4. Bronchioles: smaller passageways that originate from the bronchi that

become the alveoli
ss ss ss


5. 3 layers of the bronchioles: innermost

outermost layer ss


6. lamina propria: the middle layer of the bronchioles
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


7. structure of the lamina propria: embedded with connective tissue cells

and immune cells
ss ss ss


8. purpose of the lamina propria: white blood cells are present to help
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


protect the airways
ss ss ss


9. How does the lamina propria effect the lungs in regards to asthma:
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


the WBCs protective feature goes into overdrive causing an inflammatory

response that damages host tissue

10. What does the innermost layer of the bronchioles contain: columnar

epithe- lial ells and mucus producing goblet cells

airways ability to constrict and dilate

13. alveolar hyperinflation: When air is unable to move out of the alveolar

effects of the parasympathetic nervous system

18. MOA of anticholinergic drugs for asthma: the parasympathetic system

is stimulated by the vagal nerve to release acetylcholine which binds to the

cholinergic receptors of the respiratory tract to cause bronchial constriction =
