MULTIPLE CHOICE nn
1. Which of the following phases of human lung development is characterized by the
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
nn formation of a capillary network around airway passages?
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
a. Pseudoglandular
b. Saccular
c. Alveolar
d. Canalicular
ANS: D nn
The canalicular phase follows the pseudoglandular phase, lasting from approximately 17
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
weeks to 26 weeks of gestation. This phase is so named because of the appearance of
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
vascular channels, or capillaries, which begin to grow by forming a capillary network
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
around the air passages. During the pseudoglandular stage, which begins at day 52 and
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
extends to week 16 of gestation, the airway system subdivides extensively and the
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
conducting airway system develops, ending with the terminal bronchioles. The saccular
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
stage of development, which takes place from weeks 29 to 36 of gestation, is
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
characterized by the development of sacs that later become alveoli. During the saccular
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
phase, a tremendous increase in the potential gas- exchanging surface area occurs. The
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
distinction between the saccular stage and the alveolar stage is arbitrary. The alveolar
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
stage stretches from 39 weeks of gestation to term. This stage is represented by the
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
establishment of alveoli.

2. Regarding postnatal lung growth, by approximately what age do most of the alveoli that
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
will be present in the lungs for life develop?
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
a. 6 months nn
b. 1 year nn
c. 1.5 years nn
d. 2 years nn
ANS: C nn
Most of the postnatal formation of alveoli in the infant occurs over the first 1.5 years of
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
life. At 2 years of age, the number of alveoli varies substantially among individuals. After
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
2 years of age, males have more alveoli than do females. After alveolar multiplication
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
ends, the alveoli continue to increase in size until thoracic growth is completed.

3. The respiratory therapist is evaluating a newborn with mild respiratory distress due to
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
nn tracheal stenosis. During which period of lung development did this problem develop?
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
, a. Embryonal
b. Saccular
c. Canalicular
d. Alveolar
ANS: A nn
The initial structures of the pulmonary tree develop during the embryonal stage. Errors
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
in development during this time may result in laryngeal, tracheal, or esophageal atresia
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
or stenosis. Pulmonary hypoplasia, an incomplete development of the lungs characterized
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
by an abnormally low number and/or size of bronchopulmonary segments and/or
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
alveoli, can develop during the pseudoglandular phase. If the fetus is born during the
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
canalicular phase (i.e., prematurely), severe respiratory distress can be expected because
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
the inadequately developed airways, along with insufficient and immature surfactant

production by alveolar type II cells, gives rise to the constellation of problems known

as infant respiratory distress syndrome.

ANS: D nn
Oligohydramnios, a reduced quantity of amniotic fluid present for an extended period of
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
time, with or without renal anomalies, is associated with lung hypoplasia. The
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
mechanisms by which amniotic fluid volume influences lung growth remain unclear.
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
Possible explanations for reduced quantity of amniotic fluid include mechanical
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
restriction of the chest wall, interference with fetal breathing, or failure to produce fetal
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
lung liquid. These clinical and experimental observations possibly point to a common
nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn
denominator, lung stretch, as being a major growth stimulant.
