Respiratory System - Carnegie Stage 13
Introduction
Section | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
B1L | Pharynx.
Crest in ventral floor of pharynx formed by fusion of 3rd pharyngeal arches = hypopharyngeal eminence (precursor of root of tongue). Rathke's pouch forming the rudimentary adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary). | |
B3L | Rudimentary thyroid ventral to aortic sac (also seen in B2, ventral to the hypopharyngeal eminence). | |
B4L | Caudal pharynx compressed dorsoventrally. | |
B7L | Glottis drawn off from pharyngeal foregut.
Nasal placodes. Pulmonary arteries. | |
C1L | Commencement of trachea and oesophagus with dense mesenchyme.
Right nasal pit. | |
C3L | Common cardinal vein in the posterior wall of the intraembryonic coelom.
The pleuropericardial folds which contribute later to the formation of the pleura and pericardium. In C4, junction of right common cardinal vein with dorsal wall of sinus venosus. Left nasal pit. | |
C5L | Smaller oesophagus, expanding trachea. Note ventral anchoring of attachment site is at the most cranial extension of the septum transversum.
Note also that this attachment now divides the intraembryonic coelom around the trachea into two canals, the L and R pleuro (pericardio-peritoneal) canals. (Canals are lined by coelomic mesothelium and are continuous with whole I-E coelom - they will be referred to hereafter simply as coelomic canals). Note the pleuroperitoneal fold on the medial side of the R common cardinal vein - this fold will form part of the diaphragm. | |
C5L | Lateral extension of pulmonary mesenchyme is moulded to shape of coelomic canals. Oesophagus lumen obliterated (common site of oesophageal atresia and/or tracheo-oesophageal fistula). Prominent R pleuroperitoneal fold. | |
C7L | Note dorsal extent of coelomic canals.
Oesophagus lumen reappears caudal to bifurcation. Distinct R (smaller on L) pleuroperitoneal fold below the common cardinal vein. | |
D1L | Oesophagus/stomach junction. Coelomic canals. | |
D2L | Ovoid stomach with developing space of the lesser sac on R.
Dorsal and ventral attachments of the mesenchyme are now known as dorsal and ventral mesogastria. Coelomic canals. | |
G7L | Caudal pharynx (extending laterally, ventral to dorsal aorta - cf B4). Stomach, mesentery | |
G6L | Narrow oesophagus. Tracheal bifurcation dorsal to sinus venosus. |
