MD3001 Week 8 Flashcards
what cavity forms b/w somatic and splanchnic mesoderm
intra-embryonic body cavity forms between these two membranes
what does 1st pharyngeal groove become?
this develops into external auditory meatus
what two indents form the pharyngeal arches and where do they derive from?
- pharyngeal grooves/clefts (ectoderm)
2. pharyngeal pouches (endoderm)
where does thyroid gland develop from?
this structure develops from the root of the tongue
how does respiratory diverticulum develop?
this structure grows from laryngotracheal groove in pharynx in early 4th week - epithelium derived from endoderm, cartilage/vasculature/muscles from mesoderm
what separate lung bud from gut tube?
trachea-oesophageal septum
when and how do bronchi develop?
they develop from respiratory diverticulum in week 5
4 stages of lung development
- pseudo glandular
- canalicular
- terminal saccular
- alveolar
describe pseudo glandular stage of lung development
stage of lung development at 6-16 weeks where elements up to terminal bronchioles have formed
describe canalicular stage of lung development
stage of lung development at 16-26/28 weeks where terminal bronchioles have 2-3 respiratory bronchioles, which branch into 3-6 alveolar ducts
describe terminal saccular stage of lung development
stage of lung development at 24/26-36 weeks where thin walled sacs lined by squamous epithelial cells (type 1 pneumocytes) become well vascularized and from 20 weeks) type 2 pneumocytes secrete surfactant
what week can 1000g baby survive?
baby at 28 weeks development is this heavy and can survive
how many alveoli does one have?
300 million
3 necessities for baby survival
- alveoli
- capillary bed
- surfactant
respiratory distress syndrome
insufficient surfactant resulting in collapse of alveolar wall during expiration in newborns
4 sources of origin of diaphragm
- septum transversum
- pleuroperitoneal membranes
- mesentery of oesophagus
- ingrowth from body wall
congenital diaphragmatic hernia
absence of pleuroperitoneal membrane, allowing GI to herniate into thorax
where are the dorsal and ventral respiratory groups located?
these respiratory centres are in medulla oblongata
pontine centres (2)
- pneumotaxic centre
2. apneustic centre
outline neural pathway for breathing
impulses from thoracic region/lungs/chemoreceptors to DRG via vagus/glossopharyngeal nerves -> leave brain in anterior lateral column -> terminate in motor neurone
Hering-Breuer Reflex
slowing adapting stretch receptors in smooth muscle of upper airways that send inhibitory impulses to DRG via vagus when lung is inflated
J receptors/pulmonary C-fibres
juxtacapillary receptors in wall of alveoli that induce apnea followed by rapid shallow breathing
irritant receptors
rapidly adapting receptors on walls of bronchi/bronchioles that sense harmful chemicals
cough reflex
senses irritations of respiratory tract beyond nose (ex. larynx, trachea, bronchi)
sneeze reflex
senses irritation of nasal mucous membrane
