Study Notes
Respiratory System Development
- Six mesodermal thickenings, arranged craniocaudally, form pharyngeal arches.
- The first arch is the most prominent, containing maxillary and mandibular processes.
- The stomodeum, or oral pit, forms between the forebrain and heart.
- The buccopharyngeal membrane ruptures during the fifth week.
Face/Nose Development (4th-8th week)
- Fronto-nasal process forms from head fold.
- Two maxillary processes form the dorsal part of the first pharyngeal arch.
- Two mandibular processes are the ventral part of the first pharyngeal arch.
- Nasal placodes develop into nasal pits, with medial and lateral folds appearing in the fifth week.
- Medial nasal folds fuse to form the premaxilla/intermaxillary segment, contributing to the nasal septum, philtrum, upper lip's central part, upper jaw (four incisors), primary palate, and tip of the nose.
Maxillary Process Changes
- Maxillary processes grow medially to fuse with medial nasal folds, forming the upper lip.
- They grow laterally to fuse with mandibular processes, forming the cheeks.
- They grow superiorly, separating from lateral nasal folds via the nasolacrimal groove (nasolacrimal duct).
- Mandibular processes fuse with each other medially to form the lower lip and chin.
- Maxillary processes also fuse with mandibular processes to form the cheeks.
- Facial muscles develop from mesoderm of the second pharyngeal arch, innervated by the facial nerve.
- The upper lip is primarily formed from maxillary processes, except for the philtrum, which is from the intermaxillary segment.
- The lower lip develops from the mandibular processes.
- The alae (wings) of the nose develop from lateral nasal folds.
- Nose and oral cavities separate as the oro-nasal membrane ruptures.
- Nasal conchae develop as elevations on lateral nasal walls.
- Nasal septum develops from the intermaxillary segment.
- Olfactory epithelium develops in the palate's roof.
- Paranasal sinuses, like the maxillary sinus, develop during fetal life and reach maximum size in puberty.
Palate Development
- Primary palate: anterior triangular area containing the four incisors, formed by the intermaxillary segment.
- Secondary palate: shelf-like projections from inner sides of maxillary processes, fuse in midline with descending nasal septum.
- Anterior palate clefts result from incomplete fusion of palatine shelves with the premaxilla.
- Posterior palate clefts result from incomplete fusion of palatine shelves with each other and the nasal septum.
Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs, and Pleurae
- Tracheo-esophageal septum develops, separating foregut into esophagus and laryngo-tracheal tube.
- The epithelial lining of the respiratory system (except nose) originates from endoderm; other layers (muscles, connective tissue, cartilage) develop from mesoderm.
- Laryngo-tracheal tube extends caudally, forming laryngotracheal tube.
- Recanalization occurs after initial obliteration of the tract.
- Bronchi and lung buds develop from the laryngotracheal tube.
- Right main bronchus leads to three secondary bronchi, and then 10 tertiary bronchi.
- Left main bronchus leads to two secondary bronchi, and then 8-10 tertiary bronchi.
- Further subdivisions increase in number up to the eighth year after birth.
- Lung development stages include pseudo-glandular, canalicular, and saccular.
- Alveolar sacs mature (up to 8 years).
- Pleurae develop from lateral plate mesoderm (visceral and parietal).
Diaphragm Development
- The diaphragm has central tendon, sternal, and costal origins from septum transversum.
- Other components include median and lateral arcuate ligaments, as well as crura arising from esophagus's mesentery.
- Diaphragmatic development involves the contribution of cervical myotomes, and the phrenic nerve.
Congenital Anomalies
-
Cleft lip and palate: results from failure of fusion between medial nasal folds (both lip and palate).
-
Oblique facial cleft: maxillary and lateral nasal folds fail to fuse.
-
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (Bochdalek): pleuroperitoneal membranes fail to fuse, allowing abdominal viscera to enter the thorax.
-
Parasternal (Morgagni) hernia: sternal and costal parts of the mesoderm fail to fuse.
-
Congenital hiatus hernia: esophageal orifice is too large or esophagus is too short, leading to herniation of the cardia and upper stomach into thorax.
-
Laryngeal anomalies: Laryngeal atresia (rec closure), laryngeal web (incomplete canalization), and laryngomalacia (immature cartilage).
-
Tracheal anomalies: tracheal atresia (failure of trachea to form), tracheomalacia (soft/immature cartilage) & Tracheo-esophageal fistula (abnormal partition of the foregut by a septum).
-
Lung anomalies: lung agenesis or hypoplasia, congenital cysts, accessory lung lobes, and respiratory distress syndrome.
