Q

difference b/w left and right bronchial bud

A

left: smaller, grows more laterally, gives rise to 2 secondary buds
right: grows more vertically, gives rise to 2 secondary buds (one of which will subdivide into 2 additional buds)

Q

Laryngotracheal tube is the primordium of

A

the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and the lungs

23
Q

internal lining of laryngotracheal tube

origin
gives rise to

A

origin: endodermal origin

gives rise to: epithelium glands of the larynx and trachea

24
Q

all laryngeal muscles are innervated by

A

branches of cranial nerve X (vagus)

25
Q

splanchnic mesoderm covering outside lung surface becomes

A

visceral pleura

26
Q

somatic mesoderm lining internal body wall becomes

A

parietal pleura

27
Q

Highlights of the Pseudoglandular Period

A
  • lung development does not have essential components for gas exchange
  • lung development resembles exocrine gland structure
  • fetuses born will not survive

weeks 5-18

28
Q

Canalicular period

A

-weeks 17-25
canalization occurs: enlargement of the respiratory bronchioles and terminal sacs

increased vascularity

29
Q

Terminal Sac Period

A

development of many terminal sacs & thinning of their epithelium

epithelium of terminal sacs differentiate into type I and type II (surfactant type) alveolar cells

30
Q

By which period (in terms of lung development) will babies born most likely survive? Why?

A

terminal sac period

increased pulmonary vascularity and surfactant production

31
Q

What are the periods of lung maturation?

A

pseudoglandular period
canalicular period
terminal sac period
alveolar period

32
Q

When does surfactant production begin?

A

20th week

33
Q

Week 25 critical points

A

blood supply and alveolar surface are adequate for respiration

34
Q

Week 26 to 30 critical point

A

enough surfactant for respiration to occur

35
Q

What is the most common anomaly of the larynx

A

vocal cord paralysis

36
Q

tracheoesophageal fistula

A

most common malformation in the lower respiratory tract

associated w/ esophageal atresia

37
Q

tracheal stenosis

A

constriction of trachea

38
Q

tracheal agenesis

A

primary bronchi develop from the esophagus

39
Q

Unilateral pulmonary agenesis

A

lung buds fail to develop on one side

40
Q

unilateral hypoplasia

A

compresses developing lungs w/ herniated abdominal viscera

41
Q

accessory lung

A

located at the base of the left lung

receives blood from systemic circulation rather than pulmonary circulation

42
Q

type II alveolar cells

form
f(x)

A

cuboid in shape

secrete surfactant

43
Q

type I alveolar cells

form
f(x)

A

form: simple squamous, most abundant

f(x): gas exchange b/w blood

44
Q

tracheoesophageal septum (ridge)

A

divides the cephalic portion of the foregut into ventral (trachea & lung buds) and dorsal (esophagus)

45
Q

What is the signaling pathway that is activated during branching differentiation?

A

epithelium to mesenchymal transition (EMT)

46
Q

Tracheoesophageal fistula may be associated w/ other congenital anomalies called the

A

VACTREL

47
Q

VACTREL

A
  1. vertebral defect
  2. anal atresia
  3. cardiac anomalies
  4. tracheoesophageal fistula
  5. renal anomalies
  6. esophageal atresia
    limb deformities
48
Q

alveolar period

time frame

A

time: late fetal to early childhood

maximum alveolar production 2 weeks before birth

49
Q

Hyaline Membrane Disease aka

A

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)

50
Q

Hyaline Membrane Disease (RDS)

A

insufficient surfactant resulting in high membrane tension & collapse of alveoli

51
Q

hyaline membrane disease (RDS) onset is usually

A

less than 2-5 hours after birth

52
Q

Clinical findings of hyaline membrane disease (RDS)

A
  • abnormal retraction of chest wall
  • cyanosis
  • expiratory grunting
  • increased respiratory rate
53
Q

How to combat hyaline membrane disease (RDS)

A

corticosteriods and thyroixn (stimulators of surfactant)

maternal glucocorticoid treatment during pregnancy (accelerates fetal lung development and surfactant production )
