Goblet cells
Where are goblet cells not found in the respiratory system?
Terminal bronchioles
Why are goblet cells not found distal to the ciliated pseudostratified columnar cells?

The area where air is conducted but no gas exchange occurs in the conducting zone
Which structure(s) are NOT part of the conducting zone in the respiratory system?
Alveoli
What happens to airway resistance as the generation number increases in the respiratory tree?
Airway resistance decreases
