1- Nasal Cavity, Pharynx and Larynx Lecture 1 – Upper Respiratory Tract Objectives By the end of this lecture the student should be able to describe the microscopic structures of: ! Vestibule of the nasal cavity. ! Respiratory mucosa of the nasal cavity. ! Nasal septum. ! Olfactory mucosa of the nasal cavity. ! Mucosa of the paranasal sinuses. ! Larynx. 3- Olfactory 1- Vestibule Region Para-nasal Sinuses Respiratory Sinusitis Epithelium Lamina Propria 2- Respiratory Region Mucousa “Mucous Membrane” A) Epithelium “respiratory” Pseudo-stratified ciliated columnar with goblet cells B) Lamina Propria 1- Large arterial plexuse & Venous sinuses “Vascular” 2- Many Seroumucous glands “Acini” 3- Abundant Lymphoid elements Site 2- Upper part 1- Roof of of Nasal Nasal Cavity Septum Structure A- Olfactory Epithelium > Pseudo-stratified Columnar Olfactory Cells Bipolar Neurons “olfactory nerve cells” Sustentacula Supporting Cells Columnar cells. Function > Physical support and nourishment for Olfactory Cells Basal Cells Pyramidal in shape, basal in position and act as stem cells. B- Lamina Propria > Highly Vascular CT 2- Bundles of 1- Bowmans’s Unmylinated Nerve “Olfactory” Glands Fibers > Axons + > Serous Acini Schwan like cels “Glial” 3- Rich Vascular 4- Numerous Plexuse Lymphoid Elemnts Larynx A) Mucousa 2- Lamina Propria 1- Epithelium • Pseudo-stratified Columnar Epithelium With Goblet Cells • Location: • 1- Vocal Folds • 2- Super Surface of Epiglottis There are 2 pairs of Shelf-like Mucosal Folds Epithelium: Non keratinized Respiratory Epithelium Stratified Squamous Lamine propria Lamina Propria Loose C.T. with CT Containing seromucous bundles of glands elastic fiber lymphoid elements & and skeletal adipose cells muscles Larynx B) Cartilages C) Muscles Ligaments Respiratory Epithelium Pseudo-stratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium + Goblet Cells Stem Cells E.g.
