Development of Respiratory System Flashcards
What develops in the ectoderm?
Neural groove
What are the tips of the neural groove called?
Neural crest
What happens when the neural groove is developing?
The lateral plate mesoderm will divide into the parietal and visceral mesoderm which becomes the serious membranes
What does the parietal layer form?
Body walls
What does the visceral layer form?
Surround the organs
What does the parietal layer do in relation to the ectoderm?
Starts to merge
What two things occur when the parietal layer merges with the ectoderm?
Primitive yolk sac becomes pinched and this will develop into the digestive tract. The visceral layer of the lateral plate mesoderm will envelope the future gut tube
The leading edge of the ectoderm and the parietal layer of the lateral plate mesoderm will move antero-medially
What does the eventual connection between the gut tube and secondary yolk form?
Vitelline duct
What structures are present once the parietal layer fully fuses with the lateral plate mesoderm?
A cavity (coelom) which will become the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavity
A body wall made out of a surface ectoderm and parietal layer of lateral plate mesoderm deep to it
The gut tube, suspended by visceral layer of lateral plate mesoderm
Pericardio-peritoneal canals
Lecture
What happens when the embryo is about 4 weeks old?
In the cervical portion of the gut tube, in the ventral midline, the respiratory diverticulum starts to appear
The respiratory diverticulum expands ventrally and towards the chest, in front of the gut tube
Tracheo-oesophageal ridged grow towards each other and separate the RD from the gut tube
The diverticulum bifurcates into two branches
Terminal ends of these dilations are called lung buds
When do the pharyngeal arches begin to develop?
Week 4-5
What separates the pharyngeal arches?
Pharyngeal clefts
How many pharyngeal arches are there?
5
What does each pharyngeal arch have?
Cartilaginous element
An aortic arch
Cranial nerve
Where is the gut tube and RD still connected?
Laryngeal orifice
What will the upper end of the respiratory diverticulum form?
Larynx
What does the middle section of respiratory diverticulum form?
Trachea
