Histology of the respiratory system
2
Objectives Discuss the microscopic features of Nasal cavity. Discuss the microscopic features of Epiglottis. Discuss the microscopic features of Larynx. Discuss the microscopic features of Trachea. Discuss the microscopic features of lung.
3
Respiratory system Lung Conducting portion Intrapulmonary bronchi Bronchioles Terminal bronchioles Respiratory portion Respiratory bronchioles Alveolar ducts Alveoli Airways – conducting portion Bronchi (extra pulmonary) Trachea Larynx Pharynx (naso – oro – laringo-) Nasal cavity/mouth – paranasal sinuses
4
Function To provide O2 To eliminate CO2 from cells By respiration Breathing/ventilation (in – out - lung) External respiration (CO2-O2 exchange - in blood) – respiratory portion - lung Transport of gases – to cells Internal respiration (CO2-O2 exchange- in the vicinity of cells)
5
Breathing/ventilation Thoracic cage: parietal – visceral pleura lung – pleural cavity – thin film - serous lubricant Muscles: inter costal – scalenus –abdominal, etc. Diaphragm Elastic – collagen fibers – lung via conducting portion – function As conduit/ airways/transport Filter clean moistened - warm
6
Nasal cavity Walls - borders nasal septum - bone - cartilage Bony wall - ala nasi – cartilage Openings: Nares/nostrils – anterior Choanae – posterior

8
Nasal cavity Anterior portion – vestibule: vibrissae – skin - sebaceous + sweat glands Posterior aspect – nasal fossae: resp ep - conchae (sup, mid, inf), olfactory region, Kiesselbach area: arterial plexuses and venous sinuses bleeding
9
Nasal Cavity Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium Non Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells Olfactory Epithelium
10
Lamina Propria Mucous Glands Serous Glands Venous Sinuses Mucoperiosteum or Mucoperichondrium Secretions of nasal mucosa - Bactericides - Lysozymes
11
Nasal Cavity
12
Olfactory region Roof-nasal cavity, superior aspect-nasal septum, concha superior Olfactory epithelium - yellow Olfactory cells- bipolar neuron: dendrite end - olfactory vesicle – olfactory cilia – odor receptor Sustentacular cells, basal cells source: Gartner Lamina propria Bowman’s gland - serous Capillary plexus

Paranasal sinuses Frontal-maxillary-ethmoid-sphenoid Paranasal sinuses - nasal cavity Mucosa ≈ posterior nasal cavity Respiratory epithelium Lamina propria Seromucous gland Lymphoid tissue Periosteum

17
Pharynx (naso-oro-laringo) Mucosa Respiratory epithelium Stratified squamous epithelium Lamina propria – loose-dense irreguler CT Vascularized Seromucous gland Lymphoid tissue – posterior: pharyngeal tonsil Skeletal muscle-epimysium Jeanne Adiwinata Pawitan
18
Larynx – voice box Additional function: Phonation Prevent food/drinks – respiratory system Tube : cartilage (hyaline, elastic) – ligaments – skeletal muscles (intrinsic-extrinsic) Epiglottis – elastic cartilage Stratified squamous non keratinized epithelium Pseudostratified (respiratory epithelium) Vestibular fold – false vocal cord (superior) Vocal fold - true vocal cord (inferior) - stratified squamous Vocalis muscle vocal ligament – regular dense elastic CT
21
Trachea–extrapulmonary bronchus Mucosa Respiratory epithelium – pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium: goblet, cilated columnar, basal, brush, serous, DNES cells L propria – loose fibroelastic-mucous, seromucous gl-lymphoid tissue --elastic lamina Submucosa-dense irreg. fibroelastic CT, mucous- seromucous gl- lymphoid tissue Adventitia – fibroelastic CT - C ring hyaline cartilage (p cartilaginea) – fibrous CT – smooth muscle (p. membranacea)

Lung
29
Respiratory Bronchiole

Lung Intrapulmonary bronchus (2ndary -3tiary: lobe – broncho pulmonary segment) Mucosa –folded app Respiratory epithelium L propria – fibroelastic- seromucous gl-lymphoid nodules --Smooth muscles-spiral Submucosa-seromucous gl-lymphoid nodules Adventitia – plates of cartilage (hyaline) Bronchioles Mucosa Pseudostratified columnar epithelium- goblet cells ciliated simple columnar ciliated cuboidal (with Clara cells) Lamina propria No glands Elastic fibers Smooth muscles – helical loose meshwork – surrounded by fibroelastic CT
31
Lung Terminal bronchioles Most distal conducting portion Ciliated simple cuboidal epithelium with Clara cells Lamina propria – fibroelastic CT Smooth muscle cells Adventitia-elastic fibers

Alveolar walls & Alveolar cells
35
Lung Respiratory brochioles Similar – terminal br. Wall – alveoli – gas exchange Alveolar duct Wall ≈ alveoli ends into alveolar sac Alveolar sac Cluster of alveoli Open – common space - atrium
36
Alveolar cells
37
Jeanne Adiwinata Pawitan
38
Alveolus Small air sac - gas exchange Between alveoli – interalveolar septum – alveolar pores Connective tissue: elastic, reticular (coll III) – lymphoid tissue Macrophages, fibroblast, myofibroblast, mast cells Continuous capillary bed (from pulmonary artery vein) Both side Type I pneumocytes/alveolar cells - squamous alveolar cells) – tight junction – basal lamina – very thin region permeable to gasses Type II pneumocytes/alveolar cells - great alveolar cell – septal cells – surfactant – surface tension↓ ≠ collapse
39
Alveolus Alveolar macrophages Monocytes Migrate – through pneumocytes I lumen alveolus phagocytose surfactant, particulate matter (dust, bacteria) dust cells bronchy – cilia– swallowed/ expectorated Migrate back - connective tissue - interpulmonary septum lymph vessel Alveolar pores of Kohn 8-60 µm Rim: fusion cell membrane – two pneumocytes I – both side - interalveolar septum In alveolar septum air communication between alveoli Function: equalize air pressure
40
Blood gas barrier Gas exchange – thinnest region – interalveolar septum: alveolar lumen – blood Surfactant Pneumocyte I – thin region Fused basal laminae Endothelial cell – continuous capillary
41
Defense mechanism Vibrissae – filter large particles Mucus – trap smaller particles Cough reflex – expectoration Alveolar macrophages – phagocytose Lymphoid tissue – specific immune response
42
Pleura Mesothelial cells Connective tissue Pleural effusion - fluid Haemothorax - blood Pneumothorax - air Pleuritis - infection
43
Clinical correlation Normal Smooth muscle-bronchioles – para sympathetic Inpiration – relax Expiration-end –contract Asthma prolonged contraction – expiration Lumen << – wheezing, dyspnea Hypersecretion goblet cell, mucus/serous gl Steroids, Β2-agonist -relax Premature infant surfactant << - respiratory distress syndrome Synthetic surfactant Glucocorticoid maturation of pneumocyte II Emphysema Longterm exposure- cigarette smoke ≈ inh – antitrypsin >< elastase – dust cells – elastic fiber destructed
