Q

Example of how defects in aorticopulmonary septation results in ventricular septal defects underlying one or both great vessels

A

Tetralogy Fallot

26
Q

Describe the 4 defects from Tetralogy Fallot

A

(OVEN). Overriding aorta, Ventricular spetal defect, Pulmonary stenosis (narrow right ventricular outflow tract), Right ventricular hypertrophy (due to higher pressures on the right side of the heart)

27
Q

What do the aortic arches arise from

A

aortic sac

28
Q

Right and Left aortic arch IV

A

Right: Right subclavian a.
Left: Arch of aorta

29
Q

Connection between the recurrent laryngeal branches and aortic arch IV

A

The recurrent branches recur around aortic arch IV

30
Q

Aortic Arch VI

A

Right and left pulmonary arteries and ductus arteriosum on the left side

31
Q

Structures in the respiratory tract that derive from endoderm?

A

Epithelial linings of

  • larynx
  • trachea
  • bronchi
  • bronchioles
  • terminal alveoli
32
Q

what structures in the respiratory tract derive from splanchnic mesoderm?

A

The cartilage, muscle, and CT components of:

  • trachea
  • lungs
  • pulmonary blood vessels
33
Q

Where is there open communication between the respiratory divritiulum and forget in the embryo

A

Trachea (respiratory divriticulum) and the esophagus (forgut)

34
Q

Which is located more anterior the esophagus or trachea

A

trachea

35
Q

Tracheoesophageal fistula

A

esophagus ends in a blind pouch (baby throws up food)

36
Q

What does the main stem of the lung bud (respiratory divriticulum) form

A

trachea

37
Q

Where do the bronchial buds come from?

A

lateral outpocketings of the lung buds

38
Q

What do the bronchial buds form

A

mainstem (or primary) bronchi

39
Q

How many secondary bronchus are formed by the right mainstream bronchi? left?

A

Right: 3 (one per lobe)
Left: 2 (one per lobe)

40
Q

Type II pneumocyte

A

type of cells derived from endoderm in the alveolar ducts and alveoli. Produces surfactant

41
Q

What is the role of surfactant

A

prevents lungs from collapsing during expiration

42
Q

Respirtory Distress Syndrome (RDS)

A

happens in some premature infants due to inadequate levels of surfactant in lung airways

43
Q

A
  • Septum transverum

- Pleuroperitoneal membranes

44
Q

What structures of the diaphragm derived from myoblasts

Q

What structures of the diaphragm derived from mesenchyme surrounding the forgut

A

dorsal mesentery of esophagus

46
Q

What did the crura of the diaphragm arise from

A

dorsal mesentery of esophagus

47
Q

A

Trachea, bronchi, alveoli, alveolar ducts

48
Q

How does splanchnic mesoderm contribute to the formation of the lungs

A

All cartilage, muscle, and CT in the trachea and lungs developed from splanchnic mesoderm

49
Q

How can the esophageotrachea fistula form

A

An abnormal separation between the trachea and the esophagus uses the esophagus to end in a “blind pouch”

Where are defects in the diaphragm normally found and why?

A

In the pleuroperitoneal folds because the pleura and peritoneum fail to fuse
