* '''corticosteroid''' - An endocrine steroidal hormone produced by the [[A#adrenal cortex|adrenal cortex]]. Clinically, corticosteroids are also used for lung maturation of the premature neonate. | * '''corticosteroid''' - An endocrine steroidal hormone produced by the [[A#adrenal cortex|adrenal cortex]].

* '''diaphragm''' - A general term for a membranous sheet, used to describe the respiratory diaphragm. The muscular sheet separating chest from abdomen with several different embryonic origins. Regular contraction of the diaphragm is required in respiration. The diaphragm forms initially at the lower end of the [[P#pleuroperitoneal canal|pleuroperitoneal canal]]. (Embryonic origins: [[T#transverse septum|transverse septum]] (septum transversum) - tendon of the diaphragm, 3rd to 5th [[S#somite|somite]] pairs - musculature of diaphragm, ventral pleural sac - connective tissue, mesentry of oesophagus - connective tissue around oesophasus and inferior vena cava, and pleuroperitoneal membranes - connective tissue around [[C#central tendon|central tendon]]) | |||
* '''endoderm''' - (Greek, ''endo'' = inside + ''derma'' = skin) One of the initial 3 germ cell layers ([[E#ectoderm|ectoderm]], [[M#mesoderm|mesoderm]], [[E#endoderm|endoderm]]) formed by the process of [[G#gastrulation|gastrulation]]. The endoderm forms the epithelial lining glands and of the respiratory tract. | |||
* '''epaxial muscle''' - Anatomical term describing [[S#skeletal muscle|skeletal muscles]] which lie dorsal (posterior) to the vertebral column developing from the [[S#somitic|somite]] [[M#myotome|myotome]]. At the ribcage level the levatores costarum muscles involved with rib elevation during respiration. | |||
* '''epiglottis''' - (Greek, ''epi'' = above, upon) cartilaginous part of the larynx above the [[G#glottis|glottis]], which in infancy directs food into the esophagus and not the [[T#trachea|trachea]] . Embryologically it develops in the foregut from the [[H#hypobranchial eminence|hypobranchial eminence]], behind the undeveloped tongue, from which it separates at about 7 weeks. Postnatal anatomical development in humans involves a maturational descent in infancy (4 and 6 months of age). Contains lymphoid tissue (larynx-associated lymphoid tissue, LALT and Bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue, BALT). | |||
* '''Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation''' - (ECMO) an invasive therapy that has been investigated and utilized in newborn infants with cardiorespiratory failure. | |||
