23-Respiratory-2018.Pdf Introduction The slides for this lab are located in the “Respiratory System” folders on the Virtual Microscope. In this lab, you will learn about respiratory and olfactory mucosae as well as the organization of the bronchiole tree. Something to keep in mind as you go through this lab is that everything that you are looking at is on a continuum. If an area has several characteristics that seem to split it between two categories, then it is probably safe to assume that you are viewing a region of transition. Lucky you! Learning objectives and activities Using the Virtual Slidebox: A Identify the characteristic features of respiratory mucosa. B Identify the characteristic features of olfactory mucosa. C Apply your knowledge of the basic tissues to identify the components of the bronchial tree. D Distinguish between the cells of the inter-alveolar septum. E Complete the self-quiz to test your understanding and master your learning. Identify the characteristic features of respiratory mucosa. Examine Slide 1 (44) to identify the characteristics of respiratory mucosa. This slide is a soft palate. The soft palate is a barrier that is involved in swallowing and breathing.

  • Use of Antibodies to Carcinoembryonic Antigen and Human Milk Fat Globule to Distinguish Carcinoma, Mesothelioma, and Reactive Mesothelium
    J Clin Pathol 1984;37:1215-1221 Use of antibodies to carcinoembryonic antigen and human milk fat globule to distinguish carcinoma, mesothelioma, and reactive mesothelium RJ MARSHALL, A HERBERT, SG BRAYE, DB JONES From the University Department ofHistopathology, Southampton General Hospital, Southampton SUMMARY Antibodies raised against human milk fat globule (HMFG 1 and 2) and carcinoem- bryonic antigen were used in an immunoperoxidase technique to differentiate mesothelioma, carcinoma, and benign, reactive mesothelium. Sixteen mesotheliomas, 27 lung carcinomas, and 13 specimens of reactive mesothelium were examined. Staining for carcinoembryonic antigen was not seen in reactive mesothelium or mesothelioma but was present in 22 of 27 carcinomas. Mesothelioma and carcinoma usually stained with HMFG 1 and 2; reactive mesothelium did not. These three antibodies may help to distinguish carcinoma, mesothelioma, and reactive mesothelium.

Microscopic anatomyof the lower respiratory system of the African giant pouched rat (Cricetomys gambianus, Waterhouse 1840). Int. J. Morphol., 29(1):27-33, 2011. SUMMARY:A qualitative and quantitative study, by light microscopy, was undertaken on the lower respiratory system of the African Giant pouched rat. Specifically, the trachea, bronchi and lungs were stained with Haematoxylin and eosin, Alcian blue at a pH of 2.5 and Periodic Acid-Schiff stains. Three cell types were identified in saggital sections of the trachea: the ciliated cells, basal cells and mucous cells. Fibers of the trachealis muscles in the laminar propria separated the underlying cartilages from the basal cells. Mucous cells were visible only in the membranous portion of the trachea and they were predominant in the rostral and caudal portion of the trachea. Lobar bronchi consisted of cuboidal epithelium and a layer of one or two smooth muscle cells and opened into segmental bronchi and respiratory bronchiole. Some tracheal cartilaginous rims stained blue with AB while most glandular cells stained red with PAS. The diameter of respiratory bronchiole, alveoli duct and alveoli were 24.93 µm (± 1.27), 21.14 µm (± 0.66) and 12.95 µm (± 0.21), respectively.

  • Nose-Introduction-Pdf 508.Pdf
    Nose – Introduction Documenting nonneoplastic lesions of the nose presents significant challenges, arising from the complex anatomy of the nasal cavity, with numerous cells types and unique anatomic features, and the evaluation of multiple sections, often with multiple concurrent lesions. The diagnoses should include any significant morphologic changes and should document predominant processes present at the time of evaluation. Nasal olfactory lesions are most commonly seen in inhalation exposures, but they are also seen in feeding studies, gavage studies, and intraperitoneal injection studies. Many factors, such as the route of administration, the physical characteristics of the test agent, and the species of animal, have a significant impact on the anatomic sites affected within the nasal cavity and on the types of lesions observed. For example, the tips of the nasal and maxillary turbinates, which are lined by transitional epithelium, are frequently the initial sites of injury in inhalation studies, but they may be unaffected when nasal lesions are caused by systemic exposure to an agent administered by another route or if enzymatic activation of the agent is required for toxicity. Nasal lesions are generally site specific due to regional deposition of the chemical and regional tissue susceptibility to the chemical, so it is advantageous to subdivide the diagnoses according to site, cell type, or other anatomic designators. The diagnoses should therefore identify the specific cell type(s) or anatomic site(s) involved, and most diagnoses of nasal lesions should include an epithelial type or another relevant anatomic landmark as a site modifier. The epithelial types affected are squamous, transitional, respiratory, and olfactory epithelium.

Comment: Goblet (mucous) cell hyperplasia (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5) is seen after exposure to some irritants and may be the only change noted in response to short-term exposure to a mild irritant. It is most often seen in areas of the nasal cavity that are lined by transitional and respiratory epithelium (levels I and II).

  • Regional Differences in Proliferative Activity of Nasal Epithelium in Rat
    KISEP Original Articles J Rhinol 4(2), 1997 Regional Differences in Proliferative Activity of Nasal Epithelium in Rat Sang Hag Lee, M.D., Jae Yong Lee, M.D. and Heung Man Lee, M.D. ABSTRACT We investigated the active proliferation sites of epithelial cells in normal nasal mucosa by immunohistochemical staining of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the marker of S phase of cell cycle and active cell proliferation. The whole nasal mucosa of the ten normal Sprague-Dawley rats were processed for PCNA immunolabeling. In respiratory portion, distinctly positive reaction was seen mainly in the anterior aspect, that is, the nuclei of squamous and non-ciliated cuboidal/transitional epithelium. These types of epithelial cells are transformed to pseudostratified ciliated epithelium in the posterior direction where positive reaction became scanty. In olfactory epithelium, the nuclei immunoreactive for PCNA were distinct in some area, but absent in other adjacent areas, lacking of region-specific immunolabeling that was observed in respiratory mucosa. These results suggest that anterior portion of nasal cavity is the main proliferation zone of normal nasal respiratory epithelium as well as the main site of protective function. In contrast, the neurogenesis of the olfactory nerve cells is not site-specific, indicating that any region covered by olfactory mucosa may be the main proliferation zone.

  • Cellular Organization and Biology of the Respiratory System Brigid L
    Cellular organization and biology of the respiratory system Brigid L. M. Hogan and Purushothama Rao Tata The lungs, which evolved in early terrestrial vertebrates, mediate the vital processes of supplying various mesenchymal cell types, including smooth muscle and fibroblasts that support epithelial O2 to the blood and removing CO2. Air enters through the mouth and trachea and is distributed homeostasis and lung functions as well as ectoderm-derived neurons. Although respiratory tract through the lung lobes by a highly branched, tree-like system of tubes lined by pseudostratified tissue shows limited turnover in homeostasis, damage to the respiratory epithelium can be epithelium. The intralobar airways supported by cartilage are known as bronchi; the smaller repaired by resident tissue stem cells. Furthermore, immune cells within the lung help protect branches lacking cartilage are known as bronchioles. The bronchioles terminate in millions of the lungs from infection and promote repair. Defects in the homeostatic and reparative tiny, thin-walled, highly vascularized sacs (alveoli) composed of specialized epithelial cells mechanisms may lead to diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, where gas exchange takes place. In addition to epithelial cells, the respiratory tract contains fibrosis and cancer, which together make a major contribution to mortality worldwide.
