17
Q

Specialized cells types in the mucosa:

A
  • Stem cells (basal cells of pseudostratified epithelium, replace themselves)
  • Goblet cells (also stem cells, these can replace other cells of epithelium)
  • Neuroendocrine cells (may be associated with sensory reception and are more prevalent in infants)
18

  • Pseudostratified columnar epithelium w/o goblet cells
  • No distinct basement membrane
21
Q

Olfactory cell types

A
  • Sustentacular cells (support cells) with pigment granules
  • Basal cells with pigment granules: stem cells, give rise to immature olfactory cells
