Study Notes
Development of Respiratory System
- The laryngotracheal diverticulum forms by the end of the 4th week.
- The laryngotracheal diverticulum is located ventral to the caudal part of the foregut.
- The laryngotracheal diverticulum is the first sign of respiratory system development.
- The laryngotracheal diverticulum is located caudal to the hypobranchial eminence and is in the floor of the developing pharynx.
- The laryngotracheal diverticulum is a midline evagination from the ventral wall of the pharyngeal part of the foregut.
- The laryngotracheal diverticulum extends in a caudal direction and elongates.
- The distal end of the laryngotracheal diverticulum enlarges to form the lung bud (respiratory bud).
- The laryngotracheal diverticulum separates from the primordial pharynx, but maintains communication with it through the primordial laryngeal inlet.
- The laryngotracheal diverticulum elongates and is invested by splanchnic mesoderm.
- Longitudinal tracheoesophageal folds develop in the laryngotracheal diverticulum and fuse to form a partition, the tracheoesophageal septum.
- The tracheoesophageal septum divides the cranial part of the foregut into the ventral part, the laryngotracheal tube (Primordium of the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs) and the dorsal part, the primordium of the oropharynx and esophagus.
- The opening of the laryngotracheal tube into the pharynx becomes the primordial laryngeal inlet.
Development of the Larynx
- The larynx develops from the cranial most part of the laryngotracheal tube.
- The opening of the respiratory diverticulum into the foregut becomes the laryngeal orifice or inlet of larynx.
Developmental Components of the Larynx
- Laryngeal epithelium and glands are derived from the endoderm of the cranial part of the laryngotracheal tube.
- Cartilages of the larynx (Thyroid, Cricoid, Arytenoid, Corniculate, and Cuneiform) are derived from mesenchyme of the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches.
- The epiglottis develops from the caudal part of the hypopharyngeal eminence, produced by the proliferation of the mesenchyme in the ventral ends of the 3rd and 4th pharyngeal arches.
- Laryngeal muscles are derived from mesenchyme of the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches.
- All the muscles of the larynx are innervated by branches of the vagus nerve (X cranial nerve).
Development of the Trachea
- The respiratory diverticulum elongates considerably before the bronchial buds appear.
- The elongated portion of the respiratory diverticulum forms the trachea.
- The endodermal lining of the laryngotracheal tube distal to the larynx differentiates into the epithelium and the glands of the trachea and the pulmonary epithelium.
- The cartilage, connective tissue, and muscles of the trachea are derived from the splanchnic mesoderm surrounding the laryngotracheal tube.
Clinical Correlation: Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF)
- Tracheoesophageal fistula is an abnormal communication between the trachea and esophagus that results from improper division of the foregut by the tracheoesophageal septum.
- Tracheoesophageal fistula is generally associated with esophageal atresia and polyhydramnios.
Development of Bronchi and Lungs
- Splanchnic mesenchyme gives rise to bronchial smooth muscle and connective tissue, cartilaginous plates, pulmonary connective tissue and capillaries.
- Visceral pleura is derived from splanchnic mesoderm, parietal pleura is derived from somatic mesoderm.
- Endoderm gives rise to bronchial epithelium and glands.
Maturation of Lungs
- The lung matures in a proximal–distal direction, with the largest bronchi and proceeding outward.
- Lung development is heterogeneous; proximal pulmonary tissue will be in a more advanced period of development than distal pulmonary tissue.
Stages of lung development
- Pseudoglandular Period: During this stage the trachea and bronchi are formed, lung buds branch but alveoli are not formed.
- Canalicular Period: The formation of larger airways and vascularization continues, and gas exchange can begin.
- Terminal Sac Period: Terminal sacs at the end of bronchioles form, capillaries closely associated with thin epithelium, this is the stage of fetal breathing.
- Alveolar Period: True alveoli begin to appear, alveolar ducts and sacs develop and mature, capillary network expands, and lungs are capable of gas exchange at birth.
