MULTIPLE CHOICE ss




1. Which of the following phases of human lung development is characterized by
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




the formation of a capillary network around airway passages?
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




a. Pseudoglandular

b. Saccular

c. Alveolar

d. Canalicular



ANS: D ss




The canalicular phase follows the pseudoglandular phase, lasting from approximately 17 weeks
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




to 26 weeks of gestation. This phase is so named because of the appearance of vascular
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




channels, or capillaries, which begin to grow by forming a capillary network around the air
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




passages.
ss




During the pseudoglandular stage, which begins at day 52 and extends to week 16 of
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s ss s s s s s s ss s s s s




gestation, the airway system subdivides extensively and the conducting airway system
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




develops, ending with the terminal bronchioles. The saccular stage of development, which
ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




takes place from weeks 29 to 36 of gestation, is characterized by the development of sacs that
s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




later become alveoli.
ss ss ss




During the saccular phase, a tremendous increase in the potential gas- exchanging surface area
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




occurs. The distinction between the saccular stage and the alveolar stage is arbitrary. The
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




alveolar stage stretches from 39 weeks of gestation to term. This stage is represented by the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




establishment of alveoli.
ss ss ss




REF: pp. 3-5 ss ss




2. Regarding postnatal lung growth, by approximately what age do most of the alveoli ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




that will be present in the lungs for life develop?
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




a. 6 months ss

,b. 1 years s




c. 1.5 years ss




d. 2 years
s s




ANS: C ss




Most of the postnatal formation of alveoli in the infant occurs over the first 1.5 years of life. At
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




2 years of age, the number of alveoli varies substantially among individuals. After 2 years of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




age, males have more alveoli than do females. After alveolar multiplication ends, the alveoli
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




continue to increase in size until thoracic growth is completed.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




REF: p. 6 ss ss




3. The respiratory therapist is evaluating a newborn with mild respiratory distress due
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




to tracheal stenosis. During which period of lung development did this problem develop?
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




a. Embryonal

b. Saccular

c. Canalicular

d. Alveolar



ANS: A ss




The initial structures of the pulmonary tree develop during the embryonal stage. Errors in
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




development during this time may result in laryngeal, tracheal, or esophageal atresia or stenosis.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




Pulmonary hypoplasia, an incomplete development of the lungs characterized by an abnormally
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




low number and/or size of bronchopulmonary segments and/or alveoli, can develop during the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




pseudoglandular phase. If the fetus is born during the canalicular phase (i.e., prematurely), severe
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




respiratory distress can be expected because the inadequately developed airways, along with
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




insufficient and immature surfactant production by alveolar type II cells, gives rise to the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




constellation of problems known as infant respiratory distress syndrome.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss

4. Which of the following mechanisms is (are) responsible for the possible
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




association between oligohydramnios and lung hypoplasia?
ss ss ss ss ss ss




I. Abnormal carbohydrate metabolism ss ss




II. Mechanical restriction of the chest wall ss ss ss ss ss




III. Interference with fetal breathing ss ss ss




IV. Failure to produce fetal lung liquid ss ss ss ss ss




a. I and III only
ss ss ss




b. II and III only
ss ss ss




c. I, II, and IV only
ss ss ss ss




d. II, III, and IV only
ss ss ss ss




ANS: D ss




Oligohydramnios, a reduced quantity of amniotic fluid present for an extended period of time,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




with or without renal anomalies, is associated with lung hypoplasia. The mechanisms
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




by which amniotic fluid volume influences lung growth remain unclear. Possible explanations
s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




for reduced quantity of amniotic fluid include mechanical restriction of the chest wall,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




interference with fetal breathing, or failure to produce fetal lung liquid. These clinical and
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




experimental observations possibly point to a common denominator, lung stretch, as being a
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




major growth stimulant.
