This functional tissue unit (FTU) illustration includes cell types related to the bronchial submucosal gland FTU in the ASCT+B Table Lung v1.2. Multiple histology atlases, especially Netter’s Essential Histology with Correlated Histopathology (Ovalle and Nahirney 2021), Junqueira’s Basic Histology Text & Atlas (Mescher 2021), Human Microscopic Anatomy (Krstić 1994), and Histology: A Text and Atlas (Wojciech Pawlina and Michael H. Ross 2019) were referenced. Measurements were taken from (Ostedgaard et al. 2020). Uberon describes this FTU as follows: "A submucosal gland located in a bronchus."
