7 Development of Respiratory System and Body Cavities Development of the Respiratory System Thomas A. Marino, Ph.D. Competencies: Upon completion of this section of the course, you must be able to: • Define the segments of the primitive gut tube. • Describe the embryological movements of the respiratory diverticulum as it develops into the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. • Explain the origin of cells that develop into the lung tissue. • Compare and contrast morphology of the lungs during the four stages of lung development. • Describe the primitive body cavity and how it becomes subdivided into pleural, pericardial and peritoneal cavities. Introduction • Development of the lungs begins at 4 weeks. • The epithelium of the respiratory system develops from endoderm. • The connective tissue, cartilage and muscle develop from splanchnic mesoderm. Early Embryonic Morphology • Early vertebrate body plan • At 26 days a small opening in the foregut appears. • At 28 days it evaginates to form a laryngotracheal diverticulum. Separation of the Laryngotracheal Diverticulm • Longitudinal folds - tracheoesophageal ridges develop • Form tracheoesophageal septum Notochord Sox2 Nkx2-1 FGF10 RA Noggin Esophagus Lung Bud Wnt2 Bmp Significance • Lack of • Result – Shh – Trachoesophageal – Retinoic acid fistula receptors – Esophageal atresia – FGF10 – Sox2 – Nkx2-1 – Bmp4 – Noggin – Wnt Tracheoesophageal septum separates • Trachea and lung buds - ventral • Esophagus - dorsal Development of the Larynx • Epithelium develops from endoderm of laryngotracheal tube. • Connective tissue and cartilage develops from splanchnic mesoderm. • Cartilages develop from neural crest cells.

Endoderm Mesoderm In FGF10 deficient mice there are no lung buds. FGF2 FGF10 Development of the Lungs • 4th week the lung bud develops • divides into two lung buds Development of the Lungs • Two lung buds divide: • The right one into three main bronchi • The left one into two main bronchi https://syllabus.med.unc.edu/ courseware/embryo_images/ unit-digest/digest_htms/ digest012a.htm Development of the Lungs • Bronchi continue to divide. • By 6 months there have been 17 generations of subdivisions. • After birth there are an additional 6 divisions of the bronchial tree. • As growth occurs there is a caudal development of the lungs. • At birth the tracheal bifurcation is at the level of the 4th thoracic vertebra. Maturation of the Lungs • There are 3 Stages of Lung Maturation • 1. Pseudoglandular Period ( 5 - 16 weeks) • 2. Canalicular Period (16 - 26 weeks) • 3. Terminal Sac (Saccular) Period (26 weeks to birth) • There are 4(5) Stages of Lung Maturation 1. Embryonic ( 4 – 11 weeks) 2. Pseudoglandular Period ( 5 - 16 weeks) 3. Canalicular Period (16 - 26 weeks) 4. Saccular (Terminal Sac) Period (26 weeks to after birth) 5. Alveolar Period (late fetal period to childhood) Maturation of the Lungs • Pseudoglandular Period - 5 to16 weeks • All elements of the lungs are developed except those elements involved in gas exchange. • Branching morphogenesis is prominent. • Terminal Bronchioles present no respiratory bronchioles Branching morphogenesis • Bud elongation FGF10 • Elongation stops FGF2 • Tip of the bud widens • Bifurcation Factors involved • Retinoic acid forms gradient with highest levels proximally – RA inhibits FGF10 • SHH promotes BMP4 which inhibits FGF10 • Wnt3b regulates BMPs which promote proliferation of mesoderm. • What BMPs are regulating is not precisely known at the cellular level. Maturation of the Lungs • Canalicular Period - 16 - 26 weeks • Overlap as cranial segments mature faster than caudal ones. • Lumen of bronchi and bronchioles become large relative to tissues • Bronchial tree branches become narrower. • Respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts develop. • Tissue becomes more vascular. Maturation of the Lungs • Canalicular Period (16 - 26 weeks) – Note the cuboidal epithelium of the airway. – The blood vessels are not close to the epithelium Maturation of the Lungs • Terminal Sac Period ( 26 weeks - birth) – Now the epithelium is much thinner. – The blood vessels abut the epithelium • What regulates the switch from pseudoglandular to canalicular an to terminal sac stage? – Alveolar sacs begin to form – Blood vessels become closely associated with the alveolar cells. Maturation of the Lungs • Terminal Sac Period (26 weeks to birth) • Terminal sacs develop • Epithelium becomes very thin • Capillaries bulge into the alveoli • Type I alveolar cells develop • Capillary network develops rapidly Formation of Alveoli • PDGF • Fgf – Fgf2 and Fgf18 important for late alveolar development • Retinoic acid – High and low levels can disrupt lung development. Multipotential cell Bronchiolar cells Alveolar cells Non neuroendocrine Neuroendocrine Type II cells cells cells ?? ?? Ciliated cells Goblet cells Type I cells Maturation of the Lungs • By 20 weeks Type II alveolar cells begin producing surfactant. • Surfactant permits expansion of terminal sacs. • Fetus needs to weigh 1000 gm and be between 26 and 28 weeks before enough surfactant is produced. • Surfactant and enough capillaries are necessary. Maturation of the Lungs • Alveolar Period ( late fetal period to childhood) • Squamous epithelium forms. • During this period respiratory bronchioles end as terminal sacs. • Terminal sacs become alveolar ducts. • Alveoli form after birth. • From 3rd to 8th year alveoli continue to develop. Maturation of the Lungs • Alveolar Period – Now there are: • Type I alveolar cells • Type II alveolar cells • Macrophages • Fibroblasts Lungs at Birth • At birth the lungs are filled with fluid. • Fluid is replaced by air. • Fluid cleared through: • Mouth and nose • Pulmonary capillaries • Pulmonary arteries, veins and lymphatics • After birth most growth is in the number of respiratory bronchioles and alveoli and not an increase in the size of alveoli. Formation of blood vessels • Angiogenesis – Angiogenesis new blood vessels from pre- existing blood vessels • Vasculogenesis – angioblasts develop into endothelial cells and new blood vessels form • Vegf helps regulate this along with ephrinB2 and B4 The pulmonary vasculature develops in the absence of lung specification. • Cardiac outflow tract and pulmonary vasculature come from cardiopulmonary mesoderm progenitors that lie in the posterior splanchnic mesoderm. ! • Lung mesenchyme develops separately from these progenitors.

