TOPIC # 10 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Flashcards
The respiratory system consists of the
nose,
nasopharynx,
larynx,
trachea,
extrapulmonary bronchi and
lungs. In birds the trachea terminates in a flattened Y-shaped tube, the syrinx.
nasal cavity contains the ; divided into right and left chambers by the nasal septum.
nasal conchae
Initially, surface ectoderm and the rostral end of the frontonasal prominence thickens to form
bilateral
nasal placodes.
The bilateral rostral openings of the nasal cavity become the (nostrils) and the
ectomesenchyme surrounding them forms cartilage of the nose
external nares
Continued outgrowth of the medial lateral nasal processes elongates the
nasal pits
The are separated by the formation of the palate
nasal and oral cavities
The nasal cavity
opens caudally into the nasopharynx through the choanae or
posterior nares.
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, the .
vomeronosal organ
Each lateral nasal process gives rise to the (wing of the nose).
alar cartilage
Cartilaginous ridges arise from the wall of the nasal cavity and become (t
conchae or
turbinates
Frontonasal prominence=>
bridge of the nose
Depression between the lateral nasal process and the maxillary process deepens to form the
nasolacrimal groove,
which closes over to form the
nasolacromal duct
Ectomesenchyme of VA 4 aggregates and elongates in a transverse plane to form the
epiglottal
swellings.
Splanchnic mesoderm on the lateral sides of the laryngotracheal groove also aggregate and
elongate in a longitudinal plane to form bilateral
laryngeal swelling.
The epiglottal swelling and the two laryngeal swelling grow together to form the with a Tshaped opening.
larynx
develops from somite myotomes that migrate into VA4
Laryngeal muscle
The grows caudally into splanchnic mesoderm located ventral to the
pharynx.
