Embryology Flashcards
pleuropericardial membranes
Encloses pericardial cavity as the fibrous pericardium. Separates the pericardio-peritoneal canals from the pericardial cavity. Located superior to developing lungs.
Pleuroperitoneal membranes
separates the pericardio-peritoneal canals from the peritoneal cavity. Located inferior to developing lungs. G
4 parts of the diaphragm
Pleuroperitoneal membrane, dorsal mesentery of esophagus, myoblasts from lateral body wall and septum transversum
What does intraembryonic ceolem originally derive from?
Lateral mesoderm
Somatic mesoderm
Forms the parietal pleura
Splanchnic mesoderm
Forms the visceral pleura
pericardioperitoneal canals
future pleural cavity
Communication between extraembryonic coelem (chorionic cavity) and intraembryonic coelem
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.
Ventral mesentery
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.
Dorsal mesentery
suspends the foregut, hindgut and midgut into the peritoneal cavity from the posterior abdominal wall.
Location of pericardioperitoneal canal relative to foregut and septum transversum
Each canal is lateral to the foregut and dorsal to the septum transversum
What structure is growing into the pericardioperitoneal canals that gives rise to membranous ridges in the lateral wall of each canal?
Lung buds
Growth of pleural cavities creates two layers in the body wall:
Outer layer forms thoracic wall, inner layer forms the pleuropericardial membranes
Which side of the diaphragm?
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.
respiratory (laryngotracheal) diverticulum (lung bud)
A ventral outpouching of endodermal foregut that begins the development of the lungs.
What does the proximal end of the laryngotracheal diverticulum form
larynx and trachea
What does the distal end of the laryngotracheal diverticulum form?
The right and left primary bronchial buds
What is the embryological derivative of the lungs
Composite of endoderm and mesoderm tissues
What are the endodermal portions of the lung?
Epithelial cells of alveoli and mucosal lining of bronchi
What are the mesodermal components of the lung?
muscle and cartilage supporting bronchi, visceral pleura covering the lung