  • The Digestive System
    69 chapter four THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is structurally divided into two main parts: a long, winding tube that carries food through its length, and a series of supportive organs outside of the tube. The long tube is called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract extends from the mouth to the anus, and consists of the mouth, or oral cavity, the pharynx, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intes- tine. It is here that the functions of mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption of nutrients and water, and release of solid waste material take place. The supportive organs that lie outside the GI tract are known as accessory organs, and include the teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Because most organs of the digestive system lie within body cavities, you will perform a dissection procedure that exposes the cavities before you begin identifying individual organs. You will also observe the cavities and their associated membranes before proceeding with your study of the digestive system. EXPOSING THE BODY CAVITIES should feel like the wall of a stretched balloon. With your skinned cat on its dorsal side, examine the cutting lines shown in Figure 4.1 and plan 2.

Cardoso* and Jining Lü During early respiratory system development, the foregut endodermal specification, lung primordium formation, and the endoderm gives rise to the tracheal and lung cell progenitors. regulation of the initial stages of branching morphogenesis and Through branching morphogenesis, and in coordination with differentiation in the embryonic lung. We address questions such as vascular development, a tree-like structure of epithelial ‘when and how is respiratory cell fate established?’, ‘how do lung tubules forms and differentiates to produce the airways and buds form?’, ‘how are stereotypical patterns of airway branching and alveoli. Recent studies have implicated the fibroblast growth cellular diversity generated in the developing lung?’ and ‘which factor, sonic hedgehog, bone morphogenetic protein, retinoic pathways and targets are key to these processes?’. Most of what is acid and Wnt signaling pathways, and various transcription described refers to mouse lung development because of the genetic factors in regulating the initial stages of lung development. data available (Table 1).

