Cards

Term
describe bipolar cells
Definition

single denrite projected to apical surface of skin,

6-8 nonmotile cilia,

basal axon enter basal lamina covered in Shwann cells but unmyelinated

Sustentacular cells: microvilli that provide support and nourishment for olfactory cells and insulate them.

basal cells: regenerative cells into sustentacular and olfactory cells. anchored at basal lamina

Term
Where do you find the Bowman's gland?
Definition

(SEROUS) in the lamina propria that contains

odorant-binding protiens

has swell bodies to heat the air, this dehydrates the mucus

Term
where do you find non-keratinized epithelium
Definition
anteriour surface of epiglotis, exteriour portion of the larynx, and vocal folds.  The rest is regular ciliated pseudostratified epithelium with goblet cells.
Term
What keeps the the lining of the vocal folds moist?
Definition
Lamina propria contains seromucous glands that are abundant over the epiglottis and in the saccules
Term
describe the mucosa of the bronchi
Definition

ciliated columnar is for clearance

Goblet cells decrease towards bronchioles where they are absent, except when irritated

Neuroendocrine cell of Kulchitsky: found in fetal lungs

mainly T-lymphocytes

 

Term
describe the submucosa of the bronchi
Definition

contains seromucous glands that secrete mucins, lactoferrin, lysozyme, IgA produced by plasma cells and protease inhibitors. epmphysema is due to deficiency in alpha1 anti-trypsin

 

 

Term
what happens with asthma?
Definition

basal lamina thickens: leukocytes go to lamina propria

edema and inflammation of wall

submucosal glands increase in size

increase of goblet cells

 

Increase in mucous=increase in bacterial growth

hypertrophy and hyperplasia of smooth muscle.

Term
list architecture of intrapulmonary bronchi
Definition

Mucosa

muscularis

submucosa: new layer of SM

cartilage (plates or islands)

Adventitia

 

Term
describe mucosa of bronchioles?
Definition

DO NOT HAVE SUBMUCOSA OR CARTILAGE!

epithelium progressively diminishes in height

Clara cells present in terminal and respiratory bronchioles that secrete surfactant CC16 (can be measured in blood when damage occurrs), they also play role in Cl- ion transport and regenerate bronchiolar epithelium

Lamina Propria: glands are absent

Term
describe type II alveolar cells
Definition

more # than type I, but only cover 10%

cuboidal cells connected to type I cells through tight junctions

lamellar bodies secrete surfactant

capable of cell division and make type I or II cells

 

Cortisol induces surfactant

Term
what is the function of alveolar macrophages (dust cells)?
Definition

found in lumen and migrate over epithelial surface ciliated areas.

eliminated by mucociliary clearance

some migrate to visceral pleura black speckles

activated macrophages release proteases, kept in check by alph1 antitrypsin

 

defect in alveolar macrophages leads to Emphysema!!

Term
what can occur in the interalveolar septum?
Definition

space b/n adjacent alveolar epithelium.

chronic injury leads to fibrosis

 

activate T-cells and macrophages stimulate fibroblasts

injury to type I cells: hypertrophy and hyperplasia of type II

 

increases in collagen type I

Term
where are blood gas barriers found?
Definition

Type I pneumocytes with adluminal surfactant

fused to basal lamina and continuous with capillary

Term
What is permanent enlargement of airspaces and destruction of walls of airspaces with no sign of fibrosis?
Definition
emphysema
Term
where does the respiratory section start?
Definition
when you reach the respiratory bronchile: supplies a primary pulmonary lobule
Term

what does a terminal bronchiole supply?

 

what does a respiratory bronchiole supply?

Definition

primary acinus: terminal

 

primary pulmonary lobule: respiratory

Term
what does the lamina propria of the vocal fold contain in the larynx?
Definition
Reinke's space and the vocal ligament
Term
is the primary bronchus extra or intra pulmonary?
Definition
extra pulmonary
