Respiratory System Flashcards
Development
Cranial portion of foregut (together with dig. System)
What is the foregut?
Runs from pharynx/esophagus to duodenum
Buccopharyngeal membrane
Rostral portion, dev. Of mouth
How does the lateral walls of foregut develop?
Branchial cleft
Pharyngeal bursa
Visceral arches
Branchial cleft
From external surface/ectoderm
Gives rise to external ear
Pharyngeal bursa
Endoderm/internal layer 4 pairs 1- auditory tube, middle ear, guttural pouches 2- palatine tonsil 3- parathyroid gland and thymus 4- parathyroid gland
Visceral arches
Mesoderm/middle layer
Muscle, bone, cartilage= larynx, trachea, hyoid
Floor of primitive foregut
Phase 3 Tongue (endoderm+mesoderm) Thyroid glands (endoderm)
Invagination of respiratory tube
Phase 4
Tracheoesophageal septum formation (separates trachea+esophagus to ventral-dorsal)
Tracheal pulmonary buds (immature form of lungs)
Formation of bronchus and lower resp. tract
Congenital disorders
Pharyngeal reg: tyroglossal cysts
Laryngotracheal reg: tracheal hypoplasia, tracheoesophageal fistula
Lung reg: pulmonary hypoplasia, lobar hypotrophy of foal
Cysts
Upper respiratory tract
Gaseous exchange
Olfactory/smell
Nostrils
External nasal openings
Bony/cartilaginous
Nasal cartilages
Cartilage of nasal septum
Dorsal lateral nasal cartilage=roof
Ventral lateral cartilage= floor
Alar cartilage= in equine, allows nostrils to expand
Philthrum
Groove from upper lip to nose tip
“Subnasal groove”
Rostral bone
In pigs only
Nasal conchae/turbines
Thin sheets of cartilage or bone surrounded by nasal mucosa
Dorsal
Ventral
Ethmoidal- most caudal, ethmoidal bone separates brain from nasal cavity
Nasal meatuses
"Compartments" Ventral-olfactory Medial- sinusal Ventral- respiratory All communicates by common nasal meatus
Paranasal sinuses
Maxillary
Frontal
Ethmoidal
Sphenoidal
Sinus
Air filled cavities
Decreases head weight
Protection
Heating air
Vomeronasal organ
Btw hard palate and nasal septum, communicating oral+nasal cavity (not equine)
Detects pheromones
Accessory olfactory system
Larynx
Cartilagenous tube Btw pharynx and trachea Phonation organ Protects respiratory system Ventral to esophagus
Epiglottis
Most cranial
Thyroid
Biggest one
Ventral/lateral
Makes the floor and lateral walls of larynx
Articulates with hyoid
Cricoid
Caudal
Ring-shaped
Joins trachea caudally, thyroid cranially, arythenoids dorsally
Arythenoids
Small
Joins dorsally to epiglottis and thyroid
Interarythenoid cartilage
Vocal chords attach to muscular process and vocal process
Cuneiform process
On epiglottis
Corniculate process
On arythenoids
Ligaments of larynx
Cricothyroid- ventrally btw cricoid and thyroid
Cricoarythenoid- dorsally btw cricoid and arythenoid
