HISTOLOGY OF TRACHEA AND LUNG Dr.ushakannan,Asst.professor.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Conducting Part- responsible for passage of air and conditioning of the inspired air. Examples:nasal cavities,pharynx, trachea, bronchi and their intrapulmonary continuations. RespiratoryPart-involved with the exchange of oxygen and carbondioxide between blood and inspires air.Includesthe lungs
Trachea Left and Right lobar bronchus Lungs. Lobar Bronchi. . Lobes(Right 3 and Left 2.). Segmental bronchi Broncho-pulmonary segments(10+10) Bronchioles Terminal bronchioles. Respiratory Bronchioles. Alveolar ducts Alveolar sacs Alveoli.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM HISTOLOGY Trachea Bronchus -Primary bronchus -Secondary bronchus -Tertiary bronchus Bronchiole Lung
Trachea Mucosa -Epithelium -Lamina propria Sub mucosa Cartilage &muscle layer Adventitia
Trachea Mucosa Epithelium -Pseudo stratified ciliated columnar/ Respiratory epithelium Cells-Ciliated columnar cells - Goblet cells -Brush cells - Basal cells -Granule (kulchitsky) cells Secretory cells -Clara cells( bronchiolar cells) surfactant. Lamina propria - fibre, Lymphocyte, Mast cells, Blood vessels Elastic
Trachea Sub mucosa- Loose connective tissue Tracheal glands-Mixed (serous &mucus) glands Blood vessels and ducts Cartilage &smooth muscle layer- ”C” Shaped hyaline cartilage having perichondrium and chondrocytes Ends of cartilage connected by smooth muscles Adventitia-fibro elastic tissue
CELLS SEEN IN THE RESPIRATORY PASSAGES Goblet cells Non-ciliated serous cells Basal cells Cells of Clara Brush cells Argyrophil Cells similar to diffuse endocrine cells of gut Lymphocytes
BRONCHUS Principal bronchus -same as trachea Secondary /Lobar bronchus -Irregular hyaline cartilage -Pseudo stratified ciliated columnar Tertiary /Segmental bronchus -Columnar epithelium -Patches of cartilage
Segmental or tertiary bronchus: The number of Goblet cells reduced.(epithelium) The number of Glands reduced.(submucosa) The cartilage is present in the irregular plates.
BRONCHIOLE Terminal bronchiole -Columnar epithelium -No cartilage - smooth muscle + -Clara cells (dome shaped) present -Cuboidal epithelium -No mucous gland Respiratory bronchiole
RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLE Cuboidal epithelium. No mucus gland.
Lined by simple ciliated or columnar epithelium. Smooth muscles form ring underneath the epithelium in between two adjacent alveoli.
Alveolar duct-Alveolar sac. Alveolar duct lined by simple squamous epithelium. Increase the surface area of gaseous exchange. Surrounded by network of capillaries.
Inter alveolar septum- Is the wall present in between the two adjacent alveoli. Consists of epithelial cells of each alveolus on both sides. Connective tissues contain capillaries,collagen,elastic fibres,fibroblasts and macrophages(dust cells).
Alveoli are thin walled outpouchings , lined by a single layer of cells. Two types: Pneumocyte 1 and2 cells. Also called pneumocyte or alveolar cells.
Type 1 Pneumocyteare squamous cells ,adjacent cells are joined together by tight junctions. Function: Gaseous exchange. Type 11 Pneumocytes: Cuboidal cells,scatteredamong type 1 cells. Secrete Pulmonary surfactant which lowers the surface tension and prevents alveoli from collapsig. Alveolar macrophages or Dust cells – Remove debris.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BRONCHI AND BRONCHIOLES Bronchus Glands are present. Presence of cartilage. Goblet cells are present. Spiraliyarranged smooth muscle layer. Mucosa folded lined by ciliated pseudostratified columnar cells. Bronchioles No glands No cartilage No goblet cells Thick smooth muscle layer Mucosa highly folded lined by simple columnar or cuboidal cells with Presence of Clara cells Many elastic fibres
