MULTIPLE CHOICE 9i




1. Which of the following phases of human lung development is characterized by the
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



formation of a capillary network around airway passages?
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




a. Pseudoglandular

b. Saccular

c. Alveolar

d. Canalicular



ANS: D 9i




The canalicular phase follows the pseudoglandular phase, lasting from approximately 17 weeks t
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


o 26 weeks of gestation. This phase is so named because of the appearance of vascular channels,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



or capillaries, which begin to grow by forming a capillary network around the air passages.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



During the pseudoglandular stage, which begins at day 52 and extends to week 16 of gestation, t
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


he airway system subdivides extensively and the conducting airway system develops, ending wit
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



h the terminal bronchioles. The saccular stage of development, which takes place from weeks 29
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



to 36 of gestation, is characterized by the development of sacs that later become alveoli.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



During the saccular phase, a tremendous increase in the potential gas-
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


exchanging surface area occurs. The distinction between the saccular stage and the alveolar stag
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



e is arbitrary. The alveolar stage stretches from 39 weeks of gestation to term. This stage is repr
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



esented by the establishment of alveoli.

2. Regarding postnatal lung growth, by approximately what age do most of the alveoli that
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



will be present in the lungs for life develop?
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




a. 6 months 9i

,b. 1 year 9i




c. 1.5 years 9i




d. 2 years 9i




ANS: C 9i




Most of the postnatal formation of alveoli in the infant occurs over the first 1.5 years of life. At 2
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


years of age, the number of alveoli varies substantially among individuals. After 2 years of age,
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



males have more alveoli than do females. After alveolar multiplication ends, the alveoli continue
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



to increase in size until thoracic growth is completed.

3. The respiratory therapist is evaluating a newborn with mild respiratory distress due to
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



tracheal stenosis. During which period of lung development did this problem develop?
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




a. Embryonal

b. Saccular

c. Canalicular

d. Alveolar

4. Which of the following mechanisms is (are) responsible for the possible association
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



between oligohydramnios and lung hypoplasia?
