Q

How does the larynx, trachea and primary bronchi form?

A
  1. The oesophagotracheal ridges fuse to form oesophagotracheal septum, which separates the trache from the oeseophagus.
  2. The larynx remains in communication with laryngopharynx at laryngeal orifice (aditus).
  3. Branching begins - primaru bronchial buds (lung buds).

Q

Problems with oesophagotracheal ridge/septum

A

Results in oesophageal atresia and/or tracheoesophageal fistula.

Most common form is proximal oesophageal atresia with distal tracheosophageal fistula.

Less commonly, atresia only, fistula only, or distal atresia with proximal fistula.

Q

Development of the lungs

A

Primary bronchial buds (lung buds) divide repeatedly

  • Secondary: lobar bronchi (week five)
  • Tertiary: segmental bronchi (week six)
  • Further branching week six onwards.

Q

Bronchial branching abnormalities

A

Epithelial (endoderm): mesenchymal (mesoderm) interactions direct branching morphogenesis.

  • Agenesis: lung fails to develop
  • Aplasia: some rudemintary bronchi
  • Hypoplasia: insufficient branching and development.

Q

What occurs in week 5-16 of bronchial development?

A

Several bronchi generations, several bronchiole generations, to terminal bronchioles.

_The conducting zone is established. _

Q

What occurs during respiratory zone development?

Q

When does simple cuboidal epithelium come into direct contact with capillaries?

A

Around week 28.

17
Q

When does alveoli develop?

A

In weeks 28-36 type I (squamous) and type II (cuboidal) of alveoli are develloping, and in contact with capillaries.

Alveoli continue to form by branching and septation postnatally, through about 10 years.

18
Q

When do type II epithelial cells begin producing surfactant?

A

They begin producing surfactant in significant quantities beginning about week 35. The first production week is by week 20 by cuboidal epithelium of bronchioles.

19
Q

Foetal breathing movement

A
  • Occur before brith
  • Cause lungs to be filled with amniotic fluid
  • Exercises the respirtaory muscles in preparation for birth.
20
Q

What can lead to reduced lung growth in utero?

A

Oligohydramnios (foetal renal insufficiency, prolonged premature rupture of membranes) can lead to reduced lung growth.

21
Q

How is fluid removed from the lungs at birth?

A
  • Expelled through nose and mouth.
  • Absorbed into pulmonary capillaries and lymphatics - leaves behind a layer of surfactant.
22
Q

How are the pleural cavities formed?

A

Begin as cavities in the lateral plate mesoderm. Lateral folding of embryo creates a single ventral body cavity (intraembryonic coelom), separate from extraembryonic coelom.

The ventral body cavity is divided into pleural, pericardiala nd peritoneal cavities by:

  • diaphragm-forming tissues
  • pleuropericardial folds.
23
Q

Visceral pleura

A

Bronchial buds grow into ventral body cavity, evaginating part of the splanchnic layer of lateral plate mesoderm - forms visceral pleura.

24
Q

Parietal pleura

A

Is derived from somatic layer of the lateral plate mesoderm.

25
Q

Diaphragm development

A

The diaphragm is formed from several structures

  • Septum transversum: a ridge of mesoderm
  • Pleuropertoneal membranes
  • Cervical somite myotomes (C3, C4, C5)
  • Oesophagus dorsal mesentary

Descends from neck region

26
Q

Congenital diaphragmatic hernias

A

The most common cause is failure of pleuroperitoneal membrane to close, leaving an opening in diaphragm.

Results in herniation of abdominal viscera into thoracic cavity.

Hypoplastic lung due to lack of room.

27
Q

Nasal cavity origin

A

From nasal placode, pit and sac; and from stomedeum (primitive mouth)

28
Q

Oral cavity origin

A

Stomodeum

29
Q

Pharynx origin

A

Foregut

30
Q

Development of the nose

A

Nasal placodes: ectodermal thickening, invaginate to form nasal pits.

Medial and lateral nasal processes around nasal pits form nose.

31
Q

Stomedeum

A

Head fold creates a recess, stomodeum, initially separated from forgut by oropharyngeal membrane.

This membrane breaks down to create continuity between stomedeum and pharynx of foregut.

32
Q

Development of nasal cavity

A
  1. Nasal placode invaginates to form nasal plt
  2. Nasal plt enlarged to form nasal sac, separated from stomedeum by primary palate and oronasal membrane.
  3. Oronasal membrane breaks down (nasal and oral cavities in open communication)
  4. Palate separates nasal cavity and oral cavity
  5. Turbinates (conchae) develop on lateral nasal wall
33
Q

Development of palate

A
  1. Primay palate from intermaxillary segment (part of medial nasal processes)
  2. Secondary palates (palatal or palatine shelves) from maxillary processes.
  3. Primary palate and secondary palate fuse.
  4. Right and left secondary palates fuse on midline.
34
Q

Errors in uRT and face development

A

Cleft lip: failure of intermaxillary segment to fuse with maxillary process/es.

Cleft palate: failure of first degree and second degree palates to fuse, and/or failure of right and left second degree palates to fuse.

May occur together or in isolation.

35
Q

Panasal air sinuses

A

Outgrowths of nasal cavity, expand into surrounding bones with increasing age.
