ANA 321 2016/2017 Respiratory System Otu MESEMBE  Respiratory system comprising the lungs and a sequence of airways leading to the external environment This system providing Oxygen and eliminating Carbon dioxide is subdivided into: conducting portions respiratory portions Conducting portion Parts: nasal cavity, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, primary bronchi, secondary (lobar) bronchi, tertiary (segmental) bronchi, and terminal bronchioles functions : clean, warm and moisten air prior to reaching respiratory portion  Nasal cavity Nasal cavity composed of three regions( vestibule, respiratory and olfactory regions)  Vestibule Anterior portion of nasal cavity near of the nares dilated and known as the vestibule  lined with skin and has short, stiff hairs named vibrissae that prevent large dust particles to enter  dermis houses numerous sebaceous glands  Posterior aspect of Nasal cavity lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium (respiratory epithelium) respiratory epithelium Ciliated columnar cells: most common, each cell has about 300 cilia Goblet cells: secret mucous Brush cells: have short microvilli, nerve fibers, sensory function Basal cells: are rounded stem cells that located near basal lamina and show mitotic figures Small granule cells (kulchitsky cells= DNEs)  Subepithelial CT (lamina propria) is richly vascularized, containing large arterial plexuses and venous sinuses, many seromucous glands and lymphoid elements  Olfactory region  the olfactory epithelium  lamina propria (serous secreting Bowman’s glands, a rich vascular plexus and many axons arising from olfactory cells of the olfactory epithelium) olfactory epithelium comprises three types of cells:  Olfactory cells olfactory cells are bipolar neurons whose apical aspect (dendrite) is modified to form a bulb known as olfactory vesicle  Sustentacular cells has a striated border composed of microvilli, and secretory granules they provide physical support, nourishment  Basal cells are short basophilic cells their apical aspects do not reach the epithelial surface they proliferate and replace both two other cells  Paranasal sinuses Epithelium is respiratory similar to the epithelium of nasal cavity Lamina propria fused with periosteum of bones and houses seromucous gland and also lymphoid elements Sinusitis  also known as a sinus infection or rhinosinusitis, is inflammation of the sinuses  Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), also immotile ciliary syndrome or Kartagener syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that causes defects in the action of cilia lining the respiratory tract (lower and upper, sinuses, Eustachian tube, middle ear) and fallopian tube Squamous metaplasia  refers to benign non-cancerous change (metaplasia) of (non-squamous) surfacing lining cells (epithelium) to a squamous morphology  Metaplasia: an initial change from normal cells to a different cell type (such as chronic irritation of cigarette smoke causing ciliated pseudostratified epithelium to be replaced by squamous epithelium more able to withstand the insult).  Dysplasia: an increasing degree of disordered growth or maturation of the tissue.  Dysplasia is still a reversible process.  However, once the transformation to neoplasia has been made, the process is not reversible.  Anosmia  is the inability to perceive odor or a lack of functioning olfaction—the loss of the sense of smell.  Anosmia may be temporary, but traumatic anosmia can be permanent.  Anosmia is due to an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blockage of nasal passages or a destruction of one temporal lobe. nasopharynx  Epithelium is respiratory similar to the epithelium of nasal cavity  Lamina propria : pharyngeal tonsil  Larynx  connects pharynx to trachea  is lined by respiratory epithelium  Laryngeal cartilages(hyaline and elastic) are located in lamina propria  The cartilages connected to each other by ligaments and move with respect to one another by some striated muscles  Larynx has two folds consist of superior and inferior  Superior vestibular folds lined by respiratory epithelium  Inferior vocal folds lined by stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium  Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or temporary complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds(vocal cords).  Dysphonia is the medical term for a vocal disorder, of which laryngitis is one cause.  croup  Epiglottis is an elastic cartilage of larynx  It is lined by stratified squamous epithelium on lingual surface Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lined the laryngeal side Serous and mucous glands located in lamina propria  Trachea is a long tube that has 3 layers: mucosa, submucosa and adventitia Bifurcates into 2 primary bronchi  Trachea Mucosa Respiratory epithelium composed of 6 cell types located on a thick basement membrane Goblet cells are about 30% of cells, produce mucinogen Ciliated columnar cells about 30% of cells, are tall which have cilia and microvilli Basal cells are also about 30% of cells, they are undifferentiated stem cells Brush cells are just 3% of cells, they are narrow columnar cells that their function is unknown, but nerve ending associated with them Serous cells are about 3% of cells, they are columnar and have serous granule DNES cells, constitute about 3-4% of cells, have numerous granule in basal cytoplasm which is contain various pharmacological agents Lamina propria composed of loose fibroelastic CT, contain seromucous glands and lymphoid elements, elastic lamina separate this layer from submucosa Submucosa Subnucosa is composed of dense irregular fibroelastic CT that houses mucous and seromucous glands, rich in blood and lymph supply Adventitia Adventitia is a fibroelastic CT that houses C-shaped hyaline cartilage, at posterior aspect of cartilage, there is a dense band of smooth muscle cells known as trachealis muscle  Bronchial Tree is composed of:  2 primary bronchus that enter lungs  3 lobar ( secondry) bronchus on right and 2 on the