Respiratory System

Question 10 - Single Best Answer

Identify the structure:

E) pulmonary vein

Sorry...
A pulmonary vein would have a simple squamous epithelium (endothelium), a large lumen:smooth muscle ratio, and (possibly) red blood cells in the lumen. Note that a pulmonary vein typically appears by itself in the lung tissue while a pulmonary artery is usually paired with a bronchiole.
