respiratory system
• in absence of lung formation, the pulmonary vascular plexus persists throughout embryonic development, but does not branch or develop further
|
• lungs fail to develop from the foregut

• lung agenesis is found in embryos examined at E13.5 and E17.5

• although no lungs develop, heart development and outflow and inflow tract structures are relatively normal, including atrial septation, septation between aorta and the pulmonary trunk, and atrioventricular canal development
|
• primitive non-branched pulmonary arteries which flank the esophagus and originate from the pulmonary trunk persist in E17.5 embryos
• pulmonary veins and pulmonary arteries develop and intersect at approximate location where a lung bud would be present in a normal embryo

• in absence of lung formation, the pulmonary vascular plexus persists throughout embryonic development, but does not branch or develop further
