the larynx is found at what vertebral level?
C3–C6
infants, C2–C3
The laryngeal skeleton consists of nine cartilages:
: three single
thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottic
three paired
arytenoid, corniculate, and cuneiform
epiglottis is a flap of
elastic cartilage


covered with a mucus membrane, attached to the root of the =
tongue
The epiglottis guards the entrance of the glottis, the opening between
vocal folds
Trachea
There are about ___/___
incomplete C-shaped cartilaginous rings which reinforce the anterior and lateral sides of the trachea to protect and maintain the airway.
15-20
Info x2

The trachealis muscle connects the ends of the incomplete rings, and contracts during coughing, reducing the size of the lumen of the trachea to increase the air flow rate.
The esophagus lies posteriorly to the trachea. The cartilaginous rings are incomplete to allow the trachea to collapse slightly so that food can pass down the esophagus.
first sign of development
respiratory diverticulum
of the primitive foregut is during week __?
wk 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
main right and left primary bronchus.
The respiratory diverticulum
become separated by indentations of *_________, becoming the =
mesoderm

tracheoesophageal folds.
the tracheoesophageal folds fuse in the midline to form the
tracheoesophageal septum,
The endoderm lining the groove (tracheoesophageal folds) gives rise to the epithelium and glands of the = 4ct
larynx
trachea
bronchi
pulmonary epithelium

Connective tissue, cartilage and smooth muscle of these structures develop from the =
the splanchnic mesenchym
mesoderm
BMP-4
Hox-complex, FGF-10

laryngeal epithelium and glands are derived from
endoderm
laryngeal muscles are derived from
mesoderm
laryngeal cartilages
thyroid
cricoid
arytenoid
corniculate
cuneiform

are derived from =
mesoderm

What Arches =
pharyngeal arches 4 and 6.
The laryngeal epithelium proliferates rapidly, resulting in =
temporary occlusion of the laryngeal lumen.

Recanalization of the larynx normally occurs by the =
tenth week
Recanalization of the larynx of the laryngeal lumen.,normally occurs by the =
tenth week
Vocal cords develop from folds of mucous membrane during the process of
recanalization
(CHAOS)
congenital high airway obstruction syndrome
This rare anomaly results from failure of recanalization of the larynx, and causes obstruction of the upper fetal airway
congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS)
incomplete recanalization of the larynx is called =
Laryngeal web
Laryngeal web
Symptoms
4ct
1. weak cry
2. Aphonia (inability to speak )
3. Stridor (high pitched sound resulting from turbulent air flow in the upper airway )
4. Hoarseness
abnormal communication between the trachea and esophagus that results from improper division of foregut by the tracheoesophageal septum.
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF)
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) :
generally associated with =
2ct
esophageal atresia
polyhydramnios
Development of Bronchi and Lungs
2 *________ bronchial buds

Early in week __
each bronchial bud enlarges into the primordium of a
________ ____________
endodermal

wk 5

primary bronchus

secondary bronchi are also called =
lobar bronchi
The secondary bronchi
(lobar bronchi) further subdivide into segmental (tertiary) bronchi
How many =
10 on the right side
9 on the left side

By week __, they divide another __times and the respiratory bronchioles have developed


They will divide an additional __ more times before birth
Wk 24

14x

7x
As the bronchi develop, they expand laterally and caudally into a space known as
primitive pleural cavity
Maturation of the lungs is divided into four periods:
Pseudoglandular
Canalicular
Terminal saccular
Alveolar
By week __ all major elements of the lungs have formed
Wk 16

except for those involved with gas exchange
By week __all major elements of the lungs have formed except for those involved with gas exchange
16
Canalicular period (__ to __ weeks)
16-26 wks
By week __, respiratory bronchioles have developed and respiration becomes possible, although the chances of survival are less.
24
Terminal sac period
(__ weeks to birth)


The intimate contact between epithelial and endothelial cells establishes the blood-air barrier, which permits adequate gas exchange for survival of the fetus if it is born prematurely
26 wks
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) : Hyaline membrane disease
is caused by a =
deficiency or absence of surfactant.
Surfactant is composed of =
cholesterol (50%),
di-palmitoyl-phosphatidyl-choline (DPPC; 40%),
surfactant proteins
A, B, and C (10%).
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS

Treatments include
- betamethasone (a corticosteroid) to the mother for several days before delivery
-artificial surfactant solu
-artificial ventilation
Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE)

is characterized by progressive =
overdistention of one lobe or the upper lobes or the right middle lobe with air.

due to failure of bronchial cartilage formation.
***
In this situation, air can be inspired through collapsed bronchi, but cannot be expired.
what condition
Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE)

***
During the first few days of life, fluid may be trapped in the involved lobe, producing an opaque, enlarged hemithorax. Later, the fluid is resorbed, and the classic radiologic appearance of an emphysematous lobe with generalized radiolucency (darkened images on x-ray films) is apparent.
