Q

what are the common symptoms a patient woud experience w/ an esophageal atresia

A

drooling

  • regurgitation
  • cant swallow = infection of lungs occurs b/c ingested food goes to trachea then to lungs instead of stomach

Q

laryngeal cartilages and musculature arise from what pharyngeal arch pairs

17
Q

the laryngeal muscles arising from the 4 pharyngeal arch are innervated by ____________, whereas the mm. arising from the 6th pharyngeal arch are innervated by the ___________ ?

A
  • superior laryngeal n.

- recurrent laryngeal n.

18
Q

as the lung bud continues to grow ventrally into the splanchnic mesoderm, it divides to form __________.
What day does this occur

A

2 primary bronchial buds (future primary bronchi)

-day 28

19
Q

once the lung bud has split, the primary bronchial buds growing w/in the splanchnic mesoderm are buldging into what ?

A

the pericardioperitoneal canal

20
Q

the pericardioperitoneal canal eventually changes name to the pleural cavities. With that said, what gives rise to the visceral pleura and what gives rise to the parietal pleura

A

splanchnic mesoderm - visceral pleura (lining over lungs)

somatic mesoderm - parietal pleura (lining of thoracic cavity)

21
Q

primary bronchial buds divide into what ?

what day does this occur

A

3 secondary bronchial (lobar )buds on rights
2 secondary bronchial (lobar) buds on Left
-day 30

22
Q

each secondary bronchial bud will supply _____ lobe of the lung

23
Q

what do secondary bronchial (lobar) buds develop into ?

A
10 tertiary (segmental) bronchial buds on right
8-9 tertiary (segmental) bronchial buds on left
24
Q

what makes up a bronchpulmonary segment

A

tertiary bronchus+surrounding tissue

25
explain the movement of air starting at the trachea
trachea --> primary bronchi --> secondary bronchi ---> tertiary bronchi --> bronchioles ---> terminal bronchioles ---> resp. bronchioles ---> alveolar ducts ---> terminal sacs/primitve alveloi
26
what are the 4 stages of lung development, and what weeks do they occur in
pseudoglandular : week 6-16 canalicular : week 16-26 terminal sac : week 26-birth alveolar : 32 weeks to 8 yrs.
27
what does lung tissue look like during the pseudoglanular stage of development (6-16)
collection of exocrine glands
28
can a fetus survive during the pseudoglandular stage
NO, b/c resp. bronchioles and alveolar sacs not developed yet so cant do gas exchange
29
what does lung tissue look like during the canalicular stage of resp. dev. (16-26
highly vascular
30
can a fetus survive if born during the canalicular stage
YES, b/c respiration is possible since resp. bronchioles present -most likely die though
31
blood-brain barrier is established during what stage of resp. dev.
terminal sac stage (26-birth)
32
Type I and Type II alveolar cells are both produced at week 26 during the terminal sac stage of resp. dev. What do each of them do ?
Type I alveolar cells - cells allowing gas exchange | Type II - produce and secrete pulmonary surfactant
33
what are pneumocytes
Type I and type II alveolar cells
34
what is the function of pulmonary surfactant
-reduce surface tension preventing collaps upon exhaling
35
when do Type II alveolar cells start producing surfactant
weeks 20-22 but not enough to survive untill week 26
36
what is respiratory distress syndrome
disease premature babies could suffer from due to insufficient surfactant
37
when do alveoli become fully functional ?
during alveolar stage (week 32-8 years)
38
T/F All alveoli develop and mature before birth
F, 95 % mature postnatally
