Heart/Lung Development Flashcards
lining of the respiratory system is derived from which embryological tissue
endoderm
all respiratory tissue other than the lining is derived from which embryological tissue
mesoderm
expression of what gene in the foregut directs the positioning of the lung bud on the esophagus (position of the respiratory diverticulum
Tbx4
the lung bud begins as an outgrowth of the foregut into surrounding splanchnic mesoderm. what does the foregut become in a developed fetus?
esophagus
what structure separates the esophagus from the trachea
tracheoesophageal septum
what structure dictates entry to the digestive versus the respiratory system
epiglottis
improper formation of the tracheoesophageal septum between trachea and esophagus leads to what clinical abnormality
tracheoesophageal fistula
the diverticulum forming the lung bud arises on the ___ side of the foregut during development
ventral
a(n) ____ is an abnormal opening between two structures whereas a(n) ___ is an abnormal closing between structures
fistula, atresia
high volume of amniotic fluid is called _____ and could mean the fetus has CNS problems or what gastrointestinal abnormality
polyhydramnios, esophageal atresia
there are the same number of secondary bronchi as there are ____ in the lungs
lobes
the embryological ________ differentiates into smooth muscle, nerves, and blood vessels of the lungs
splanchnic mesoderm
infants in what stage of development (wk 17-26) are capable of surviving outside the womb because lung formation is nearly complete
canalicular
what are the stages in lung development
embryonic, pseudo-glandular ,canalicular* terminal sac ,postnatal
stage of lung development where initial formation of respiratory diverticulum occurs and lasts until all bronchopulmonary segments have formed (differentiation of the pleura)
embryonic stage
stage of lung development where duct systems within bronchopulmonary segments form and grow (still no gas exchange)
pseudo-glandular stage
Most essential stage of lung development where we get formation of respiratory bronchioles and terminal sacs/ primitive alveoli. vascularization increases
canalicular stage
epithelium lining alveoli develop into what type of specialized cell that form part of blood-air barrier
type I pneumocytes
epithelium lining alveoli develop into what type of specialized cell that secrete surfactant
type II pneumocytes
stage of lung development where 90% of alveoli have formed and septation of those alveoli occurs
postnatal phase (alveolar)
issues in lung development that result in labored breathing, deficient surfactant, incomplete expansion or collapse of lung
infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS)
complete absence of lungs, bronchi, and corresponding vasculature (can be uni- or bilateral)
pulmonary agenesis
poorly developed bronchial tree (possibly due to hole in the diaphragm)
pulmonary hypoplasia