left  Segmental (tertiary) bronchus  bronchioles Terminal bronchioles Respiratory bronchioles Progressively airways decreased in size and cartilage, glands, goblet cells, and the height of epithelial cells But increase smooth muscle cells and elastic tissue  Primary Bronchi (Extrapulmonary)  Primary bronchi is identical to trachea, but have smaller diameter and thinner wall  Cartilage is in form of irregular plates  Smooth muscle located between lamina propria and submucosa as 2 distinct layers  Bronchioles  have not any cartilage or glands  but have few goblet cells  In larger bronchioles epithelium is simple columnar ciliated, with occasional goblet cells  In smaller bronchioles epithelium change to simple cuboidal, with no goblet cells  Bronchioles have a smooth muscle coats surrounded by fibroelastic connective tissue  Bronchioles Terminal bronchioles are terminus of conducting portion they are lined by cuboidal cells(some with cilia) and Clara cells which have domed apical surface Lamina propria is a fibroelastic CT, 1-2 layer of smooth muscle cells separate it from adventitia Clara cells ( exocrine bronchiolar cells) Clara cells are columnar with dome-shaped apex secretory granules RER, which secret glycoproteins and surfactant-like materials degrade toxins(SER) divide to replace other cells antimicrobial peptide bronchiolitis  Bronchiolitis is inflammation of the bronchioles, the smallest air passages of the lungs.  Obliterative bronchiolitis Asthma  (broncospasm)  Epinephrine  Respiratory Bronchioles  are a transitional zone between conducting and respiratory tissues  Alveoli branching from their walls  are lined by ciliated cuboidal epithelium with Clara cells that change to type I alveolar cells  Smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers underlie epithelium Atelectasis  is defined as the collapse or closure of the lung resulting in reduced or absent gas exchange.  It may affect part or all of one lung. Alveolar Ducts  do not have wall of their own  They are only a linear arrangements of alveoli  they end as a blind out pouching known as alveolar sac  Opening of alveolus to AD controlled by a single smooth muscle cell embedded Diffuse alveolar damage  Adult respiratory distress syndrum  Cause:  bacterial & viral infection  Toxic gases  Excessive oxygen  fat embolism syndrume  Alveolus Alveolus has 200 micrometer in diameter and is the functional unit of respiratory system Open as out pouching from RB, AD Composed of attenuated type I and type II pneumocytes Connective tissue between them are very scant Air space of two adjacent alveoli communicate through an alveolar pore Interalveolar septum is between alveoli have an extensive capillary bed  Cells of the Alveolar Septa  Endothelial cells are nonfenestrated with a thin dark nucleus, and pinocytotic vesicles  Type I squamous cells that cover most of alveolar surface area, they have pinocytotic vesicles  Type II (greater alveolar) cells are cuboidal, located on alveolar surface where septa intersect, they have foamy cytoplasm, surfactant granules (reduces surface tension to keep alveoli open during expiration)  Alveolar macrophages that are known as dust cells  Interstitial cells consist of fibroblasts and mast cells  Elastic & reticular fibers Type I pneumocytes (Squamus alveolar cells) 95% of the alveolar surface is composed of the simple squamous cells which are known as type I pneumocytes occluding junction attaches to other cells have basal lamina, alveolar pore formed by fusion of two adjacent type I cells  Type II pneumocytes (Septal cells) They are more numerous than type I cover just 5% of the alveolar surface located among type I cells, cuboidal with dome-shaped apical Located where adjacent alveoli separated by septum They have an abundance of RER, developed golgi complex, their lamellar bodies contain pulmonary surfactant  Alveolar Macrophages (Dust cells) Known as type III pneumocytes Originate from monocytes that migrate to pulmonary interstitium Migrate between type I cells and enter alveolar lumen Maintain a sterile environment Assist type II to uptake surfactant Lamellar granules  membrane-coating granules (MCGs), lamellar bodies,keratinosomes or Odland bodies) are secretory organelles found in type II pneumocytes and keratinocytes.  They are oblong structures, appearing about 300-400 nm in width and 100-150 nm in length intransmission electron microscopy images.  Lamellar granules fuse with the cell membrane and release their contents into the extracellular space.  Blood Gas Barrier BGB is the thinnest regions of the interalveolar septum where gases can be exchanged This barrier is composed of: Type I alveolar cells surfactant that covers them Common basal lamina of the type I and endothelial cells Endothelial cells of capillary network  pleura  The visceral pleura is made up of a simple squmous/cuboidal epithelium (the mesothelium) and some connective tissues beneath it.  Small blood vessels are lymphatics are found in the connective tissue.  The presence of alveoli indicate that this is the visceral and not the parietal pleura. pneumothorax  is an abnormal collection of air or gas in the pleural space that causes an uncoupling of the lung from the chest wall.  Like pleural effusion (liquid buildup in that space), pneumothorax may interfere with normal breathing.  It is often called collapsed lung, although that term may also refer to atelectasis Heart failure cells  are siderophages (hemosiderin- containing macrophages) generated in the alveoli of patients with left heart failure or chronic pulmonary edema when the high pulmonary blood pressure causes red cells to pass through the vascular wall.  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD), and chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), among others, is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by chronically poor airflow.  Long-term exposure to the irritants causes an inflammatory response in the lungs resulting in narrowing of the small airways and breakdown of lung tissue, known as emphysema
