Stomodeum & Nasal Placodes
Stomodeum
DEVELOPMENT OF THE NASAL CAVITY
Nasal placodes (bilateral right & left oval thickenings of surface ectoderm) develop on each side of inferior part of frontonasal prominence by the end of the fourth week. Horseshoe-shaped elevations at margins of these placodes are formed Medial & lateral sides of eacheach elevation (surrounding one placodeplacode)) are called as Medial & Lateral Nasal Prominences respectively Nasal placodes now lie in depressions called Nasal Pits Progressive deepening of nasal pits form Nasal Sacs Medial & Lateral Nasal Prominence form a boundary of Naris Nasal sacs are seppyyarated from oral cavity by oronasal membrane, which ruptures during the sixth week This forms primitive choanaechoanae,, which lie posterior to primitive palate After secondary palate develops, choanae lie at junction of nasal cavity and nasopharynx Nasal septum, incisive bone & central part of upper lip develop from merged medial nasal prominences.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE BRANCHIAL APPARATUS (arches, pouches, grooves, membranes) Branchial arches (from 1 to 6) develop early in week 4 as neural crest cells migrate through the mesenchyme to the ftfuture h ead an d nec k reg ion, form ing elevations of mesoderm on each side of the primitive pharynx.
BRANCHIAL APPARATUS INCLUDES:
Branchial arches Branchial grooves Branchial pouches Branchial membranes

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE BRANCHIAL APPARATUS AND ITS DERIVATIVES DEVELOPMENT OF THE LARYNX, TRACHEA, BRONCHIAL TREE, LUNGS AND PLEURA
Development of Lower Airway & Lungs The lower airway and lungs develop as an outgrowth from the primitive gut. A laryngotracheal diverticulum buds out from the primitive pharynx about the fourth week. – Its blind end forms the lung bud. The tracheoesophageal septum separates the growing lung bud from the esophagus. The lung bud continues to elongate and branch into bronchial buds, secondary bronchi etc. About 24 orders of branches are eventuallyy, formed, with the last few being formed after birth. The endoderm of the lung bud gives rise to the epithelium and glands of the lower airway. The mesenchyme, that surrounds the bud, gives rise to connective tissue, cartilage, muscle, vessels & pleurae.

CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES OF TRACHEA: Tracheoesophageal Fistula (Common): Communication connecting trachea & esophagus that occurs in every 2500 births It has four main varieties: 1. Superior portion of esophagus ends blindly (esophageal atresia), inferior portion joins trachea near its bifurcation (most common – 90%) 2. Esophagus has communication with trachea near its bifurcation 3. Upper end of esophagus has communication with trachea near its bifurcation, whereas the lower portion ends blindly 4. Upper end of esophagus has communication with trachea, whereas the lower portion of esophagus also has communication with trachea near its bifurcation Tracheal Stenosis (narrowing) and Atresia (closure) Tracheal diverticulum

Periods of Lung Development
Pseudoglandular period (5 – 17 weeks) Canalicular period (16 – 25 weeks) Terminal sac period (24 weeks to birth) Alveolar period (late fetal period to 8 years after birth)
Periods of Lung Development From 5-5-1717 weeks the branching forms the bronchi and terminal bronchioles. From 1717--2424 weeks the diameter of the tube increases and respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts develop. At 25 weeks the alveolar sacs give rise to primitive alveoli with cuboidal epithelium. By 26 weeks the alveoli have become vascularized . By this stage the production of surfactant has begun and the fetus might survive if born prematurely.

29 9/15/2010
Canalicular (16(16––2525 w) & Terminal Sac (24w to birth) Periods
Periods of Lung Development Barriers to survival born by 26 week are the small surface area available for gas exchange, lack of adequate development of the pulmonary vasculature and insufficient surfactant production. The lung must develop further however before it is mature. This process of maturation continues for about eight years, as the number of alveoli increase.

CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES:
INFANT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME ()(IRDS): – Also called Hyaline Membrane Disease Congenital Lung Cysts Agenesis of Lungs or one Lung LHLung Hypop lilasia Accessory Lung Lobe of Azygos Vein
31 9/15/2010
Features of Respiratory Distress Syndrome Infants born premature with weights of up to 1.5 kg show RDS Their surfactant producing cells (type II pneumocytes & Clara cells) are not properly developed Deficiency of pulmonary surfactant In absence of surfactant alveoli tend to collapse during exhalation Lungs are under inflated, alveoli contain a fluid of high protein content that resembles a hyaline (glassy) membrane Prolonged intrauterine asphyxia may also produce irreversible changes in type II alveolar cells (responsible for surfactant production) Infants develop rapid, labored breathing Infants must inhale each time with extra force to reopen alveoli on next breath and they rapidly becomes exhausted
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLEURA AND PLEURAL CAVITIES Pleural cavities develop from the Intraembryonic Coelom – Right pleural cavity forms from Right Pericardio-Pericardio-PeritonealPeritoneal Canal – Left pleural cavity forms from Left PericardioPericardio--PeritonealPeritoneal Canal Pleurae develop from the Lateral Mesoderm of Three Laminar Embryonic Disc – Parietal Pleura – from Somatopleure – Visceral Pleura – from Splanchnopleure

Prenatal circulation
Aeration of Lung at Birth Lungs at birth are half filled with amniotic fluid because breathing movements occur before birth to cause aspiration of amniotic fluid into the lungs Fluid in lungs is cleared by three routes: – Through mouth and nose by pressure on thorax during delivery – Into pulmonary capillaries and blood vessels – Into lymphatic capillaries and vessels
38 9/15/2010
CHANGES THAT OCCUR AFTER BIRTH After birth, the circulation of fetal blood through the placenta ceases: – Delivery of oxygenated blood to fetus via umbilical vein ceases – The sphincter of ductus venosus constricts so all blood entering the liver passes through the hepatic sinusoids – Fall of blood pressure in the IVC and right atrium occur – Hypoxia of all tissues is increasing – Respiratory centers of the brain stem are stimulated by carbon dioxide – Insppyiratory muscles contract, thoracic ca ge is ex panded – Expansion of the lungs and First Breath takes place – Inspired air enters respiratory passageways, pushes the contained fluids out of the way and inflates the bronchial and respiratory trees – Infant’s lungs begin to function and newborn infant utters a loud cry
CHANGES THAT OCCUR AFTER BIRTH Fall in pulmonary vascular resistance Ductus arteriosus constricts Increase in pulmonary blood flow Left atrium pressure becomes higher than in right atrium Valve of oval foramen is pressed against septum secondum Foramen ovale closes
