Snippet: • Lymphatics extend from respiratory bronchioles tracking back to the hilus of the lung in bronchovascular bundles and are present in the interlobular septa following venules back to the hilus; no lymphatics surround alveoli • Collectively, the cross-sectional area of the bronchioles is larger than the proximal airways; although they provide little resistance to airflow in the normal lung, even mild disease of the small airways can have sever.....
Document: • Lymphatics extend from respiratory bronchioles tracking back to the hilus of the lung in bronchovascular bundles and are present in the interlobular septa following venules back to the hilus; no lymphatics surround alveoli • Collectively, the cross-sectional area of the bronchioles is larger than the proximal airways; although they provide little resistance to airflow in the normal lung, even mild disease of the small airways can have severe detrimental effects on lung function 8, 9 In cats, there is a lack of a structure analogous to the secondary pulmonary lobule seen in humans. This has important implications in use of the same CT descriptors and between-species comparative studies.
