Bronchus
This section of a small bronchus is stained for elastin, which particularly highlights the elastic tissue component of the lamina propria. The low pseudostratified, ciliated epithelium with goblet cells has a thick mucous layer that has trapped particulate material. Beneath the lamina propria is a prominent layer of smooth of muscle. Typical of a bronchial wall, is the presence of mixed glands and small plates of hyaline cartilage. 400x
