developmental aspects of lung disease Flashcards
what are the stages of lung morphogenesis?
embryonic pseudo glandular canalicular saccualr alveolar
does alveolar separation continues during postnatal lung growth?
yes
what stages of lung development is organogenesis?
embryonic and pseudoglandular
what stages of lung development is differentiation?
canalicular
saccular
alveolar
what happens during organogenesis?
formation of major airways
formation of bronchial tree and portions of respiratory parenchyma
birth of acinus
what happens during canalicular?
last generations of the lung periphery formed
epithelial differentiation
air-blood barrier formed
what happens during saccular?
expansion of air spaces
surfactant detectable in amniotic fluid
what happens during alveolar?
secondary seperation
what is the acinus
resspiratory airways and alveoli
when is the trachea and main bronchus formed?
4-7 gestation, embryonic stage
when is the bronchi and bronchioli formed?
5-17 weeks of gestation
pseudoglandular
when is the respiratory airways formed?
16-27 weeks of gestation
canalicular stage
when is the alveoli formed?
28 weeks
sacular alveoli stage
What are 3 embryonic congenital lung diseases?
tracheal, laryngeal stenosis
pulmonary agenesis
tracheo-oesophageal fistula
What is tracheal, laryngeal stenosis
narrowing of the airway
what is pulmonary agenesis
complete absence of the lung parenchyma, bronchus and lung vasculature.
