endoderm of the cranial end of the laryngotracheal tube.

p.131

107
Q

What is SCAPHOCEPHALY? What characterizes is?

A

Premature closing of SAGITTAL SUTURE.

Characterized by a long, narrow head.

108
Q

A

28 DAY EMBRYO

109
Q

From which arches does the laryngeal and tracheal cartilage arise?

A

Mesoderm (from arches 4 and 6)

110
Q

_______ begins swelling to form the respiratory bud.

A

Laryngotracheal diverticulum

111
Q

R bronchus branches into _____ 2˚ bronchi, L branches into _____.

A

R bronchus branches into THREE 2˚ bronchi, L branches into TWO.

112
Q

When is the Pseudoglandular stage? What do the lungs resemble at this point? Can the fetus be born?

A

weeks 6-16: Resemble exocrine glands because all elements present EXCEPT THOSE FOR GAS EXCHANGE.
○ Respiration is NOT POSSIBLE.
○ Fetus non-viable at this point because it is not capable of self-respiration.

113
Q

When is the earliest a fetus is viable? What is this stage called and defined by (2)?

A
Canalicular stage (weeks 16-26): Lumen of bronchi and bronchioles enlarge. Tissue becomes vascularized.
○ Respiration possible by the end of this period.
114
Q

A

24 WEEKS

115
Q

What are the survival rates from 24-26 weeks?

A

○ Survival rates 39-80% —> 24 Weeks
○ 50-60% by week 25
○ ≈ 80% by week 26

116
Q

What determines respiratory viablility in the developing fetus?

A

Respiratory Viability: Prior to 24 weeks, not enough alveolar SA for gas exchange.
• Inadequate vascularization.
-Inadequate surfactant production.

117
Q

What is atelectasis? What are the consequences?Treatment?

A

Lack of SURFACTANT leads to ATELECTASIS.

  • Collapse of saccules during exhalation.
  • Improving survival of premature infants – Antenatal corticosteroids stimulates surfactant production.
  • Also, surfactant replacement therapy.
118
Q

When does the transition from the placental dependence to gas exchange occur? What is this period called? Give two characteristics.

A
Alveolar Stage (weeks 32 – 8 years): Formation of alveolus, thinning of pulmonary epithelium (type 1 pneumocytes), establishment of blood-air-barrier. 
*Transition from placental dependence to GAS EXCHANGE*
119
Q

What is the cause of a trachealesophageal fistula (TEF) and when does it occur?
Symptoms (3)?

A

TEF: an abnormal passage between the trachea and the esophagus. R
-Results from incomplete division of the cranial part of the foregut into respiratory and esophageal parts during the FOURTH WEEK.
The usual anomaly is a BLIND ENDING of the superior part of the esophagus (esophageal atresia)
Most common anomaly in lower respiratory tract
Symptoms: Excess fluid in mouth, milk regurgitation (atresia), aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis.

A

Polyhydramnios, lack of air in fetal stomach, low fetal weight.

121
Q

What is oligohydramnios? Why is this bad?

A

Low amniotic fluid volume –because it restricts fetal thorax size, and the fluid helps fetus work out lungs prior to birth.
