Both the epithelium and submucosal glands of the conducting airways of the lung are
composed of a variety of recognizable cell types as determined by light and electron …

Epithelial thickness, depth of the ciliary layer and concentration of cells has been estimated
at 5 levels of the rat airway (3 extrapulmonary and 2 intrapulmonary) and the ultrastructure of …

The comparative composition of secretory components and cell surface moieties is
described in this review on epithelial cells of the respiratory tract in mouse, rat, and humans …

The normal female hamster respiratory epithelium at five airway levels was characterized
with the use of coordinated morphologic and histochemical techniques. Five morphologic …

The epithelium of the conducting airways of the mouse consists of a single layer of cells. The
number, type and form of these cells have been investigated at five airway levels from the …

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 …

The infrequency of mitotic figures led to dispute amongst early workers as to the occurrence
of cell division in adult mammalian airway epithelium [30, 63, 83, 227]. It was not until 1951 …

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 …

Although the scanning electron microscope has been used for a number of years by material
scientists, techniques have only recently been developed for the preparation of …

The human airway epithelium forms a barrier between the external and internal
environments, separating air from the interstitial space. However, it also serves many other …
