Lung Slide 130

Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained microscopic view. The image shows a cross-section of primary bronchus with a central, irregular lumen. The lumen is surrounded by a layer of epithelial cells, followed by a layer of hyaline cartilage. Lung tissue with alveolar air sacs is at the periphery. The stain colors components purple and pink.

A microscopic image shows the cross-section of a primary bronchus surrounded by lung tissue. The bronchus has a large, empty lumen lined by epithelial cells. Hyaline cartilage rings give structural support. Adjacent lung tissue appears as a network of alveolar sacs. All structures have been stained purple.
