    Study Notes

    Histology of the Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, and Alveoli

    • Trachea: C-shaped hyaline cartilage supports the trachea. Respiratory epithelium (ciliated pseudostratified columnar) lines it, with goblet cells. A submucosa, rich in seromucous glands, lies beneath the epithelium. The adventitia encloses the trachea and contains the fibromuscular membrane with trachealis muscle.

    • Trachea (Oblique Section): An oblique section can show multiple cartilages. The mucosa contains epithelium with goblet cells, basal lamina, lamina propria; the submucosa includes blood vessels and connective tissue; cartilage is hyaline, rich in sulfated GAGs (giving basophilic appearance). The perichondrium is thickest towards the adventitia.

    • Esophagus (Oblique Section): Similar to sections through the trachea, highlighting the layers and structures for comparison.

    • Bronchi: The primary and secondary/lobar bronchi are extrapulmonary, while tertiary to terminal bronchi are intrapulmonary (surrounded by lung tissue). The bronchi have a mucosa (epithelium, lamina propria with smooth muscle) and a submucosa (glands, cartilage segments). No intrapulmonary adventitia is present. They are distinguished by having hyaline cartilage plates.

    • Bronchi: The epithelium transitions to simple columnar epithelium in small bronchi and primary bronchioles. The smooth muscle layer becomes more significant, replacing cartilage.

    • Bronchioles: Conducting bronchioles lack cartilage and submucosal glands and have smooth muscles instead. Larger bronchioles have a simple columnar epithelium; smaller have a simple cuboidal epithelium. Cilia are present to prevent mucus from sliding backward.

    • Respiratory Bronchioles, Alveolar Ducts, and Alveoli: Respiratory bronchioles transition from conducting bronchioles. Alveolar ducts connect to alveoli. The epithelium in these regions is simple cuboidal (or simple squamous) epithelium, with club/Clara cells and smooth muscle. Alveoli display alveoliar sacs with simple squamous epithelium. The alveolar sac is lined by simple squamous epithelium (type I pneumocytes in particular). There are alveolar macrophages and blood vessels.

    • Alveoli: The epithelium is simple squamous (mainly Type I pneumocytes, with minor Type II surfactant-producing cells). The structures show inter-alveolar septa and pulmonary arteries.

    • Important Structures: Blood vessels, goblet cells, cilia are crucial for function. MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) and smooth muscle are related to defense and function.

    • Histology Techniques: The text emphasizes staining techniques, highlighting the visual cues for identifying different cell types (e.g. serous glands, mucous glands).
