embryology Flashcards
outline the stages of respiratory developement
embryonic pseudglandular canalicular saccular alveolar
when is embryonic
26 days - 6 weeks
embryonic
Respiratory diverticulum forms. Initial branching to give lungs., lobes and segments.
what is Respiratory diverticulum
structure that develops on the anterior foregut and is the first respiratory structure to develop
when is Pseudoglandular
6-16weeks
Pseudoglandular
14 more generations of branching to give terminal bronchioles
when is canalicular
16-28 weeks
canalicular
Sees the branching of terminal bronchioles into respiratory bronchioles and finally alveolar ducts.
what are bronchial buds
structure that is seen to develop by 28 days gestation, found inf to the trachea
saccular time
28-36 weeks gestation
saccular
terminal sacs form, capillaries come into close contact with the alveoli ready for gas exchange
when is alveolar
between 36 weeks gestation and early childhood
alveolar
further maturation of the alveoli
endoderm
the erm layer that forms the lining of the trachea and the bronchial tree
visceral mesoderm
germ layer that forms the cartilage and SM in the thorax
