Baby Respi Flashcards
Phase:
main feature Development of Proximal Airways
Embryonic
Duration of Embryonic Phase
End of 3rd week to 5th week
Lung Bud arises at the level of what pharyngeal pouch
4th
In embryonic phase: Increase in what kind of acid in adjacent mesoderm
Retinoic Acid
TBX4
induces formation, growth and differentiation of lungs and trachea
In the Embryonic Phase what maintains communication with pharynx via laryngeal orifice?
In adults?
Respiratory primordium
in adults: laryngeal opening
Main feature of PSEUDOGLANDULAR PHASE
Development of Lower Conducting Airways and Vascular Supply
Duration of Pseudoglandular phase
5th week to 16th week
What stage of Respiratory Development:
Epithelial differentiation of airways, penetration into coelomic cavity
bronchial buds form main bronchi and then secondary bronchi
cartilagionus and muscular components of trachea and bronchi from splanchic mesoderm (visceral pleura)
PSEUDOGLANDULAR PHASE
Fibroblast Growth Factor Family FGFF
Branching continues to form terminal bronchioles
Main Feature of CANALICULAR PHASE
Formation of Gas Exchange Units
3 major events of CANALICULAR PHASE
Birth of acinus, epithelial differentiation and beginning of surfactant synthesis by type II pneumocytes/ alveolar cells
Duration of CANALICULAR PHASE
17th to 24th week
Main Feature of SACCULAR PHASE
Initiation of Alveolarization
Duration of Saccular phase
24th to 37th week
