How does air travel with inspiration? (Via the nose)
From the nares through the nasel cavity —> nasopharynx —> oropharynx —> glottis —> tracheobronchial tree —> alveoli
From what is the lower airway derived?
Larynhotracheal diverticulum
Where does gas exchange occur?
Alveoli
What is laryngotracheal diverticulum?
An endodermal-derived tissue that sprouts from the ventral walls of the foregut at approximately the fourth week of gestation
What happens between the fourth and seventh week of gestation?
The diverticulum progressively branches:
- to form the left and right lung buds
- left and right main bronchi
- secondary lobar bronchi
- segmental bronchi
What does the lung stroma eventually form?
Pulmonary interstitium
From what is the lung stroma derived?
Splanchinc mesodermal tissue of the ventral foregut
What happens between the seventh and the tenth week of gestation?
- cartilage rings form in the wall of trachea + larger bronchi
- progressively branching of the broncho pulmonary segmental airways
- the pulmonary arteries branch with the bronchi
From what are the pulmonary arteries formed?
Mesodermal embryonic tissue
What happens during the terminal sac period of lung development?
The epithelia at the tips of the segmented bronchi have differentiated from cuboidal to squamous
With what process begins the maturation of lung development in the embryo?
The emergence of lung buds from the ventral foregut
With what process ends the maturation of lung development in the embryo?
With the formation of gas-exchanges alveoli and an integrated capillary network
What happens by the sixth to seventh week of gestation?
The right and left lung buds have become lobulated forming three lobed on the right and two on the left
Of what are the canaliculi composed?
The part of the lung directly involved in respiration and gas exchange
What does oligohydramnios do? (Foetuses)
It reduced the lung growth and impeded the formation of alveolar type I cells relative to type II cells
What develops in the sixth week of gestation?
The main pulmonary artery, arising from the left sixth aortic arch
What does the pulmonary artery follow?
The pulmonary artery follows the branching of the bronchial tree, down to the level of the terminal bronchioles
What does the paired bronchiole and pulmonary artery establish?
A central location in the pulmonary lobule
As what do pulmonary veins develop?
As outgrowths of the cardiac atria
Where do small venues develop?
In the periphery of the pulmonary lobule coalesce
What do small venues receive?
Tributaries from the pleura and the growing tips of the respiratory tree until they join to form in segmental veins
With what do these intersegmental veins merge?
With the main pulmonary veins near the pulmonary hilum
Where does the supraglottic airway begin
Nares and oral cavity
Where does the supraglottic end?
Vocal cords
Upon inspiration, where is air moisturised?
Nasal turbinates
Upon inspiration, where does the air traverse?
Nasopharynx —> oropharynx —> hypopharynx —> vestibule of the larynx —> vocal cords
How does air travel from the mouth?
Oral cavity directly into the oropharynx
What is the nasal cavity?
The nasal cavity is the space between the roof of the mouth and the cranial base, divided vertically in the middle by the nasal septum
