Introduction
This site mainly focuses on prenatal development, but the respiratory system is one of those that continues to grow and change postnatally. This page includes some topics related to this postnatal development.
Some Recent Findings
References | Recent References
Alveolar Stage
- The postnatal lung, with alveoli forming.
- Expansion of gas exchange alveoli, vascular beds (capillaries), lymphatics and innervation.
Alveoli
- At birth about 15% of adult alveoli number have formed
- 20 - 50 million to in the adult about 300 million.
- remaining subdivisions develop in the first few postnatal years
- Alveoli Number
Respiratory Rate
- neonatal rate is higher (30-60 breaths/minute) than adult (12-20 breaths/minute).
- tachypnea - (Greek, rapid breathing) an increased respiratory rate of greater than 60 breaths/minute in a quiet resting baby
Age | Rate (breaths/minute) |
Infant (birth - 1 year) | 30 - 60 |
Toddler (1 - 3 years) | 24 - 40 |
Preschool (3 - 6 years) | 22 - 34 |
School age (6 - 12 years) | 18 - 30 |
Adolescent (12 - 18 years) | 12 - 16 |
Rib Orientation
Infant Rib
- lies virtually horizontal
- allowing diaphragmatic breathing only.
Adult Rib
- lies oblique (both anterior and lateral views)
- allows for both pump-handle and bucket handle types of inspiration.
