Pulmonary Flashcards
what is respiratory tract derived from
endoderm
lung from the ventral bud of the esophagus that arises from the foregut
pulmonary vasculature forms from what branch of the aortic arch
6th
when are pre-acinar arteries development complete
16 weeks
when does intraacinar arteries complete development
8-10 years
vascular wall thickness:total vascular diameter in fetus
> than adults; remains constant in second half of gestation
what enhances alveolarization
vit A
thyroxine
what delays alveolarization
postnatal steroids
supplemental oxygen
nutritional deficiencies
mechanical ventilation
insulin
inflammation
stages and timing of pulmonary development
embryonic (0-5 weeks)
pseudoglandular (5-16 weeks)
canalicular (16-25 weeks)
saccular (25-36 weeks
alveolar (36 +)
what happens in embryonic stage of pulmonary development
lung from ventral bud of esophagus
evidence of 5 lobes
elongation of proximal airway
pulmonary vascular development (6th aortic arch)
what happens in pseudoglandular stage of pulmonary development
- branching up to terminal bronchi
- start making AF
- pneumocyte precursors
- vasculature of arteries and veins
- separation of thoracic and peritoneal cavity (7)
what happens in canalicular stage of pulmonary development
- canaliculi branching
- preliminary gas exchange
- type 2 into type 1 pneumocytes
- lung becomes viable
what happens in saccular stage of pulmonary development
terminal sacs form - last generation of air spaces
gas exchange alveolar-capillary membrane
what happens in alveolar stage of pulmonary development
alveoli increase in diameter
microvascular growth and vessel maturation
disorders of embryonic stage
laryngeal cleft
tracheal stenosis
TEF
bronchogenic cyst
disorders of pseudoglandular stage
abnormal branching
CDH
congenital lobar emphysema
CPAM
pulmonary lymphangiectasia
disorders of canalicular stage
pulmonary hypoplasia
surfactant deficiency
ACD
disorders of saccular stage
pulmonary hypoplasia
surfactant deficiency
disorders of alveolar stage
surfactant deficiency
congenital lobar emphysema
pulmonary hypertension
which arteries have muscle?
pre-acinar not intra-acinar
type 1 vs type 2 pneumocytes
shape:
1. fried egg/tight junctions
2. cuboid
percentage of surface
1. 90%
2. 10%
more cells: 2
role in gas exchange: 1
surfactant: 2
what percent of FLF is cleared prenatally, during active labor, and postnatally
35 - 30 -35%
prenatal clearance
- decreased formation
- Cl secretion decreases & Na into cell increases - FLF follows
- increased lymphatic oncotic pressure promoting alveoli –> lymphatics
active labor clearance
- mechanical compression
- catecholamines –> increase Na transport into cells
- cortisol and thyroid –> increase Na transport into cells
postnatal clearance
- lung distension pressure –> fluid into interstitium
- lymphatic transition
components of surfactant
50% phosphatidylcholine disaturated
20% phosphatidylcholine monosaturated
8% SP A, B, C, D
8% neutral lipids
8% phosphatidyl glyerol
6% other
which surfactant proteins are excreted by type II and clara cells and which by type II alone?
both = A and B
only type II = C and D
what chromosomes express each surfactant protein
A = 10
B = 2
C = 8
D = 10
when in gestation is each surfactant protein expressed
A =early third
B= end of first
C = end of first
D = latest in third
which surfactant protein is most abundant
SP A
which surfactant proteins are hydrophillic and which are hydrophobic?
hydrophillic = A and D (both collectins)
hydrophobic = B and C
which surfactant proteins are induced by steroids
A, B, and C
what does SP A do?
tubular myelin formation
phospholipid uptake and inhibits its secretion
host defense: opsonization, inflammation modulation
helps regulate the expression and uptake of surfactant
what does SP B do?
SURFACTANT FUNCTION
tubular myelin formation
surface absorption of phospholipids
what does SP C do?
SURFACTANT FUNCTION
surface absorption of phospholipids
what does SP D do?
- host defense:
– opsonization
– inflammation modulation
– antioxidant - surfactant lipid homeostasis
- regulates reuptake and recycling
ABCA3 pathophys
AR
transport of lipids –> lack of DPPC and PG –> decreased lamellar bodies
Surfactant metabolism
- transport
- lamellar storage
- secretion
- adsorption
- turnover
- recycling
- clearance
which pregnancy related factors delay lung development?
diabetes
rh immunization
2nd born twin
male
c-sec
prematurity
insulin
tgf beta
androgen
phosphatidylinositol change over time
peaks around 35 then drops
present before phosphotidylglycerol
sphingomyelin change over time
does NOT reflect lung maturity
decreases after 32 weeks
what is ratio that is used to reflect lung maturity?
lecithin/sphingomyelin
lecithin change over time
increases with GA
reflects lung maturity
> 2 = mature; 2 at 35 weeks
phosphatidylglycerol change over time
increases last; after 34-35 weeks
not necessary for surfactant function
reflects lung maturity
what is foam stability or shake test
if AF mixed with ethanol forms foam then phosphatidyl glycerol is present suggesting mature lung
high false negative
what is lamellar body solubilization test
detects unraveling or solubilization of lamellar bodies in amniotic fluid if mature lung tissue
laplace law
P = 2T/r
P = pressure to resist alveolar collapse
T = surface tension
r - alverolar radius
boyles law
P1V1 = P2V2
what is the hering breuer inflation reflex
lung overinflation –> inspiration stops as pulmonary stretch receptors in smooth muscle send signals to afferent neural input in medulla causing vagal nerve to inhibit inspiration
