1.Tunica mucosa:a, epithelium mucosae: ciliated pseudostratified columnar

epithelium, goblet cells, endocrine cellsb, lamina propria: loose connective tissue,

lymphocytes, plasma cells

2. Tunica submucosa: loose connective tissuetracheal glands sero-mucous glands

3. Tunica fibro-musculo-cartilaginea: hyaline cartilage ringsannular ligg.paries membranaceus(trachealis muscle, connective tisue)

Find the characteristic items of thetracheal wall.

1. T. mucosa: - ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium- epithelium gradually decreases in its height,lamina propria becomes thinner towards theterminal bronchioli

2. T. muscularis: smooth muscle layer in the larger bronchiis replaced by spirally arrenged smoothmuscle cells in the smaller bronchi

3. Cartilage plates: decrease gradually in number and size

4. Adventitia: collagen fibers.

In the wall of the bronchi small salivary glands can be found.
