Respiratory Embryo Flashcards
What is the first step into creating the future respiratory system ?
the development of the laryngotracheal groove in the caudal foregut , inferior to the 4th PAs
Where does the tracheobronchial tree develop?
caudal to the 4th pharyngeal pouches
What is the sequence of events in forming the respiratory system?
laryngotracheal groove -> laryngotracheal diverticulum -> laryngotracheal tube
What does laryngotracheal groove endoderm give rise to?
- pulmonary epithelium
- glands of larynx, trachea, and bronchi
What does the laryngotracheal groove splanchnic mesoderm give rise to?
- CT
- cartilage
- SM
What two dermal layers compromise the laryngotracheal tube?
- foregut endoderm
- splanchnic mesoderm
Describe the steps in formation of laryngotracheal tube
1 - laryngotracheal groove develops in caudal foregut, inferior to 4th PA
2 - groove evaginates to form the laryngotracheal diverticulum
3 - diverticulum elongates and is invested w/ splanchnic mesoderm
4 - distal end of diverticulum = respiratory bud (origin of respiratory. tree)
5 - tracheoesophageal folds fuse and form the tracheoesophageal septum all while above is happening
When do the tracheoesophageal fold become the septum?
end week 5
What layer are the tracheoesophageal folds derived from?
endoderm
What to the tracheoesophageal folds divide the cranial foregut into?
ventral = laryngotracheal tube dorsal = prim. oropharynx and esophagus
what does the laryngotracheal tube give rise to?
- prim. larynx, trachea, brochi, lungs
Where the the larynx being to develop?
@ cranial end of LTT
Name the steps in larynx development
1) mesenchyme swelling appear at cranial end of LTT (arytenoids)
2) arytenoids convert primordial glottis into a T shaped laryngeal inlet
3) inlet closes via epithelium proliferation
4) inlet recanalizes
5) inlet creates a laryngeal vestibule and epiglottis appears
When does recanalization of the larynx happen?
by end of week 10
What does the laryngeal vestibule contain?
-> contains mucous membrane folds which create vocal and vestibular folds
How is the epiglottis formed?
Via the hypo pharyngeal eminence
Where are laryngeal m. derived from ?
myoblasts of 4th and 6th PA
Where is the epiglottis derived from?
mesenchyme of 3rd and 4th PA
What are the 3 layers that make up the larynx?
- epidermis
- cartilage
- muscles
Where is laryngeal epidermis derived from ?
foregut endoderm (from LTT)
Where is cartilage of larynx derived from?
NCC of 4th and 6th PA
What does the laryngotracheal diverticulum give rise to?
trachea and primary bronchial buds
What dermal layer gives rise to tracheal epithelium and glands?
foregut endoderm
