1 Describe the changes in the type of epithelium throughout the respiratory system. 2  Explain how the structure of different segments of the respiratory airways reflect the functional roles that these airways play in air movement and gas exchange.espiratory bronchioles also have cuboidal epithelia, but contain some alveoli.
