Trachea
-windpipe
-larynx at division forming
two primary bronchi at midthorax
-mucosa –
pseudostratified
epithelium (goblet cells)
-submucosa –
connective tissue
seromucous glands –
mucous -advantitia –
CT hyaline cartilage
Bronchial tree
-left and right primary bronchi
-formed by divisions of the trachea
-secondary bronchi (lobar)
-inside the lungs
-3 on the right
-2 on the left
-tertiary bronchi (segmental)
-fourth-order
-fifth-order
-23 orders of branching air ways
-bronchioles (under 1 mm in diameter
Cartilage:
-rings
-irregular plates
-no cartilage in bronchioles
-replaced by elastic fibers
Epithelium:
-pseudostratified (ciliated)
-columnar (ciliated)
-cuboidal in terminal bronchioles (no cilia)
Smooth Muscle:
-increases as tubes get smaller
