Pulm Flashcards
when and from where does lung development come from
distal end of respiratory diverticulum during week 4
errors in which stage of development can lead to tracheoesophageal fistula
embryonic stage (week 4-7) this is because trachea, mainstem bronchi, and lobar/segmental bronchi develop
when do terminal bronchioles develop
pseudoglandular (week 5-17)
when is respiration capable
25 weeks
when do alveolar ducts and prominent capillary network develop
cannalicular (week 16-25)
What stage do pneumocytes and SURFACTANT start
saccular (week 26-birth)…mature levels of surfactant not there until 36 weeks
how long does it take for all adult alveoli to develop
8 years (300-400 million alveoli)
congenital diaphragmatic hernia and bilateral renal agenesis assocaited with…
pulmonary hypoplasia
recurent respiratory infections, airway compression, discrete round sharply defined fluid filled densities on CXR
bronchogenic cysts (abnormal budding of foregut and dilation of terminal/large bronchi
purpose of club cells
secrete component of surfactantm degrade toxins, act as reserve cells
what type of pneumocytes make up 97% of alveolar surface
type I, thin and optimal for gas diffusion
components of surfactant
mix of lecithins (most important one is dipalmitoylphsphatidylcholine - DPPC)
formula for collapsing pressure
(2 x surface tension)/radius
so decrease collapsing pressureby decreasing surface tension
alveoli more likely to collapse during EXPIRATION
these cells secrete surfactant from lamellar bodies, are cuboidal and clustered and are precursors to type I and type II cells
type II pneumocytes
how does surfactant affect lung recoil and compliance
decrease recoil, increase compliance
which cells proliferate during lung damage
type II pneumocytes
prenatal screening has decreased Lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio in amniotic fluid (<1.5)…risk for….
neontal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) (surfactant deficiency leading to increasd surface tension and alveolar collapse)
what cardiac complication is NRDS prone to
PDA (due to persistantly low O2 tension)
gi complication of NRDS
NEC
risk of giving O2 in NRDS
RIB
retinopathy of prematurity, intraventricular hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary displasia
components of large airways
nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi
components of small airways
bronchioles and terminal bronchioles (least airway resistance here due to largely parallel orientaiton)
large and small airways are called “anatomic dead space” why?
do not participate in gas exchange
cellular make up of conducting zone
cartilage and goblet cells extend to end of bronchi
psuedostratified clilated columnar in bronchus which transition to cuboidal as you leave terminal bronchioles
where to airway smooth muscle cells extend
until the end of terminal bronchioles
What makes up the respiratory zone
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveoli (all participate in gas exchange)
Cellular make up of respiratory zone
mostly cuboidal in respiratory bronchioles then transition into simple squamous cells in alveoli
where to cilia terminate
repistoary bronchioles
where to cartilage and goblet cells extend to
end of bronchi
what cell type is found in brochioles, terminal bronchioles, and respitaory bronchioles
club cells! “clara cells”
which lung has the lingula
left lobe
