Document Summary

Trachea divides into two bronchi (pulmonary bronchi) If they are outside the lungs, they are called extra-pulmonary bronchi, if they are inside they are intra-pulmonary bronchi. The bronchi then divide and get smaller, and become regular bronchioles (smaller) The regular bronchioles split and become terminal bronchioles: all four of these are the conducting portion (warms the air and moistens it- conditioning, as well as keeps the airway open) The bronchioles get smaller and divide into respiratory bronchioles: transitional portion (functions as the transition between the conducting and the respiratory portion, where gas exchange starts) At the end of the tubes are the alveolar ducts and sacs: alveolar ducts have specific histological identification, this is where gas exchange happens at the air-duct interface. As you move downwards and get smaller, things have to move out. Epithelium: pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium with goblet cells (secrete mucous, part of air conditioning) Underneath is the lamina propria (loose ct).
