Q

what happens in week 2 pre-embryonic phase

A

Implantation occurs in the uterine endometrial layer and placenta begins to develop (this may start by day 6 of 1st week)

Cells that later form the embryo form a bilaminar disc

Sacs, membranes and cord to nourish the human conceptus (baby) start to form

A

trophoblast and inner cell mass

37
Q

what is the genetic info of the trophoblast?

A

same chromosomal make up as the baby/ inner cell mass

38
Q

what does the inner cell mass produce?

A

the baby

39
Q

what is the inner lingin of the uterus

40
Q

A

it has cilia

41
Q

what happens if the cilia gets destroyed?

A

ectopic pregnancy (implantation in the tube, couldnt move out the tube)

42
Q

what do chorions penetrate?

A

endometrium

43
Q

what forms the placenta?

A

chorion

44
Q

what is the decidua

A

endometrium

45
Q

what hormone is secreted by the chorion?

A

hCG

46
Q

what does the inner cell mass flatten to form?

A

epiblast and hypoblast

47
Q

what sits above the epiblast?

A

amniotic cavity

48
Q

what sits below the hypoblast?

A

yolk sac

49
Q

what surrounds the embryo?

A

amniotic cavity

50
Q

what is the main source of nutrition for embryo

A

umbilical cord

51
Q

other than umbillical cord what else is a source of nutrition for an embryo?

A

yolk sac

52
Q

how long does it take for the respiratory system to grow to full length with the lobes?

A

8 weeks

53
Q

describe the steps for the growth of the respiratory system

A

Tubular outgrowth from foregut

This outgrowth will develop into trachea and lung buds

Trachea will separate from oesophagus and lung buds will proliferate.

Proliferating lung buds will invaginate laterally into the pleural cavities, so forming visceral & parietal pleura and the pleural cavity

Meanwhile, a transverse septal “shelf” will begin to develop between thorax and abdomen, below the pleural cavities.

. This shelf is composed of 4 components, which fuse to form the diaphragm

54
Q

what does folding of the embryo give rise to?

A

primitive gut tube

55
Q

what forms the foregut?

A

trachea and lungs

56
Q

where does the gut tube form from?

A

endoderm

57
Q

when is the development of the trachea and lungs?

A

4 weeks

58
Q

where is the development of the trachea and lungs?

A

from ventral wall of foregut

59
Q

where is the laryngotracheal groove

A

ventral part of the foregut

60
Q

what does the diverticulum (endoderm) become invested with to form trachea and lung buds

A

mesoderm

61
Q

where does the oesophagotracheal sputum develop?

A

between the oesophagus and trachea

62
Q

what is a fistula?

A

an abnormal or surgically made passage between a tubular organ and the body surface, or between two hollow or tubular organs

63
Q

what is atresia?

A

= a condition in which an orifice or passage in

the body is (usually abnormally) closed or absent.

64
Q

what are common congenital abnormalities with the trachea and lung?

A

TOF (tracheoesophageal fistula) and astresia

65
Q

what does the layers of visceral and parietal pleura form?

A

pleural cavity

66
Q

what are the layers of visceral and parietal pleura formed from?

A

mesoderm

67
Q

which layer does the lungs need as they develop

A

visceral pleurafrom the splanchnic mesoderm.

68
Q

what does the thoracic wall become lined with? and where is this derived from?

A

parietal pleura, derived from somatic mesoderm.

69
Q

whats the gap between parietal and visceral pleurae called? and what will this eventually become?

A

pleuroperitoneal canals

pleural cavaties

70
Q

where does the pleuropericardial folds form around?

A

primitive heart and it seperates pleural cavities from pericardial cAVITIES

71
Q

What develops into the visceral pleura?

A

the mesoderm which covers the outside of the lung

72
Q

what becomes the parietal pleura?

A

the somatic mesoderm, covering the body wall from the inside

73
Q

what are the stages of lung development

A
embryonic
pseudo glandular
canalicular
saccular
alveolar
74
Q

what happens in the pseudoglandular stage?

A

Setup of all pulmonary structures except elements needed for gas exchange

75
Q

what happens in the canalicular stage?

A

The terminal bronchioles give rise to tubes that make up respiratory part of the lung. Differentiation of epithelium into Type II pneumocytes which will synthesize the surfactant, and flat cells - Type I pneumocytes.

76
Q

what happpens in the saccular stage

A

Formation of alveolar sacs. The alveolar sacs will be progressively divided into smaller subunits leading to the formation of alveoli.

77
Q

what happens in the alveolar stage?

A

formation of the alveoli terminal sacs
