Q

At what level traveling deeper into the respiratory system, does hyaline cartilage stop playing a role in its structure?

A

Terminal bronchiole

17
Q

What are the structures numbered 1-3?

A
18
Q

Describe the orientation of smooth muscle fibers and elastic fibers around the bronchioles.

A

Smooth muscle fibers are oriented concentrically

Elastic fibers are oriented longitudinally

19
Q

What is this a slide of?

A

Terminal bronchiole

Note: the absence of cartilage as well as some smooth muscle still present

20
Q

What do each of the letters represent?

A

A: alveoli

AD: alveoli ducts

AS: alveoli sacs

R: respiratory bronchiole

T: Terminal bronchiole

21
Q

Where are club cells found? What is their former name? What do they produce?

A

The number of clara cells progressively increases the number of goblet cells decreases. Goblet cells disappear entirely at the level of the terminal bronchiole.

Former name: Clara Cells

Club cells produce surfactant

22
Q

What are the three types of cells present in the alveolar sac?

A

Type I pneumocytes

Type II pneumocytes

Alveolar macrophages

23
Q

What type of cells produce surfactant in the alveoli?

A

Type II pneumocytes

24
Q

Replace each blue dot with these abreviatons: P1, P2, E, M, or C.

P1: type 1 pneumocyte, P2: type 2 pneumocyte, E: endothelial, M: macrophage, C: capillary

A
25
Q

What is being circumscribed in blue in this type II pneumocyte?

A

Surfactant granule

26
Q

What is the composition of surfactant?

A
27
Q

What are some common respiratory diseases?

A

Rhinovirus infections, Influenza, Pneumonia, Emphysema, Cystic Fibrosis, and Asthma

28
Q

Rhinoviruses typically affect which portion of the respiratory system?

A

The conducting system

29
Q

What are some of the symptoms of the flu?

A

Fever, sore throat, muscle and head aches, coughing, and fatigue

30
