By the end of this video, you should be able to differentiate the conducting vs respiratory portions of the bronchial tree, and between trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveolar sac, alveolus, and type I vs type II alveolar cells.
You will explain the role of mucous, cilia, cartilage, smooth muscle, surfactant, alveolar macrophages, goblet cells, basal cells, neuroendocrine cells, and alveolar epithelium in respiration.
You will identify the histological layers of trachea, bronchus, and bronchiole.
You will recognize respiratory epithelium, basement membrane, cilia, goblet and basal cells.
You will distinguish fibroblasts, lymphocytes, dust cells, and the pleura.
Overall, you will integrate structure and function of respiratory passages and alveoli.
