[General morphological characteristic of the glands in trachea and primary bronchi].
The aim of this study was to examine the microanatomical structure of tracheal and bronchial glands in postnatal ontogenesis. The glandular apparatus of these organs was studied in 130 people of both sexes and different age groups (from the newborns to long-livers) using the macro-microscopical and histological methods. The results of these studies indicate that the shape of the glands in trachea and primary bronchi, as well as their numbers and dimensions are subject to great variability. The range between the individual maximal and minimal values of quantitative parameters of glandular structure was smaller in the newborns than in adults.
