A graphic reconstruction has been made of a submucosal gland from a normal human main
bronchus, revealing a collecting duct not previously described. Ciliated respiratory …

Mucous secretions covering the surface of the trachea and major bronchi of the rabbit lung
have been demonstrated with the scanning electron microscope. The surface secretion …

Incorporation and discharge of radioactive glucose and threonine by the mucous and serous
cells of the human bronchial submucosal gland have been studied quantitatively using …

The tracheobronchial glands, composed of mucous and serous secretory cells, provide a
mucin-rich, antimicrobial-rich secretion for the conducting airways. The secretory processes …

2 Anatomy have shown these to contain predominantly neutral mucin and sulfomucins. 11
However, variation in both ultrastructural and histochemical features has been demonstrated …

In chronic bronchitis the main clinical feature is the overpro duction of bronchial mucus, the
structural basis for which is an in crease in the number of mucus-secreting cells, epithelial …

The ultrastructure of the cells of the bronchial submucosal glands has been little studied
inman or animal. In a paperdescribing the Kultschitzsky cell in the human bronchial glands …

The eight epithelial cell types and their features are described--the basal, Kultschitzsky,
intermediate, brush, ciliated, serous, Clara, and mucous cell. In the irritated airway the …

Materials and Methods From autopsy materials, human lungs were obtained (1) from a
patient with no evident lung pathology,(2) from a patient with primary idiopathic obstructive …

We have compared the distribution, numbers and volume of mucous glands in the tracheas
of 11 mammalian species. No glands were present in the rabbit. The mouse only contained …
