Keratinized stratefied squameous epithelium |
|
Where is olfactory epithelium found in the nasal cavity? What distinguishes this epithelium from respiratory epithelium?
|
Turbinates (dorsal, medial, and lateral surfaces)
Both are ciliated pseudostratefied columnar epithelium but olfactory is much thicker. |
|
What three cell types make up olfactory epithelium?
|
Olfactory cells
Sustentacular cells Basal cells |
|
T or F
Olfactory cells are not technically neurons. |
False, *******!
Olfactory cells are modified bipolar neurons. |
|
What tissue in the nasal cavity is responsible for temperature regulation?
|
Erectile tissue
|
|
T or F
Lamina propria is fused with the periosteum in the paranasal sinuses. |
True
Word. |
|
What regulates peristalsis? Between which two layers is this structure found?
|
Myenteric plexes (Auerbach's plexes)
Found between inner and outer muscular layers of the muscularis externa. |
|
What is the support cell of the olfactory epithelium?
|
Sustentacular cell
|
|
What is the function of the vomeronasal organ?
|
Phermone detection
|
|
What respiratory region lies dorsal to the soft palate? What type of muscle is found in the tunica muscularis of this structure?
|
Nasopharynx
Skeletal muscle |
|
What connects the pharynx to the trachea? What structure prevents food aspiration in this region?
|
Larynx
Epiglottis |
|
What kind of epithelium is found in the nasopharynx?
|
Stratefied squameous epithelium
|
|
What is different between the trachea of birds and that of mammals?
|
Birds have complete cartilagenous rings while mammals don't.
|
|
What is the mucosa of the trachea?
|
Pseudostratefied columnar epithelium w/goblet cells.
|
|
Where is the tunica muscularis located in the trachea?
|
Trachealis m.
Found between cartilage rings. |
|
If the lung were a gland, what would it secrete?
|
CO2
|
|
What is the difference between bronchi and bronchioles?
|
Bronchi still have cartilage associated with them.
|
|
What arrangement does the muscle in the lamina muscularis in a bonchi have?
|
helical
|
|
What is found in bronchial fluid?
|
mucins
serum proteins lactoferrin sigA (mediates surface protection) IgM, glycoproteins |
|
T or F
Bronchiole mucosa is simple columnar or cuboidal and has a high density of goblet cells. |
FALSE FOOL!
No goblet cells on bronchioles. They do have cilia, though, to help move secretions out of the respiratory tract. |
|
What are the regenerative cells of the respiratory tract?
How do they degrade toxins? |
Clara cells
Cytochrome p450 pathway |
|
T or F
Respiratory bronchioles are present in all mammals. |
False.
