islands of cartilage and glands in submucosa. bronchoiles have no cartilage or glands
role of club cells
secrete surfactant lipoprotien which prevents walls sticking together during expiration
what 3 cells are in the alveolus and what are their roles
type 2 alveolar cell- surfactant
type 1 alveolar- permits gas exchange
macrophages- phagocytose microbes and dust
what organisms commonly cause pneumonia
streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, staphylococcus aureus, legionella pneumophilia, mycoplasma pneumoniae
