The key takeaways are that lung development occurs in stages from the lung bud stage through branching of the bronchioles and formation of alveoli. Surfactant production is also an important part of late lung development.

The lung bud is commonly referred to as the respiratory diverticulum.

Lung development begins around 4 weeks of gestation and continues through childhood as the bronchioles branch and alveoli form.

How does the growth Lung bud -> 2 brochial buds -> R main bronchus -> 3
of the Trachea & secondary bronchi (3 lobes) -> 10 tertiary bronchi
Bronchi occur for the
right side?

How does the growth Lung bud -> 2 brochial buds -> L main bronchus -> 2

What does the visceral (Outside)


mesoderm form? Visceral pleura

What does the parietal (Inside)


mesoderm form? Parietal pleura

What is the space Pleural cavity

pleura called?

What is branching of Cellular interactions between endoderm & visceral


the lung bud regulated mesoderm: FGF
by?

At birth, where is the T4


tracheal bifurcation?

What happens during Up to 7 months


the Canclicular Phase? -bronchioles divide, increases vascular supply
-terminal bronchioles -> Respiratory bronchioles -> 3-6
alveolar ducts -> terminal sacs/primitive alveoli
-primitive alveoli & alveolar cells & capillaries are in
close contact

What happens at the Alveolar sacs are sufficient in #


end of the 7th month? Infant may survive

What happens during -# of terminal sacs increase


the last 2 months & -lots of branching
years after birth?

What changes happen -terminal sac # increase


during the last 2 -P1: become thinner & capillaries adhere into the alveolar
sacs
months regarding -blood air barrier is formed
Upgrade to remove ads
alveolar sacs? -P2: (produced during 6th month) producing surfactantOnly $1/month

What do the lungs 1. Chloride rich fluid


contain at birth? 2. Protein
3. Mucus
4. Surfactant

What changes happen 1. Aspiration of aminotic fluid: conditioning mm


during birth regarding 2. Respiration begins: fluid in lungs is resorbed
alveolar sacs? 3. Surfactant remains

What changes happen 1. Alveoli size increases


after birth regarding 2. Bronchial tree grows: increases # of respiratory
alveolar sacs? bronchioles & alveoli

How many alveoli are 1/6


present at birth? Rest are formed during the first 10 years of life
