acinus
Tremendous amount
of vasularization
Outpouchings appear
on wall of bronchioles
Canalicular Period (continued)

Two types of cells
start to differentiate
Capillaries present but
too far away from
alveolar cavity
Saccular (Alveolar) Period



24th week - birth
Development of gas
exchange units
25th-26th week
alveolar-capillary
membrane able to
sustain extrauterine
life
Saccular Period (continued)



28-29th week
terminal sacs line with
mature Type II cells surfactant appears
34-36th week
mature alveolar
structure evident
approximately 55
million alveoli (10 m2)
Surfactant

Composition
 Phospholipids and Protein
Phosphoatidylcholine (Lecithin) – Major
surfactant appears at 18 weeks and peaks at 38
weeks
Sphingomyelin – Surfactant found in the
amniotic fluid (decreases after 30 weeks)

Production
 Secreted by Type II Alveolar Cells
Fetal Lung Fluid

Composition
 Different than amniotic fluid
 Decreased levels of bicarbonate and
protein
 Increased levels of Sodium and Chloride
Fetal Lung Fluid cont.

Function: Maintain patency
Term = 20-30 ml/kg in lungs
Production decreases days prior to clinical
detection of labor
Hazards of Retention
TTN – Transient tachypnea of the newborn
 May present as RDS
 Grunting, flaring and retracting (GFR)

Determination of Lung Maturity
Shake (Foam) Test
 LS ratio (Lecithin to sphingomyelin ratio)
 Lungs mature when 2:1 (35 weeks)
 PG detection (Phosphatidylglycerol)
 Lipid
 Absent until about 35 weeks gestation

Lung Maturity Cont.
FLM or FP Assay – Fluorescence
Polarization
 Surfactant to Albumin
 Quick and Reliable
 Lung Profile
 L:S and PG detection

Conditions that Delays
Surfactant Production
 Acidemia
 Mechanical
Ventilation
 Hypercapnia
 Shock
 Maternal
 Overinflation
Diabetes
(A,B,C)
 Underinflation
 Smaller of Twins
 Pulmonary Edema
 Hypoxia
Conditions that Accelerate
Surfactant Production
Maternal diabetes
(D, F, and R)
 Maternal heroin
addiction
 Premature rupture of
membranes
 Maternal
hypertension

Maternal infection
 Placental
insufficiency
 Betamethasone or
thyroid hormone
 Abruptio placentae

Development of the
Cardiovascular System
Development of Cardiovascular System


3rd week - two tubes
surrounded by
myocardial tissue
Tubes fuse form single
chamber
Development of Cardiovascular System
(continued)



4th week - heart
begins to beat
Heart begins to twist
and fold
Eventually will form
four chambers
Development of Cardiovascular System
(continued)


Sinus venosus - horns
at bottom of
embryonic heart - will
become vena cava’s
and portion of right
atrium
Truncus arteriosus will form pulmonary
artery and aorta
Development of Cardiovascular System
(continued)




Bends in middle - S
shape
Rapid growth
Development of
chambers
Blood flow begins one way flow
Development of Cardiovascular System
(continued)



5th week - heart takes
on shape of adult heart
Developing veins and
arteries couple the
heart to circulatory
system
Separate blood paths
created
Development of Cardiovascular System
(continued)


Four chambers formed
with openings between
the atria and the
ventricles
Truncus arteriosus
allows blood to exit
right ventricle
Fetal Circulation

Pressure in the fetal vasculature
 Systemic – Low resistance
 Placental – Low resistance
 Pulmonary – High resistance
Characteristics of Fetal
Circulation

Normal shunts in the fetus
 Foramen ovale – bypasses lung
 Ductus arteriosus – bypasses lung
 Ductus venosus – bypasses liver
Fetal Circulation



Flow chart of the most
oxygenated fetal blood
Bypasses liver ductus venosus
Bypasses lungs foramen ovale
Fetal Circulation (continued)



Flowchart of
least oxygenated
fetal blood
Small amount
feed lungs (high
resistance)
Most bypasses
lungs - ductus
arteriosus
Development of Intrauterine
Structures
Placenta
 Umbilical cord
 Amnion
 Amniotic fluid

Placental Development




Placenta organ of
respiration for fetus
Umbilical arteries carry
unoxygenated blood from
fetus
Intervillous space acts as
alveolar-capillary
membrane
Umbilical vein carries
oxygenated blood to fetus
Umbilical Cord
Life line
 Wharton’s Jelly
 2 arteries and 1 vein

Amnion
Sac surrounding fetus containing amniotic
fluid
 Possible rupture can occur in utero

Amniotic Fluid
1 liter at term
 Constantly recirculated and replenished
through lung fluid and urination
 Amount of fluid depends on recirculation

Function of Amniotic Fluid
Thermoregulation
 Facilitation of movement

fluid ( greater than 200cc’s)

 CNS malformation
 Orogastric malformation
• Esophageal atresia
• Pyloric stenosis
Abnormalities Cont.

Causes of polyhydramnios cont.

prematurity
Amniotic Fluid Abnormalities
Cont.

