Q

Quantity of cartilage as we get to alveoli

A

Decrease in cartilage as getting to alveoli –> increase in smooth muscle
Decrease in cartilage –> decrease in goblet cells

Q

Name of olfactory glands

A

Bowmnan’s glands

19
Q

Epithelium of larynx

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

20
Q

What is at middle of larynx

A

Elastic cartilage

21
Q

Esternal to internal layers trachea

A

Adventitia - cartilaginous layer - submucosa - mucosa

22
Q

Submucosa of trachea contains

A

Tubuloacinar glands, seromucous glands

23
Q

Difference between bronchi (the main bifurcations of trachea) and trachea

A

Brinchi have plates rather than rings of cartilage + have a layer of smooth muscle between lamina propria and submucosa

24
Q

Number of glands and goblet cells increases or decreases as getting to alveoli

25
Epithelium in large bronchioles
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
26
Epithelium in terminal bronchioles
Simple cuboidal w/ mixed ciliated cells
27
What lacks terminal bronchioles
Goblet cells
28
Is there cartilage and glands in bronchioles
NO
29
Where does gas exchange take place
Alveoli
30
Mucosa structure
Spiral bundles of smooth muscle
31
Submucosa structure
Loose - dense FECT
32
Muscularis externa structure
Hyaline cartilage
33
Adventitia structure
Loose FECT
34
Alveoli look like under microscope

35
Function of type 1 pneumocytes
Gas exchange
36
Function type II pneumocytes

Beneath alveolar lining cells
44
Where are pneumocytes type II found
Thick elastic fibers
