Study Notes
Olfactory Epithelium
- Basal cells make up 30% of the epithelium
- Brush cells with microvilli on apical surface and afferent nerve endings on basal surface act as chemosensory receptors, making up 3% of the epithelium
- Olfactory cells are bipolar neurons with nuclei located below the nuclei of supporting cells, with a small opening to the nasal cavity
Para-Nasal Sinuses
- Frontal sinus located in the forehead
- Ethmoid sinus located behind the nasal bone
- Sphenoid sinus located behind the ethmoid bone
- Maxillary sinus located on the sides of the nose
- The maxillary sinus is the largest and most likely to get infected
Nasopharynx
- First part of the pharynx
- Lined with respiratory epithelium
Pharynx
- Divided into three regions
- Terminal bronchiole is the last part of the air conducting system
Primary Bronchus
- Mucosa is structurally similar to tracheal mucosa except for the organization of cartilage and smooth muscle
- Cartilage rings completely encircle the lumen
Secondary and Smaller Bronchus
- Cartilage is reduced to many pieces of hyaline cartilage
- Smooth muscle, elastic fibers, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) become relatively more abundant as bronchi become smaller
- Mucosa are folded due to contraction of smooth muscle
Bronchioles
- Lack mucosal glands
- Lack cartilage
- Goblet cells are reduced
- Muscle becomes relatively more abundant
- Epithelium in larger bronchioles is ciliated pseudostratified columnar, decreasing in height to become ciliated simple columnar in smaller bronchioles
