Cardiopulmonary Development Flashcards
where is the laryngotracheal groove located?
caudal to 4th pair of pharyngeal pouches
the endoderm is the embryonic origin of what structures?
epithelium, glands of larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs
the splanchnic mesoderm is the embryonic origin of what structures?
connective tissue, cartilage, smooth muscle
what forms from the respiratory diverticulum?
lung bud
when does the respiratory diverticulum appear?
end of 4th week
what does the visceral pleura develop from?
splanchnic mesenchyme
what does the parietal pleura develop from?
somatic mesoderm
what do the primary bronchial buds grow laterally into?
pericardioperitoneal canals
what do the primary bronchial buds differentiate into? with what embryonic layer?
bronchi
splanchnic mesenchyme
primary bronchial buds are the primordium (origin) of what structure in the tracheobronchial tree?
main bronchus
when is the pseudoglandular period?
6-16 wks
what are defining characteristics of the pseudoglandular period?
resembles exocrine gland, no gas exchange
when is the canalicular period?
16-26 wks
what are defining characteristics of the canalicular period?
lumina of bronchi and bronchioles form, formation of alveolar ducts and terminal saccules, well-vascularized, some gas exchange possible
when is the terminal saccular period?
26 wks - birth
what are defining characteristics of the terminal saccular period?
more terminal saccules develop, thin alveolar walls, surfactant is secreted
when is the alveolar period?
32 wks - 8 yrs
what are defining characteristics of the alveolar period?
most of alveoli develop (95% postnatally), tremendous increase in alveoli and capillaries
heart and vessels are derived from what embryonic structures?
splanchnic mesoderm, paraxial and lateral mesoderm, neural crest
what forms from the cardiogenic mesoderm?
angioblastic cords, heart tubes
the umbilical arteries will later become parts of which arteries?
internal iliac artery, superior vesical artery
what is the function of the umbilical artery?
carry deoxygenated blood to placenta
the vitelline arteries will later become which arteries?
celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery
the dorsal intersegmental arteries will later become which arteries?
vertebral arteries, intercostal arteries, lumbar arteries, common iliac arteries, lateral sacral arteries
where does the heart and great vessels develop from in the embryo?
aortic sac
what are the first recognizable vessels in an embryo? what do they form?
paired dorsal aortae
single dorsal aorta
where does the heart begin to develop?
cardiogenic area
what are the angioblastic cords? how do they form? where are they?
endocardial heart tubes
fuse with lateral folding
superior to endocardium
what layer of the embryonic heart is separated from the heart tube by cardiac ‘jelly’? what does this become in the adult heart?
primordial myocardium
myocardium
what is the external surface of the sinus venosus?
epicardium
elongation/bending of the heart tube leads to what structure that connects the ventricles to the aortic sac and aortic arches?
truncus arteriosus
