Functions of the Respiratory System
-Conditioning of air (filteration, temperature adjustment and humidification).
-Olfaction
Phonation (production of sound)
-Gas exchange
-Metabolism- air and blood-borne compounds
-Defense-immune system
The basic structural feature of the functional epithelium is the =

Sites of Gaseous Exchange:
extraordinary reduction of the tissue mass to extremely thin and extensive sheets so that the functional components, air and blood are its major constituents and are brought into very intimate and extensive contact.

LM:
Pseudostratified columnar ciliated with Goblet cells

(Typical Respiratory Epithelium).
Three types of cells are identifiable

Typical Respiratory Epithelium

-Simple columnar ciliated
to
-Simple cuboidal ciliated
to
-Simple cuboidal nonciliated
to
-Simple squamous
In the regions exposed to direct air flow or physical abrasion (wear & tear) the respiratory epithelium changes to
stratified squamous non-keratinizing type e.g.
3ct
pharynx,
epiglottis
vocal cords.
In smokers, the proportion of ciliated cells to =
goblet cells is altered.
Clinical Note:

If air currents are changed, the affected area changes from typical respiratory epithelium to stratified squamous.

In smokers, the proportion of ciliated cells to goblet cells is altered.

Epithelium lies upon a basal lamina and is supported by connective tissue layer,

lamina propria

tubuloalveolar glands

Lamina propria contains small collections of lymphatic tissue.

Lamina propria lies on the periosteum or perichondrium thus forming mucoperiosteum or mucoperichondrium
