Lungs
An introduction to the lungs...
On this page, we will be exploring the development of the lungs through the stages of embryonic growth.
Lung Anatomy
Lung Histology
Developmental origin overview
Brief overview of development of lung
More detailed overview in lung development stages
The Respiratory Zone
The Terminal Bronchioles
Alveolar ducts
Alveoli
The Conducting Zone
The Lung Development Stages
Developmental timeline
Developmental signalling processes
Chemicals involved in the development of lungs. Growth factors that contribute to branching of lungs - SHH and fibroblast growth factor as well as any other hormones or factors that are relevant to lung development
The development of a mammalian lung is a multi-step and highly complex process involving signalling pathways.
The conducting system
Branching of lungs Different types of branching - domain branching, planar bifurcation, trifurcation, orthogonal bifurcation.
The mammalian lung develops through branching morphogenesis.
Alveolus: the functional unit
How the alveoli work. Cell types Maturation and development Lungs become fully developed within the mother, however they do not function until birth.
Current understandings and areas of research
include any relevant articles
