RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Flashcards
composed of the nasal cavity, alae or wings, bridge, external or anterior nares, choanae or
posterior nares, nasal septum and nasolacrimal duct.
Nose
The epithelial lining of the nasal cavity postnatally give rise to diverticula called
paranasal sinuses
The epithelium in the floor of the nasal cavity give rise to a specialized olfactory sense
organ,
vomeronosal organ
Outgrowths of each extrapulmonary bronchus form future lobar bronchi, each of which gives rise to more than dozen additional branches to form a
bronchial tree
becomes the serous cavities of the trunk.
Embryonic Coelom-
incorporated within the amnion (amniotic cavity) and chorion
(chorionic cavity) and allantois (allantoic cavity) that eventually form the cavity of the
chorionic vesicle.
Extraembryonic Coelom
The embryonic coelom houses the visceral organs and is partitioned into 3 major body cavities:
➢ Anterior-ventral pericardial cavity- contains the heart.
➢ Caudal peritoneal cavity- contains digestive organs.
➢ Bilateral pleural cavities
