The Cilia is responsible for what in the airway? Clearing and defending the conducting airways
Bronchial glands which are the major source of respiratory tract secretions.
What does the submucosal layer contain? (An increase in bronchial glands = increase in secretion production in the airways)
Mast Cells
When the mast cells are stimulated they excrete Histamine, Leukotrienes
mediators such as?
increase in the number of eosinophils in the blood, occurring in response to some allergens,
