AB  - This  chapter  focuses  on  the  mechanisms  that  control  the  development  of  the  respiratory  system  from  specification  of  the  progenitors  of  the  primordial  lung  to  the  formation  of  the  definitive  alveoli.  The  respiratory  system  is  characterized  not  only  by  its  major  diversity  in  cellular  phenotypes,  but  also  by  its  complex  3D  architecture  in  both  the  airway  and  alveolar  compartments  designed  to  conduct  air  and  facilitate  gas  exchange.  Its  network  of  conduits  comprises  the  trachea  and  extrapulmonary  and  intrapulmonary  airways  formed  by  multiple  generations  of  branching  epithelial  tubules.
