Q

Olfactory receptor cells

A

bipolar neuron
dendrite projects to surface of epithelium where it dilates and forms an olfactory vesicle
6-8 nonmotile cilia come from this vesicle and fold themselves flat over surface of the epithelium
function in smell

Q

Well bodies

A

erectile venous bodies found within lamina propria of the mucosa
accumulate/engorge themselves with blood on one side of the nasal cavity, help redirect flow so opposite side can recondition itself and rehydrate

A

binds and eliminates iron from bacteria that feed on iron

protective and antibacterial

27
Q

lysozyme

A

destroys bacteria

protective

28
Q

IgA

A

secreted by glandular cells
synthesized by plasma cells in CT of sub-mucosa
endocytosed on basal doman, moves through glandular cell then secreted into lumen of duct system to find it’s way to surface of mucosa

29
Q

Alpha1-antitrypsin

A

keep proteases in check that are released when there’s a state of inflammation

30
Q

Asthma leads to an increase of

A 
mucus
thickness of basal lamina
thickness of lamina propria
thickness of muscularis
glands in submucosa
31
Q

Changes because of chronic bronchitis

A

metaplasia in epithelium
sqollen, edema, dark staining basophilic cells in the BM
hypertrophied muscularis
submucosa have far more gland profiles

32
Q

largest

gives rise to terminal bronchiole

33
Q

pseudostratified
simple columnar
simple cuboidal

34
Q

What cells are present in the bronchioles

globlet cells (in large bronchioles)
brush cells
ciliated cells
non-ciliated cells
neuroendocrine
club (in smaller bronchioleS)
35
Q

A

located in terminal/respiratory bronches
produce surfactant-like substance and CC 16 proteins
stem cell

36
Q

CC 16 protein

A

anti-inflammatory

anti-oxidation

37
Q

Type I pneumocytes

A

large and tan, flattened squamou cells to decrease blood-air barrier/faciliate movement of CO2
occupy large surface area of alveoulus

38
Q

Type II pneumocytes

A

more cuboidal and have microvilli

more numerous than type 1 but significantly less SA

39

_____ stimulate synthesis of surfactant

A

corticosteroids

42
Q

______ inhibits corticosteroids

insulin

this is why diabetic moms can lead to higher incidence of respiratory distress syndrome

43
Q

What happens to alveolar macrophage during heart failure?

accumulate hemosiderin

44
Q

What is the blood-air barrier formed by?

A

surfactant
type I alveolar cell
basal lamina
endothelia
