Transition of terminal to respiratory bronchiole

This transition shows the simple columnar ciliated epithelium of the terminal bronchiole continuing into simple cuboidal epithelium with scattered cilia of the respiratory bronchiole. Club cells are present in both passages, as are longitudinally arranged elastic fibers in lamina propria and a thin muscle layer. 400x
