    Study Notes

    Respiratory System Overview

    • Divided into conducting part and respiratory part.
    • Conducting part includes:
      • Nasal cavities and sinuses
      • Nasopharynx
      • Larynx
      • Trachea
      • Bronchi
      • Bronchioles
      • Terminal bronchioles
    • Respiratory part includes:
      • Respiratory bronchioles
      • Alveolar ducts
      • Alveolar sacs
      • Alveoli

    Trachea Structure

    • Composed of four layers: Mucosa, Submucosa, Fibro-Cartilaginous coat, Adventitia.
    • Mucosa consists of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells.
    • Submucosa contains tracheal glands that are mixed in secretion (mucus & serous).
    • Fibro-Cartilaginous coat has 16-20 C-shaped rings of hyaline cartilage, maintaining the trachea's shape.
    • Adventitia is made of dense connective tissue bridging the gaps between cartilage rings with smooth muscle.

    Mucosal Epithelium Cell Types

    • Ciliated cells efficiently move mucus towards the larynx.
    • Goblet cells secrete mucin, forming mucus.
    • Brush cells function as sensory cells with few microvilli.
    • Basal cells serve as stem cells.
    • Serous cells produce serous fluid.
    • Kulchitsky cells have neuroendocrine functions, secreting serotonin and calcitonin.

    Bronchi Structure

    • Divided into extra-pulmonary and intra-pulmonary types.
    • Intra-pulmonary bronchi feature a decline in goblet cells and mucous glands as they become smaller, transitioning into bronchioles.
    • Structural layers include: Mucosa, Muscle layer, and Adventitia.
    • Increased elastic fibers in the walls aid in flexibility.

    Differences Between Trachea and Bronchi

    • Lumen: Trachea has a wider lumen; bronchi narrowing through intrapulmonary region.
    • Wall configuration: Trachea walls are flattened posteriorly, while bronchi walls are circular.
    • Mucosal folds vary; present in trachea's posterior aspect, highly folded throughout bronchi.
    • Epithelium: Trachea has more goblet cells compared to fewer in bronchi.
    • Elastic membranes are absent in bronchi but elastic fibers are scattered throughout the cartilage plates.
    • Glands are present in trachea's submucosa but located between cartilage plates in bronchi.

    Clinical Case Example

    • A 10-year-old child exhibits symptoms: cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
    • Clinical examination shows expiratory wheezes indicating potential respiratory problems such as asthma.
