Transcript Mammalian Lungs

Lung Tissue
• List the features of the mammalian lung that
adapt it to efficient gaseous exchange
• Describe, with the aid of diagrams and
photographs, the distribution of cartilage, ciliated
epithelium, goblet cells, smooth muscle and
elastic fibres in the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles
and alveoli of the mammalian gaseous exchange
system;
• Explain the functions of cartilage, cilia, goblet
cells, smooth muscle and elastic fibres in the
mammalian gaseous exchange system;

Task
• Using textbooks and the internet, produce a piece of
work of your choice which meets the following success
criteria:
• It must describe with the aid of diagrams and
photographs, the distribution of cartilage, ciliated
epithelium, goblet cells, smooth muscle and elastic
fibres in the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli
of the mammalian gaseous exchange system;
• It must also have annotations (labels) which explain the
functions of cartilage, cilia, goblet cells, smooth muscle
and elastic fibres in the mammalian gaseous exchange
system;

Elastic fibres: aid in the expansion, contraction and stability of trachea walls
Smooth Muscle: smooth muscle contracts to constrict the airway, reducing the flow of air
to and from the alveoli e.g. an allergic reaction like asthma
Ciliated Epithelium: contain numerous tiny, hair like structures projecting from the
membrane called cilia. They waft mucus up the airway to the back of the throat- the
mucus is then swallowed into the stomach where the acid kills any bacteria trapped
within
Cartilage: Plays a structural role. It supports the trachea and bronchi, holding them open.
This prevents collapse when the air pressure is low during inhalation. It does not form a
complete ring so there is some flexibility for moving your neck etc.
Goblet Cells: Secrete mucus to trap tiny particles e.g. pollen or bacteria. This reduces the
risk of infection.
