HA16: Bronchioles

Resp16l
HA16 is an image of the epithelium and lamina propria of a bronchiole. The arrows in HA16 point to bundles of smooth muscle in the lamina propria. Cartilage is functionally replaced by large numbers of smooth muscle cells in this bronchiole, which is defined by the absence of cartilage rings or plates.
