respiratory epithelium and clara cells

[porcelain258]

respiratory epithelium (pseudostratified ciliated epithelium) and goblet cells r present upto which part in the lungs ?
i think both r present before the terminal bronchioles from where the simple columnar epihelium and clara cells take over
am i right here guys or is it something different

respiratory system before terminal bronchioles(nasopharynx,trachea,primary and secondary bronchii,bronchioles)---pseudostratifiedciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells
terminal bronchioles--simple columnar epithelium with clara cells
respiratory bronchioles--simple columnar epithelium with clara cells
is the above information correct guys?

The only thing I would change is probably just a typo-
Respiratory Bronchioles- Simple cuboidal Epithelium with clara cells
Also I believe that terminal bronchioles can be ciliated(although sparse) and dont forget that when bronchi switch to bronchioles they lose their Hyaline cartilage and begin to gain their support from smooth muscle and elastic fibers only.
