key (portage learning)
1. Histology - ANSWER the study of cellular anatomy of a tissue or organ
which can be viewed through a microscope
2. respiratory epithelium - ANSWER pseudostratified ciliated columnar
epithelium
3. cilia - ANSWER small hairlike structures
4. Function of cilia of respiratory epithelium - ANSWER sweep debris-laden
mucus into pharynx to be swallowed
5. Pseudostratified - ANSWER This type of epithelial tissue appears to have
multiple layers but all cells are in contact with the basement membrane
6. Columnar - ANSWER taller than wide
7. goblet cells - ANSWER produce mucus
goblet/wineglass appearance
8. stratified squamous epithelium - ANSWER found at entrance to respiratory
system - just inside the nostril (vestibule) of the nose
9. stratified - ANSWER more than one layer
, 10.squamous - ANSWER flattened
11.simple - ANSWER single layer
12.simple squamous epithelium - ANSWER single layer of flattened cells
allows for gas exchange to occur in respiratory bronchioles
13.when bronchioles get smaller and reach the respiratory bronchioles -
ANSWER the amount of goblet cells, ciliated cells, and cartilage decrease
all are absent from the respiratory bronchioles level
14.three major cell types of alveoli - ANSWER 1) type I alveolar cells
2) type II alveolar cells
3) macrophages
15.what are the two epithelial cell types in the alveoli - ANSWER type I and
type II alveolar cells
16.Type I alveolar cells - ANSWER simple squamous epithelium in junction
with capillaries
95% of alveolar epithelium
17.Type II alveolar cells - ANSWER produce and secrete pulmonary surfactant
that helps keep alveoli open
5% of alveolar epithelium
can divide to replace damaged type I alveolar cells
