Isolation of Basal Cells and Submucosal Gland Duct Cells from Mouse Trachea
Published on: September 14, 2012
Abstract:
Two cases of primary carcinoma of the trachea are described. Both patients were female and had smoked cigarettes for many years. One of the tumours was a squamous cell carcinoma and the other an oat cell carcinoma, the commonest and the rarest forms of tracheal cancer respectively. The diagnosis in the case of oat cell carcinoma was confirmed by electron-microscopic demonstration of neurosecretory granules, a unique observation at this site. Oat cell carcinoma of the trachea does not appear to have been recorded previously in a female.

The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...

The Larynx
It is located between the pharynx and the trachea, acts as a passageway for air, and hosts several critical structures, such as the epiglottis, vocal cords, and glottis. The epiglottis acts as a gateway, guiding food to the...
