12. Embryology and Lung Growth (HARC) Flashcards
3 main points in Lung Development
- formation of LUNG BUD
- lung MATURATION and production of SURFACTANT
- RESPIRATORY CHANGES at BIRTH
FOLDING of the EMBRYO 2 types:
Tall Folding : head and tail fold in
LATERAL FOLDING - RIGHT and LEFT
what is LATERAL FOLDING of an Embryo
Lateral ends of ECTODERM GROWS in and PINCHES OFF YOLK SAC
2 ends/folds FUSE
what forms from LATERAL FOLDING
LARGER AMNIOTIC CAVITY
INTRAEMBRYONIC COELOM (Cavity)
lined by mesoderm inside
- both together called SOMATOPLEURA (before fusion)
upon FUSION of lateral folds:
INTRAEMBRYONIC COELUM
lined with SOMATIC MESODERM
from Yolk Sac -> EMBRYONIC GUT TUBE
lined with SPLANCHNIC MESODERM
(inside intraembryonic coelom)
in EMBRYO what is the INTRAEMBRYONIC COELUM LINED with
SOMATIC MESODERM
in EMBRYO what does the YOLK SAC become after LATERAL FOLDING
Embryonic GUT TUBE
what is the Embryonic GUT TUBE LINED with
SPLANCHNIC MESODERM
Embryonic GUT TUBE is from which Germ layer
ENDODERM
(lined with mesoderm - splanchnic)
below the Embryonic Gut Tube the PRIMORDIAL PHALYNX (splanchnic mesoderm) has a growth coming out of it called..
LARYNGOTRACHEAL DIVERTICULUM
Opening where the LARYNGOTRACHEAL DIVERTICULUM grows out of the PRIMORDIAL PHALYNX
LARYNGOTRACHEAL OPENING
as LARYNGOTRACHEAL DIVERTICULUM grows out of the PRIMORDIAL PHALYNX what do we get
TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FOLD
what germ layer is the laryngotracheal diverticulum
ENDODERM
lined with MESODERM (SPLANCHNIC)
Laryngotracheal Diverticulum becomes the..
RESPIRATORY BUD
Pinching off of the RESPIRATORY BUD from the Primordial Phalynx/ Gut Tube gives the..
TRACHEOSOPHAGEAL SEPTUM
RESPIRATORY BUD becomes… as it starts to divide
PRIMARY BRONCHIAL BUDS
makes the remaining the LARYNGOTRACHEAL TUBE
as the PRIMARY BRONCHIAL BUDS and the LARYNGOTRACHEAL TUBE form what do we get
OESOPHAGUS SEPARATED from the TRACHEA
what are the PERICARDIOPERITONEAL CANALS
OPENINGS POSTERIORLY between the primitive Pericardial and Peritoneal Cavities
- gives rise to Pleural Cavity
- name of the space that the bronchial buds grow into
- gaps left by septum transversum (early diaphragm)
what is the name for the EARLY DIAPHRAGM
SEPTUM TRANSVERSUM
- Grows out of the sidewall and POSTERIORLY to form sheet which meets the GUT TUBE
- leaves gaps on either side: Pericardioperitoneal Canals
what do the PLEURA SECRETE
FLUID
- creates SURFACE TENSION so lung sticks to thoracic wall
- LUBRIACTES and prevents friction as lungs move
where is the PARIETAL PLEURA
Layer coating the THORACIC WALL
where is the VISCERAL PLEURA
Layer coating the LUNG
PLEURAL CAVITY (between parietal and visceral pleura) derived from
PERIOCARDIOPERITONEAL CANALS
what is the PARIETAL PLEURA DERIVED FROM
SOMATIC MESODERM
what is the VISCERAL PLEURA DERIVED from
SPLANCHNIC MESODERM
TRACHEOBRONCHIAL TREE
starting from Main/Primary BRONCHUS
- SECONDARY bronchus (left:2, right:3)
- TERTIARY bronchus (each BP segment) (divides into 7)
- TERMINAL bronchus (last area of cartilage)
- BRONCHIOLES (smooth muscle instead)
- TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES (last area of NO gas exchange)
- RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLES (thin so gas exchange can occur)
- ALVEOLAR DUCT
- ALVEOLAR SAC
Pathway from BRONCHIOLES
- TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES
- RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLES
- ALVEOLAR DUCT
- ALVEOLAR SAC
how is CARTILAGE in the BRONCHUS
PLATES of CARTILAGE
(rings divided and become plates)
- STRENGTHEN and keep wall OPEN
after TERMINAL BRONCHUS CARTILAGE is replaced with
SMOOTH MUSCLE (in BRONCHIOLES)
at which point can GAS EXCHANGE START
RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLES (thin)
how is SURFACE TENSION CREATED in lungs
H2O MOLECULES ATTRACTED to EACH OTHER
- molecules in FLUID more attracted to each other than in gas
ALVEOLAR INNER SURFACE must be coated in (tissue) FLUID so O2 DISSOLVES and passes
- allows FASTER DIFFUSION (gas exchange)
as exhale alveolar become closer together so fluid attract to each other and can cause Alveoli to COLLAPSE
what sort of MOLECULE is SURFACTANT
PHOSPHOLIPID
how does SURFACTANT REDUCE SURFACE TENSION
PHOSPHOLIPID - Hydrophobic tail and HYDROPHILIC (POLAR) HEAD
- attracts to H2O
INTERSPERSE BETWEEN H2O MOLECULES (so can’t stick together)
- BREAK UP SURFACE TENSION
