Respiratory Histology - What’s in Your Lung?

Explore the intricate structure and function of the respiratory system in this 17-minute video lecture on respiratory histology. Dive into the anatomy of the lungs, distinguishing between the conduction zone and respiratory zone. Learn about the pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium lining the trachea and the two types of pneumocytes found in the respiratory zone. Understand the roles of type 1 and type 2 pneumocytes in gas exchange and surfactant production. Discover the importance of Clara cells and their functions within the respiratory system. Gain valuable insights into the histological features that enable efficient breathing and gas exchange in the human body.
