Study Notes
GROWTH of LUNGS into the BODY CAVITY
- Pleural membranes differentiate to establish the pleural and pericardial cavities.
- Pleuropericardial folds serve as the dividing structures between the pleural and pericardial cavities.
- The septum transversum partially separates abdominal and thoracic cavities during development.
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a developmental defect leading to displacement of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity.
- Initial lung patterning occurs within the developing embryo.
DEVELOPMENT of HUMAN LUNG
- Endodermal and mesenchymal interactions play a crucial role in lung development.
- Key signaling molecules facilitate various stages of lung maturation.
- Lung development occurs in distinct stages:
- Pseudoglandular Period (5-17 Weeks): Initial branching of the lung.
- Canalicular Period (16-26 Weeks): Formation of airways and vascularization.
- Terminal Sac Period (26 Weeks to Birth): Development of alveoli and respiratory surface.
- Alveolar Period (Late Fetal to Age 8): Maturation of alveoli for efficient gas exchange.
- Surfactant proteins are crucial for lung function, reducing surface tension in alveoli.
CLINICAL CORRELATIONS
- Respiratory distress syndrome: Common in premature infants due to surfactant deficiency.
- Hyaline membrane disease: A significant cause of respiratory failure in neonates.
- Congenital lung cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can affect lung development.
- Agenesis of lungs: Complete absence of lung tissue, poses serious health risks.
- Lung hypoplasia: Underdevelopment of lung tissue contributes to respiratory distress.
- Diaphragmatic hernias: Abnormal displacement of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity.
THE GUT TUBE AND THE BODY CAVITIES
- By the end of the 3rd week, intra-embryonic mesoderm folds ventrally, forming the gut tube.
- The abdominal cavity is suspended by the dorsal mesentery, anchoring the gut tube to the posterior body wall.
- Ventral mesentery exists only from the caudal foregut to the upper duodenum, originating from the septum transversum.
- The diaphragm plays a key role in thoracic cavity formation, with the septum transversum being a significant structural component.
LARYNX and TRACHEA Development
- Phrenic nerves innervate the diaphragm, originating from cervical spinal segments.
- Lung bud formation is driven by increased retinoic acid (RA) from adjacent mesoderm, influencing TBX4 expression and respiratory diverticulum development.
- Cartilages and muscles of the larynx develop from mesenchyme associated with pharyngeal arches, innervated by branches of the vagus nerves.
SURGICAL REPAIR
- Surgical interventions for respiratory conditions lead to significantly improved survival rates, now exceeding 85%.
