During the development of the respiratory system in domestic animals, from which embryonic layer is the epithelium of the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and alveoli derived?

Which embryological structure acts as the partition that separates the primitive trachea from the esophagus during the fourth week of development?

In veterinary embryology, the cartilages and muscles of the larynx are derived from the mesenchyme of which specific structures?

In the developing fetal lung, which specific stage of maturation is characterized by the formation of respiratory bronchioles and the initial appearance of surfactant production by Type II pneumocytes?

The pulmonary surfactant, which reduces surface tension and prevents the collapse of alveoli during expiration, is produced by which specific cell type in the developing fetal lung?

Which developmental anomaly occurs when the tracheoesophageal septum fails to deviate properly or fuse, leading to a communication between the respiratory and digestive tracts?

During the development of the lungs, the pleural cavities are formed when the lung buds grow into which specific anatomical space?

The connective tissue, cartilage, and smooth muscle of the mammalian trachea are derived from which specific embryonic source?

At which specific stage of lung development do the terminal sacs (primitive alveoli) form and the blood-air barrier becomes sufficiently established to allow for the potential survival of a premature neonate?

The respiratory diverticulum (lung bud) first appears as an outgrowth from the ventral wall of which part of the primitive gut?
