    Study Notes

    Introduction to the Respiratory System

    • The respiratory system's primary function, gas exchange, begins after birth.
    • Embryonic development involves the formation of the respiratory tract, diaphragm, and lungs.
    • The respiratory tract is anatomically divided into upper and lower tracts.
    • The upper respiratory tract comprises the nose, nasal cavity, and pharynx.
    • The lower respiratory tract consists of the larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, alveoli, and diaphragm.

    Learning Objectives

    • Understand the development of the lung bud and surrounding structures within the pharyngeal foregut.
    • Learn the four key developmental stages of lung formation and their distinguishing characteristics.
    • Identify the lobes of the right and left lungs, along with their associated bronchopulmonary segments.

    Development of Lower Respiratory Tract and Lungs

    • The ventral wall of the foregut forms the laryngotracheal groove.
    • This groove subsequently develops into the laryngotracheal diverticulum.
    • The diverticulum further divides into the trachea and lung buds.
    • The tracheoesophageal septum forms during respiratory system development, crucial for separating the trachea from the esophagus.

    Tracheoesophageal Fistula/Atresia

    • Hypoplasia of the tracheoesophageal septum is a potential issue.
    • A fistula between the trachea and esophagus can occur.
    • This condition often co-occurs with esophageal atresia.

    Bronchial Development

    • The distal end of the laryngotracheal diverticulum divides into right and left lung buds.
    • This division establishes the bronchi and lungs.
    • The undivided portion of the diverticulum becomes the trachea.
    • The opening of the diverticulum ultimately forms the larynx.

    Pseudoglandular and Canalicular Stages

    • The Pseudoglandular stage (5-16 weeks) features branching of airways, presence of terminal sacs, and a noticeable presence of CT cells in the respiratory tract, as well as capillaries.
    • The Canalicular stage (16-25 weeks) showcases developing respiratory bronchioles and terminal bronchioles.

    Terminal Sac and Alveolar Stages

    • The Terminal sac stage (26 weeks-birth) is characterized by the presence of terminal sacs, respiratory bronchioles, and the beginning of alveolar development.
    • The Alveolar stage (birth-8 years) is marked by the formation of alveoli, smooth muscle cells, and the development of the alveolar capillary network.

    Hyaline Membrane Disease

    • Hyaline membrane disease (HMD) results from a deficiency in surfactant, a surface-active agent produced by type II pneumocytes.
    • Adequate surfactant is essential for maintaining alveolar patency and preventing collapse.
    • Infants born prematurely, those of diabetic mothers, and those experiencing fetal distress are at a higher risk for HMD.
    • Clinical symptoms include dyspnea, tachypnea, inspiratory retractions, expiratory grunting, cyanosis, and nasal flaring.
    • Treatment often involves administering corticosteroids like betamethasone.

    Knowledge Check Quiz

    • Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS) stems from a lack of adequate surfactant, causing alveolar damage. This critical role of surfactant in maintaining lung function is a key feature of this condition.
