Respiratory tissue refers to specialized cells and structures in the respiratory system that facilitate the exchange of gases, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the air and the bloodstream. Key examples include the alveoli in the lungs, which are thin-walled sacs that maximize surface area for gas exchange, and the epithelial lining of the airways that helps trap and expel foreign particles. This tissue plays a critical role in maintaining proper respiratory function and overall homeostasis in the body.
The epithelial tissue in the respiratory tract is called respiratory epithelium.
The nasopharyngeal lymphatic tissue is the mucosal lymphoid tissue of the respiratory tract.
The type of epithelial tissue that lines much of the respiratory tract is called pseudostratified columnar. This type of tissue also moves substances across its surface.
The respiratory mucosa is primarily made of pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
The main tissue in the respiratory system is the epithelial tissue, which lines the airways and facilitates the exchange of gases in the lungs. This tissue helps to protect the respiratory system from harmful substances and infections while allowing for efficient gas exchange.

The tissue lining your inner nasal passages is made from ectoderm. However, the rest of the respiratory tract lining is made of endoderm.
