01a GI Devo Flashcards
Foregut structures
oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, proximal duodenum, thyroid, lung, liver, pancreas
Precursor of muscle, connective tissue, and other layers of gut wall (not including epithelium
Splanchnic mesoderm
Midgut structures
distal duoodenum, jeunum, ileum, caecum, appendix, ascending colon, proximal transverse colon
Hindgut structures
Distal transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon
Gut wall layers
Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscularis
Adventitia
Mucosa subdivisions
Epithelium
Lamina propria
Muscularis mucosae
Submucosa contents
loose collagenous and adipose tissue, large vessels and lympphatics
INNERVATED BY MEISSNERS - submucosal PLEXUS
Muscularis externa contents
Inner circular smooth muscle
Outer longitudinal smooth muscle
Some striated muscle at proximal esophagus
INNERVATED BY AUERBACH’s- Myenteric plexus
Vagus trunk rotation
Left —> anterior
Right —> posterior
Lesser sac
space behind the stomach
Also called omental bursa
Esophageal and duodenal development
Epithelial cells proliferate to occlude lumen and then recannalize
When does development of the stomach occurr
4-7 wks
28-48 days
When does gastrulation occur?
Week 3
Primary intestinal loop
Midgut loop: divided into cranial and caudal limbs, herniates through umbilical stalk
Cranial- becomes distal duodenum through ileum
Caudal- forms caecum-transverse colon
How to tell foregut, midgut, and hindgut apart embryonically
Foregut- supplied by cephalic trunk
Midgut- Supplied by SMA
Hindgut- supplied by IMA
