Q

Communication between extraembryonic coelem (chorionic cavity) and intraembryonic coelem

A

This is where the midgut herniates out and grows outside of the intraembryonic coelem. Once the IE coelem is big enough to hold all of the contents, it comes back in during week 10 approximately.

Q

Ventral mesentery

A

Together with dorsal mesentery divides the peritoneal cavity into right and left halves. The ventral mesentery gradually regresses so that peritoneal cavity is a continuous space.

Q

Which side of the diaphragm?

A

The right side closes before the left as the myoblast migrate into pleuroperitoneal membranes. This is likely due to the development of the large right lobe of the liver.

21
Q

Tracheoesophageal septum

A

Formed from tracheoesophageal ridges (folds) that separates the respiratory and GI tract

22
Q

Laryngeal orifice

A

a communication between the pharynx and the respiratory primordium.

23
Q

Embryological derivative of epithelial lining of larynx

A

endoderm of lung bud

24
Q

Laryngeal recanalization

A

Laryngeal ventricles develop and folds of mucous membrane become the vocal cords.

25
Q

What does the epiglottis form from

A

Hypopharyngeal eminence

26
Q

Innervation of the laryngeal muscles

A

Cranial nerve X, Vagus nerve

27
Q

Differentiation of the endodermal lining of the laryngotracheal tube

A

differentiates into the epithelium and glands of the trachea and pulmonary epithelium

28
Q

Secondary bronchial buds

A

3 on the right side and 2 on the left; these go to the lobes of the lung

29
Q

Tertiary Bronchi

A

about 10 on each side, also known as segmental bronchi

30
Q

Branching of bronchioles after tertiary bronchi

A

Bronchopulmonary segments, terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, terminal sacs (primitive alveoli), mature alveoli.

31
Q

Major events in embryonic respiratory development period

A

26 days to 6 weeks, lung bud develops, branching of bronchopulmonary segments, trachea and larynx formed

32
Q

Major events in pseudo glandular period

A

6-16 weeks, Formation of terminal bronchioles. All major elements of lung have formed except those involved in gas exchange

33
Q

Major events in canalicular period

A

16-26 weeks, Terminal bronchiole divides into respiratory bronchioles, respiratory vasculature develops, lung epithelium differentiates into specialized cells, respiration is possible at the end of this period. There is a blood air barrier for gas exchange

34
Q

Major events of saccular period

A

26-36 weeks, Respiratory bronchioles subdivide to produce terminal sac, type Ii pneumocytes secrete pulmonary surfactant, blood-air barrier is finished

35
Q

Alveolar

A

36 weeks +, Alveoli and gas exchange structures mature

36
Q

Which cells produce pulmonary surfactant

A

Type II alveolar cells

37
Q

A

Hydrophobic proteins that play a major role in surface-active properties of surfactant

38
Q

SP-A and SP-D

A

Hydrophilic proteins that are important for host defense, immunomodulation and surfactant clearance and metabolism

39
Q

Esophageal Atresia

A

Blind esophagus

40
Q

Tracheoesophageal Fistula

A

Abnormal connection between tracheal and esophageal lumen, results from failure of tracheoesophageal folds to completely fuse.