Open Circulatory System blood is pumped from the heart through blood vessels but then it leaves the blood vessels and enters body cavities, where the organs are bathed in blood. Mollusks and arthropods: (except cephalopods) have an open circulatory system. 3 11/7/2014 Open Circulatory System Arthopods The coelom carries blood (hemolymph). It is called a hemocoel The blood of insects is colorless because it lacks respiratory pigments; it functions to carry nutrients, not gases. Crustaceans and some arachnids have hemocyanin a protein with copper, not within a cell Animals with open circulatory systems generally have limited activity due to limitations in the oxygen delivery capability Insects are able to be active because gas exchange is via a tracheal system. Closed Circulatory System Blood is contained within blood vessels. Valves prevent the backflow of blood within the blood vessels. This type of circulatory system is found in vertebrates and several invertebrates including annelids, squids and octopuses 4 11/7/2014 Closed Circulatory System Earthworms have a dorsal and ventral blood vessel that runs the length of the animal.

  • Embryology Dr. Azal N.Al-Nusear Respiratory System 1-Upper
    Embryology Dr. Azal N.Al-Nusear Respiratory System 1-Upper Respiratory System: The upper respiratory system consists of the nose, nasopharynx, and oropharynx. 2-Lower Respiratory system: The lower respiratory system consists of the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. The first sign of development is the formation of the respiratory diverticulum in the ventral wall of the primitive foregut during week 4. The distal end of the respiratory diverticulum enlarges to form the lung bud. The lung bud divides into two bronchial buds that branch into the primary, secondary, tertiary, and subsegmental bronchi. The respiratory diverticulum initially is in open communication with the foregut, but eventually they become separated by mesoderm (tracheoesophageal folds). When the tracheoesophageal folds fuse in the midline to form the tracheoesophageal septum, the foregut is divided into the trachea ventrally and esophagus dorsally. RD: respiratory diverticulum F: foregut. VM: visceral mesoderm. TEF : tracheoesophageal folds the trachea (T) and esophagus (E). B = bronchial buds. LL = left lung; L = right lung; Development of Individual Parts of the Respiratory System Larynx The larynx develops from the cranial part of laryngotracheal diverticulum. The opening of the respiratory diverticulum into the foregut becomes the laryngeal orifice. The mesenchyme (of fourth and sixth pharyngeal arches) surrounding the laryngeal orifice proliferates. As a result, the slit-like laryngeal orifice becomes T shaped. Subsequently laryngeal orifice acquires a characteristic adult shape. The lining epithelium of larynx develops from endoderm of this diverticulum. At first the endodermal cells proliferate and completely obliterate lumen of larynx. Later the cells breakdown and recanalization of larynx take place.

  • The Missing Link CASE REPORT
    CASE REPORT 531 The missing link J. Maus1, S. Naegels1, H. Slabbynck2, L. De Waele1, I. Ruytjens1 (1) ZNA Middelheim, Department of Gastro-enterology ; (2) ZNA Middelheim, Department of Pneumology. Abstract We present a case of a 28-year old woman who presented with bizarre wheezing breath sounds on expiration and dysphagia, with unexplained significant dilation of the esophagus mimicking achalasia finally leading to the diagnosis of a very small congenital tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Congenital TEF is usually detected shortly after birth and is typically accompanied by esophageal atresia. Congenital TEF without esophageal atresia (H-type fistula) can be missed in early life and diagnosis may be postponed until adulthood due to subtle symptoms. Diagnosis is usually based upon a combination of esophagoscopy, bronchoscopy, barium esophagography and CT-scan. The only clue can be the finding of a significant dilated aperistaltic esophagus, with subsequent more detailed CT reconstruction revealing a very tiny H-type TEF. It is important to raise the awareness of small H-type TEF as a possible cause of achalasia-like esophageal dilation in adulthood and of very unusual and bizarre wheezing breath sounds. (Acta gastroenterol. belg., 2018, 81, 531-533). Key words : adult ; congenital ; tracheoesophageal fistula ; H-type. Introduction Most patients with congenital TEF are diagnosed shortly after birth or in early life due to frequent association with esophageal atresia which leads to life-threatening complications and warrants immediate surgery. (1) H-type TEF, where esophageal atresia is absent, is rare and diagnosis may be postponed until adulthood due to subtle symptoms and physician unfamiliarity (2).
