Respiratory development Flashcards
Laryngotracheal groove develops from what?
Ventral wall of primitive pharynx caudal to 4th pair of pharyngeal pouches.
What does the laryngotracheal groove deepen to form?
Respiratory diverticulum
What respiratory structures develop from the endoderm?
Epithelium, glands of larynx, trachea, bronchi, pulmonary epithelium
What respiratory structures develop from the splanchnic mesenchyme of foregut?
Connective tissue, cartilage, smooth muscle
Laryngeal cartilages develop from what?
Cartilages of 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches
What do the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches develop from?
Mesenchyme derived from NEURAL CREST CELLS
What do laryngeal muscles develop from?
Myoblasts of 4th and 6th pairs of pharyngeal arches
What nerves innervate laryngeal muscles?
Superior laryngeal (sensory above vocal cord) and recurrent laryngeal (sensory below and all motor) Origin: vagus nerve
What gives rise to epiglottis?
Hypobranchial eminence
What is larynx epithelial lining derived from?
Endoderm
What is the trachea formed from?
Laryngotracheal tube distal to larynx
What parts of trachea are of endodermal origin?
Tracheal glands (develop from ingrowth of surface epithelium)
What parts of trachea are derived from splanchnic mesoderm?
Cartilage, connective tissue, muscles
Tracheoesophageal fistula
–Abnormal communication (fistula) between trachea and esophagus
What is the most common anomaly of lower respiratory tract?
Tracheoesophageal fistula
What is tracheoesophageal fistula commonly associated with?
Esophageal atresia
What is esophageal atresia?
Blind-ended esophagus
What causes tracheoesophageal fistula?
Abnormal partitioning between tracheoesophageal septum causing abnormal communication between trachea and esophagus
How can pneumonia or pneumonitis occur from tracheoesophageal fistula?
Food or gastric contents may enter lungs
How can polyhydramnios occur from tracheoesophageal fistula?
Amniotic fluid accumulates because amniotic fluid can’t pass to stomach and intestines for absorption and transfer via placenta to mother’s blood
