Lung Histology From Bronchi to Alveoli - For Beginners

Can't tell the difference between a tertiary bronchus and a bronchiole? That's covered. Stressing over Type I vs Type II pneumocytes? It's in there too. Can't sleep at night because you're filled with existential dread? At least you won't be worrying about lung histology.

This video gives a comprehensive walk-through of the histology of mammalian lungs from the bronchi right down to the alveolus with clear images and annotations.

You can even follow along with the digital slides on the website: http://downthescope.co.uk/slidedataba...
