Aspect of a lung section observed with the objective of 10x.
We can see two
bronchi
and a blood vessel, concretely a
venule,
all surrounded by many
alveoli.
The wall of each bronchus is formed by a prismatic
ciliated
pseudostratified
epithelium,
a conjunctive
lamina propria
containing
smooth muscle fibers,
some plaques of hyaline
cartilage
and, sometimes, small
glands.
Details of these structures are observed at higher
magnification in other microphotographies (zones framed in
blue, red, and green)
