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

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

d the air passages. During the pseudoglandular stage, which begins at day 52 and exten
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO



ds to week 16 of gestation, the airway system subdivides extensively and the conducting

airway system develops, ending with the terminal bronchioles. The saccular stage of de

velopment, which takes place from weeks 29 to 36 of gestation, is characterized by the

development of sacs thatlater become alveoli. During the saccular phase, a tremendous i
