After acute mild insult the nonciliated cells proliferate and the epithelium regenerates to normal. In the airways, nonciliated basal cells are the main proliferating population. In the bronchioles, the Clara cell is the main precursor cell for regeneration. Because of the delicate nature of the respiratory tract epithelium and the close proximity of subepithelial blood vessels, an inflammatory response occurs to all but the mildest form of injury. Many lesions are therefore diagnosed as rhinitis, tracheitis, and bronchiolitis and qualified as acute, subacute, and chronic depending on the stage of the response.
