Respiratory Anatomy Flashcards
Respiratory diverticulum came from what embryological origin?
Upper end of foregut
From the respiratory diverticulum what develops?
2 lung buds
Lung buds become what for each lung?
primary bronchi
Primary–> secondary –> tertiary bronchi –> terminal bronchioles –> respiratory bronchioles and what develops here in the 3rd trimester?
Alveoli
What is esophageal atresia?
Upper end of the esophagus is blind-ending
