Q

esophageal atresia

A

most common occurrence when TE septum does not close off properly; proximal part of esophagus has a blind-end while distal is connected to trachea via fistula

18
Q

EA + TEF symptoms

A

excessive accumulation of saliva and mucus, gagging after swallowing, abdominal distention, reflux of stomach contents into lungs, polyhydramnios

19
Q

development of bronchi

A

lung buds –> primary bronchial buds –> divide into secondary (lobar) bronchial buds (3 on R, 2 on L) –> tertiary (segmental) bronchial buds

20
Q

bronchopulmonary segments

A

different sections of lung tissue suppled by different tertiary bronchus

21
Q

terminal bronchiole

A

last of bronchioles without alveoli

22
Q

respiratory bronchioles

A

some alveoli where exchange can occur

23
Q

alveolar duct

A

channel with multiple alveoli in its wall

24
Q

alveolar sac

A

space that has multiple alveoli surrounding it

25
Q

embryonic lung development (weeks 4-7)

A

from lung bud to tertiary bronchioles; errors can lead to TE fistula

26
Q

pseudoglandular stage (weeks 5-17)

A

terminal bronchioles surrounded by capillaries but no alveoli; respiration is impossible

27
Q

canalicular stage (weeks 16-25)

A

from terminal bronchioles to alveolar ducts; lumen developing and begin to get pneumocytes at week 20

28
Q

pneumocytes

A

alveolar cells

29
Q

pneumocyte type I

A

squamous cells for exchange

30
Q

pneumocyte type II

A

produce surfactant

31
Q

saccular stage (weeks 26-birth)

A

alveolar ducts –> terminal sacs

32
Q

alveolar stage (week 36 to 8 years)

A

terminal sacs –> adult alveoli; number of alveoli increases exponentially in first few years of life

33
Q

aeration of lungs

A

at birth, fluid must be cleared:

  1. pressure on thorax during natural delivery forces fluid out
  2. fluid is absorbed into capillaries and lymphatics
34
Q

respiratory distress syndrome

A

insufficient pulmonary surfactant to reduce surface tension and prevent collapse

35
Q

primitive embryonic body cavity

A

space between parietal and visceral layers

36
Q

coelomic cavity

A

where visceral and parietal mesoderm layers meet; gives rise to pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities

37
Q

septum transversum

A

developing diaphragm –> starts out in cervical region (C 3,4,5) –> mesoderm origin

38
Q

phrenic nerve

A

starts at neck and travels through thoracic cavity through pericardium to the diaphragm

39
Q

pericardio-peritoneal canal

A

connects thorax with abdomen –> form pleuroperitoneal folds to close off canal

40
Q

diaphragmatic hernia

A

what happens if the pleuroperitoneal folds do not close the canal

41
Q

left pericardioperitoneal canal

A

is larger and closes off later than right –> diaphragmatic hernia will be on left side and left lung will be compressed

42
Q

pulmonary agenesis

A

absence of a lung or lobe and its bronchi; caused by failure of bronchial buds to develop

43
Q

pulmonary hypoplasia

A

poorly developed bronchial tree associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and any disorder that causes oligohydramnios
