The canalicular phase follows the pseudoglandular phase, lasting from approximately 1

7 weeksl7 l7
aato 26 weeks of gestation. This phase is so named because of the appearance of vascular c

hannels, aa o aar capillaries, which begin to grow by forming a

s 29 to 36
l7 aa aa of gestation, is characterized by the development of sacs that later
l7 l7 l 7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 7 l
aa become alveoli. During the sa

aagas-
exchanging surface area occurs. The distinction between the saccular stage and the alveo l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
lar l7
aastage is arbitrary. The alveolar stage stretches from 39 weeks of gestation to term. This
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 7 l
stage aais represented by the establishment of alveoli. aa

Most of the postnatal formation of alveoli in the infant occurs over the first 1.5 years of life
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
. At 2
l7 l7 l7
aayears of age, the number of alveoli varies substantially among individuals. After 2 years
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 7
, of age, aamales have more alveoli than do females.

aa After alveolar multiplication ends, the alveoli continu
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
aae to increase in size until thoracic growth is completed. aa
