Terminal Bronchiole

The smallest bronchiole (terminal) resembles a larger bronchiole except that it is narrower in diameter and its layers are thinner. The epithelium is simple columnar with cilia; club cells appear for the first time here. Elastic fibers continue in the lamina propria. A smooth muscle layer is still present. 200x, 1000x
