E: Respiratory Flashcards
The respiratory diverticulum appears during week __
4
The respiratory diverticulum appears as an outgrowth of ___
foregut
The respiratory diverticulum is ___ derived
endoderm
Because respiratory diverticulum is endoderm derived, what adult structures are endoderm derived?
inner lining of larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs
The lung bud grows out into the ____
splanchnic mesoderm
Because lung bud grows into splanchnic mesoderm, what adult structures are splanchnic mesoderm derived?
cartilageinous, musculature, connective tissue of trachae and lungs
The lung bud initially has an open communication with ___
foregut
Which direction does the lung bud grow?
caudal
As the lung bud grows caudally, what forms?
tracheoesophageal ridges
Tracheoesophageal ridges separate ____
the lung bud from the foregut
When tracheoesophageal ridges fuse, it becomes ___
tracheoesophageal septum
Tracheoesophageal septum:
dorsal part = ____
ventral part = ___
dorsal part = esophagus
ventral part = laryngotracheal tube (lung bud + trachae)
What is the laryngotrachael tube?
early in development when lung bud and trachea are still together
Tracheoesophageal septum can lead to what 2 main developmental disorders?
- esophageal atresia
2. tracheoesophageal fistula
What is esophageal atresia?
complete septation of the esophagus
blind end sac
food has nowhere to go
What is a tracheoesophageal fistula?
connection between tracheo and esophagus
so food and air are going t o the wrong places
If you have esophageal atresia, do you automatically have tracheoesophageal fistulas?
no
you can have esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistulas
The lung bud maintains communication with pharynx through ___
laryngeal orifice
The lung bud maintains communication with ___ through the laryngeal orifice
pharynx
Describe the shape of the laryngeal orifice
initially is a SAGITTAL SLIT
changes into a T SHAPED opening
Larynx cartilage and musculature is derived from pharyngeal arches ___
4 and 6
