Question 20

Label

Answer 20

Probs trachea

E= epithelium (pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium)

CT= Connective tissue in lamina propria

G= seromucous glands in submucosa

P= perichondrium

C= hyaline cartilage.

Question 21

what is this?

Answer 21

probs trachea.

mucosa with epithelium and lamina propria; submucosa with sero-mucus glands andfibrous tissue of perichondrium

Fibrous tissue at the end of the slide, part of submucosa. its the perichondrium. cartilage not shown.

Question 22

the trachea divides to form 2 ___ ___. these divide to form ___ ___> What is the dispersion?

these bronchi divide to form ___ __, which divide to __ __.

Answer 22

2 primary bronchi. they form secondary bronchi (3 on right, 2 on left)

Secondary divide to form tertiary bronchi which divide to smaller bronchi

Question 23

difference in cartilage structure between primary and secondary bronchii.

Answer 23

• Primary bronchi have rings of cartilage in submucosa
• Secondary and tertiary bronchi have plates of cartilage (visible) in submucosa

Question 24

do tertiary and smaller bronchii have cartilage?

Answer 24

yes, but just very small plates.

Question 25

Comment on goblet cell amount in smaller bronchi. What kind of epithelium do they have? What tissues make up the lamina propria beyond the secondary bronchii?

Answer 25

smaller bronchi have:

• fewer goblet cells
• lamina propria made of smooth muscle rather than loose areolar connective tissue like it is higher up.

epithelium is simple columnar epithlium: usually ciliated.

Question 26

What is this?

Answer 26

must be either tertiary or smaller bronchi. It has PLATES of cartilage, not a ring, so it cannot be primary or secondary. Cartilage is too big to be smaller bronchus. There is still a substantial amount of aartilage on this slide. There is also smooth muscle in LAMINA PROPRIA prior to cartilage. . Means that there is a tertirary bronchu, because secondary bronchus has no smooth muscle. The white dots on this cross section is alveoli, not fat.

Question 27

Describe these photos

Answer 27

Bronchial wall. A) A higher power view of tertiary bronchus shows the epithelium (E) of mainly pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells with a few goblet cells. The lamina propria (LP) contains the distinct layer of smooth muscle (SM). The submucosa is the site of the supporting cartilage (C) and the adventitia includes blood vessels (V) and nerves (N). Lung tissue (LT) directly surrounds the adventitia of bronchi.

(b): This micrograph shows smaller bronchus, in which the epithelium is primarily of columnar cells with cilia (arrows), with fewer goblet cells. The lamina propria has both smooth muscle (SM) and small serous glands (G) near cartilage (C).

Question 28

3 types of bronchioles

Answer 28

1) bronchioles
2) terminal bronchioles
3) respiratory bronchioles.

Question 29

2 cell types of the mucosa in bronchioles

Answer 29

1) low columnar/cuboidal epithelium with ciliated and non-ciliated cells. Epithelium is characteristic. No distint columns. These cells are either ciliated or non cilated. They are kind of changing, one cell is ciliated, one is not
2) Clara cells: dome shaped granules. NOT ciliated

Question 30

purpose of clara cells in the bronchioles

Answer 30

There is no cartilage in bronchioles. Clara cells help keep the pathways open. Thye produce surfactant and reduce surface tension. Clara cells are also in volved in phagocytosis and produce enzymes that fight any type of chemical deris from the lung. Also produces lyozime. Fights bacterial and fungal infections

Question 31

T/F bronchioles have glands in their walls.

Answer 31

false. Smooth muscle and elastic fibers make up majority of wall, no cartilage or glands in bronchioles.

Question 32

Even though there are no formal glands in the bronchiole, what is considered the exocrine bronchiolar cell found in the bronchiole mucosa?

Answer 32

clara cells.

Question 33

Answer 33

Bronchioles. (a): A large bronchiole has the characteristically folded respiratory LOW COLUMNAR AND CUBOIDAL epithelium (E) and prominent smooth muscle (arrows), but is supported only by fibrous connective tissue (C) with no glands.

(b) : Staining for elastic fibers reveals the high elastic content (arrowhead) associated with the muscle of a smaller bronchiole (B).
(c) In very small bronchioles the epithelium (E) is reduced to simple low columnar and the several layers of smooth muscle cells (arrows) comprise a high proportion of the wall.

Question 34

Terminal bronchioles branch to give rise to ___ ___ , which have some single alveoli in walls

Answer 34

nTerminal bronchioles branch to give rise to respiratory bronchioles, which have some single alveoli in walls

Question 35

Discuss

Answer 35

a) Cross—section shows that a terminal bronchiole has only one or two layers of smooth muscle cells. The epithelium contains ciliated cuboidal cells and many low columnar nonciliated cells.
b) The nonciliated Clara cells with bulging domes of apical cytoplasm contain granules.

Question 36

respiratory bronchioles have ___ epithelium. Ciliated or noncilated? What types of ducts do they lead to?

Answer 36

Respiratory bronchioles have CUBOIDAL epithelium, NON ciliated and ciliated. they lead to alveolar ducts which terminate in sacs of alveoli

Question 37

Label

Answer 37

Terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, and alveoli. Note that respiratory bronchioles are similar in most respects to terminal bronchioles except for the presence of scattered alveoli along their length.

Question 38

Answer 38

1) type I neumocytes
2) type two pneumocytes
3) alveolar macrophages.

Question 39

what kind of cells are type 1 cells? Function? What kind of junctions do they have?

Answer 39

they are thin squamous epithlial cells. site of gas exchange. They have occludinf junctions and desmosomes.

Question 40

What kind of cells are type II cells? function?

Answer 40

they are CUBOIDAL cells with granules, same function as CLARA cells (surfactant).

Question 41

alveolar macrophages are derived from ____

Answer 41

monocytes

Question 42

Label. What part of the respiratory system is this?

Answer 42

Alveolar walls. As seen here the capillaries (C) contain erythrocytes. The alveoli are lined mainly by squamous type I alveolar cells (I). Type II alveolar cells line a bit of each alveolus and are large rounded cells, often bulging into the alveolus (II). Also present are alveolar macrophages (M), which may be in the alveoli or in the interalveolar septa.

Question 43

alveoli are surrounded by capillaries to created a ___-___ membranous barrier. What cells create this barrier?

Answer 43

blood-air membranous barrier. comprimsed of type 1 pneumocytes, endothelial cells of capillaries, and the basement membrane of type I pneumocytes and basement membrane of endothelium (both fused together)
