Functions of the Respiratory System
|
-Conditioning of air (filteration, temperature adjustment and humidification).
-Olfaction Phonation (production of sound) -Gas exchange -Metabolism- air and blood-borne compounds -Defense-immune system |
|
|
The basic structural feature of the functional epithelium is the =
Sites of Gaseous Exchange: |
extraordinary reduction of the tissue mass to extremely thin and extensive sheets so that the functional components, air and blood are its major constituents and are brought into very intimate and extensive contact.

Typical Respiratory Epithelium
LM: |
Pseudostratified columnar ciliated with Goblet cells
(Typical Respiratory Epithelium). |
|
|
Three types of cells are identifiable
Typical Respiratory Epithelium |
Columnar ciliated
Goblet cells Basal cells |
|
|
EM: 6 cell types
Typical Respiratory Epithelium |
Ciliated columnar cells
Mucous goblet cells Brush Cells other Brush cells Basal cells Small granule cells |

Mucous Ciliated Basal Small Brush other Brush |
|
Ciliated columnar cells:
Typical Respiratory Epithelium |
Most abundant
~ 300 cilia per cell Mitochondria below apical surface |
|
|
Goblet cells:
Typical Respiratory Epithelium |
Secretion of mucous

|
Changes in the character of Respiratory Epithelium =
5ct |
-Pseudostratified columnar ciliated
to -Simple columnar ciliated to -Simple cuboidal ciliated to -Simple cuboidal nonciliated to -Simple squamous |
|
|
In the regions exposed to direct air flow or physical abrasion (wear & tear) the respiratory epithelium changes to
|
stratified squamous non-keratinizing type e.g.
3ct |
pharynx,
epiglottis vocal cords. |
|
In smokers, the proportion of ciliated cells to =
|
goblet cells is altered.
|
Clinical Note:
If air currents are changed, the affected area changes from typical respiratory epithelium to stratified squamous. In smokers, the proportion of ciliated cells to goblet cells is altered. |
