Another name for the ventral endodermal envagination that forms the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. laryngotracheal groove
What gives rise to the epithelium and glands of the trachea. Endodermal lining
True or false? Paranasal sinuses are formed when bones are excavated. True
True or false? Surfactant is produced at seven months of fetal development. True
What is a lack of surfactant production called? hyaline membrane disease
True or false? By the time the lung reaches adult maturity, a total of 17 generations of subdivisions form the bronchial tree. False 23 subdivisions (17 prenatally, 6 postnatally)
True or false? Ectopic lung lobes arise from the trachea or esophagus? True (Langman's p207)
True or false? At birth, the tracheal bifurcation lies at T4. True
True or false? Only about 1/6th of the adult alveoli are present at birth. True
True or false? The laryngotracheal groove develops from the pharyngeal floor of the foregut during the 4th week of development. True

Within the primitive pleural cavities, what forms the parietal pleura? Somatic mesoderm
Lung buds and bronchi grow laterally from the laryngotracheal diverticulum and penetrate the _____. Pericardioperitoneal canals
