Morphological functional structure of smooth muscular tissue for hum an bronchi of different generations
Abstract
Human bronchial smooth muscular cells isolated by the alkaline dissociation technique were studied. Morphometric indices of myocytes were specified, in addition the contents of both DNU in nuclei and totai cytoplasma protein were determined using scanning cytospectrophotometer. Subpopulations of small, mid and large leiomyocytes were also distinguished. It was shown that the mid volume of smooth muscular cells in large, mid and small bronchi differ reliably. With the bronchus diameter to decrease, the share of small myocytes increases and the subpopulation of large myocytes decreases in the structure of the muscular tissue population. Small myocytes are the most dynamic component of the cell’s muscular tissue population. Their prevalence is considered relevant to the high adaptation and functional ability of small bronchi.
