Pulmonary arterial development during childhood: branching pattern and structure
AUTOR(ES)
Hislop, Alison
RESUMO
In lungs from 18 children aged between birth and 11 years the development of the branching pattern and structure of the pulmonary arteries, particularly the intralobular and intra-acinar, has been quantitatively analysed after injection with a radio-opaque medium. Up to 18 months of age as new alveolar ducts appear conventional arterial branches develop within the acinus: supernumerary arteries increase in number up to 8 years as new alveoli form. Both types increase in size with age.
