| Description: | This is a slightly lager picture of the intrapulmonary bronchus. Notice
the mucous film in the lumen. This is part of the mucociliary clearance
system which traps dirt particles and germs, and clear them out of the
system. Although submucosal glands are present, they are hard to make
out at this magnification. Note the prominent muscularis mucosae and
the cartilage islands. PK1570. Original mag. 16x. H&E.
