What is the Latin word for eyelash and why is this relevant to the histology of the lung? To find out you need to watch this video podcast of the histology of the lung with Susan Anderson. As well as a refresher in Latin, also covered are structure of the airways, changes in the mucous membrane cell types, alveoli, surfactant, bronchodilators and why you hear crackles when you listen to the chest of someone with fibrosing alveolitis.
Dr Susan Anderson is Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of Nottingham, UK
