Embryology 3 Flashcards

1
Q

What is a summary for the development of the respiratory system?

A

1) Tubular outgrowth from foregut (oesophagus)
2) This outgrowth will develop into the trachea and lung buds
3) Trachea will seperate from oesophagus and lung buds will proliferate
4) Proliferating lung buds will invaginate laterally into the pleural cavities, so forming visceral and parietal pleural and the pleural cavity
5) Meanwhile, transverse septal ‘shelf’ will begin to develop between thorax and abdomen, below the pleural cavities
6) This shelf is composed of 4 components, which fuse to form the diaphragm
7) But sometimes things go wrong with the embryonic tracheal, lung and diaphragmatic formation which results in congenital abnormalities

Q

What is the process of the development of the trachea and lungs?

A

1) Respiratory primordium starts as a median outgrowth (diverticulum) - laryngotracheal groove - from vental part of the foregut
2) Diverticulum (part of endoderm) becomes invested (covered) with mesoderm on its outside and enlarges to form trachea and lung buds
3) A septum (oesophagotracheal septum) develops between the oesophagus and trachea, completely seperating them

29
Q

What is the process for the development of the pleural cavities and the pleurae?

A

1) As the lungs develop they acquire a layer of visercal pleura from the splanchnic mesoderm
2) The thoracic wall becomes lined by a lyer of parietal pleura, derived from somatic mesoderm
3) Gap between parietal and visceral pleurae called pleuroperitoneal canals (eventually becomes pleural cavities)
4) Pleuropericardial folds form around primitive heart deperating pleural cavities from pericardial cavity

Q

What happens after the pleural membranes have formed?

A

They differentiate:

1) Lung buds punch into the visceral mesoderm
2) Mesoderm which covers the outside of the lung develops in the visceral pleural
3) Somatic mesoderm covering the body wall from the inside becomes the pleura, with the space between ebing the pleural cavity
