38
Q

What are the major parts of the lining of the trachea? (Iayers)

A

composed of concentric rings of mucosa, submucosa, an incomplete muscularis, and a complete adventitia

39
Q

Mucosa of the trachea have what components?

A

a pseudostratified epithelium, an underlying vascularized loose connective tissue (lamina propria) that contains immune cells, and a thin layer of smooth muscle cells (muscularis mucosa)

40
Q

Describe the submucosa of the trachea?

A

vascular surface area containing large blood vessels. Collagen fibers, lymphatic vessels and nerves

41
Q

Describe the adventitia of the trachea?

A

outside covering composed of several layers of loose connective tissue

42
Q

Describe psudostratified columnar epithelium.

A

all cells lie on the same basal membrane but only some reach the luminal surface

43
Q

Where is the only other place in the body with pseudostratified columnar epithelium?

A

the male reproductive tract

44
Q

The action of cilia moving dust and particles from the respiratory system up and out to be swallowed is called what?

A

mucosciliary escalator system

45
Q

What are PNE cells? What does it stand for?

A

Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cells; they are comparable to the endocrine cells in the gut

46
Q

What are other names for PNE cells?

A
  • APUD cells (amino precursor uptake decarboxylase)
  • DNES cells (Diffuse Neuro Endocrine System)
  • K (Kulchitsky) cells
47
Q

Where are Kultchitsky cells found?

A

they occur in clusters and are often located at airway branch points

48
Q

What are brush cells of the lungs?

A

may represent goblet cells that have secreted their product or intermediate stages in the formation of goblet or the tall ciliated cells

49
Q

What are basal cells of the lungs?

A

stem cells for the ciliated goblet cells

50
Q

Intensive irritation from smoking leads to the change from ciliated epithelium in the bronchioles to what type of epithelium?

A

squamous metaplasia

51
Q

Bronchial metastatic tumors arise from what type of cells?

A

kultchitsky cells

52
Q

The number of goblet cells and submucosa increases or decreases from the trachea to the small bronchi?

decreases

Are goblet or basal cells present or absent in terminal bronchioles?

A

absent

54
Q

Where are Clara cells found?

A

in the bronchioles

55
Q

Cystic fibrosis can result in abnormally thick mucous, in part due to defective chloride transport by what type of cells?

A

Clara cells

56
Q

What is another name for Clara cells?

A

bronchiolar secretory cells

57
Q

Describe what is secreted from Clara cells?

A

a serous solution similar to surfactant

58
Q

What is emphysema caused by?

A

a loss of elastic fibers bad results in chronic airflow obstruction

59
Q

Which is reversible? Asthma or emphysema?

A

asthma

60
Q

What is the major cell lining of the alveoli?

A

Type I pneumocytes

61
Q

Other names for Type I pneumocytes?

A

small alveolar cell

alveolar type I cell

62
Q

Which is primarily involved in gas exchange? Type I or Type II pneumocytes?

A

type I pneumocytes

63
Q

Which produces surfactant? Type I or Type II pneumocytes?

A

Type II pneumocytes

64
Q

Explain the component of surfactant that make it efficient in its major function? What is the major function of surfactant?

A

phospholipids act as detergent which lowers the surface tension of the alveoli and prevents alveolar collapse during expiration

65
Q

T/F. Corticosteroids induce the fetal synthesis of surfactant.

A

True

66
Q

High insulin levels in diabetic mothers potentiate or antagonize the effects of corticosteroids?

A

antagonize

67
Q

What is responsible for the recoil of lungs during expiration?

A

elastic fibers in the alveoli

68
Q

What are pores of Kohn?

A

openings in the wall of most alveoli

thought to be important in collateral ventilation
