Respiratory mucosa

The mucosa of the larger conducting passageways (through the larger bronchioles) is lined by a pseudostratified columnar epithelium with cilia. A lamina propria consisting of loose connective tissue is located beneath the epithelium. Either a smooth muscle layer or an elastic lamina is frequently present, separating the mucosa from the submucosa. 400x, 400x
