notes Thin section of the lung showing a large bronchiole, Mallory-Azan stain. Taken at 100x. IB 131L slide #31. In this image, the bronchiole is lined with simple columnar epithelium (note large nuclei all at the same level). No cartilage plates surround this bronchiole. Cilia may or may not be present but cannot be seen at this magnification. No goblet cells are visible. Given that the lining is columnar epithlium and not cuboidal, this is probably a terminal bronchiole, not an alveolar bronchiole. It is definitely not a bronchus; bronchi are lined with true respiratory epithelium (pseudostratified columnar epithelium with cilia and goblet cells) and have irregular or C-shaped cartilage surrounding them.camera Nikon D70, original resolution: 300dpi, 3008x2000pxls at 100x magnification
