*The histology of the bronchi is almost identical to that of the trachea - the lumen of the bronchus is lined by a pseudostratified epithelium, including goblet cells and serous cells.

Beneath the narrow layer of connective tissue under the epithelium lie well-developed spiral bands of smooth muscle.

*The bronchioles have no cartilage rings but have well developed muscular walls to enclose the lumen. The epithelium is reduced to cuboidal, and in the normal animal it contains no mucus secreting glands. There are many lymphoid nodules beneath the epithelial layer.

*Respiratory Bronchioles have few alveoli scattered along the length, at the entrance of which is ''simple squamous'' epithelium, and bronchial smooth muscle bundles.
