Experiment 14.1
The Histology of the Lung
Introduction: This experiment will give you a change to see an alveolus, a capillary, and the respiratory membrane.
Procedure: I studied a slide of a lung tissue and observed the various structures, mainly the alveoli, capillaries, and the respiratory membrane. I then drew pictures of the structures in different microscope powers.
Summary: Very briefly, we will discuss how air travels to the lungs. First, air travels down your larynx, and then into the trachea, which splits into two bronchi. Air will go down the bronchi leading to the lung (one bronchi brings air to the lung while the other carries air out of the lung) and will travel to either the right or left lung via the right or left primary
