2.1 Development of the gut 1+2 Flashcards
what are the 3 layers of the trilaminar disc?
ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
what is formed from the ectoderm?
skin hair epidermis nails nerve tissue
what is formed from the endoderm?
inner epithelial lining of GI
respiratory tract
urinary tract
reproductive tract
what 3 segments does the mesoderm develop into?
paraxial mesoderm
intermediate mesoderm
lateral mesoderm
what does the paraxial mesoderm give rise to?
somites
- skeletal muscle
- cartilage
- vertebrae
what does the intermediate mesoderm give rise to?
gonads and kidneys
what does the lateral plate mesoderm give rise to?
splits into two sections.
splanchnic section forms viscera
somatic section forms body tissue
what process does the embryo begin in the 4th week?
lateral folding
craniocaudal folding
what does lateral folding achieve?
creates ventral body wall
primitive gut becomes tubular
what does cranio caudal folding achieve?
creates cranial and caudal pockets from yolk sac endoderm
what are blind diverticula?
the blind ends at the cranial and caudal ends of the primitive gut tube
what is the opening into the umbilicus from the midgut called?
the vitelline duct
what are the 3 embryonic divisions of the primitive gut tube?
foregut
mid gut
hindgut
what are the structures of the foregut
oesophagus stomach pancreas liver bile ducts gallbladder midpoint of the second part of the duodenum lower respiratory tract
what are the structures of the midgut
distal duodenum jejunum ileum caecum ascending colon 2/3 of transverse colon
what are the structures of the hindgut
distal 1/3 of the transverse colon descending colon sigmoid colon rectum upper anal canal cloaca
why is it a problem if the vitelline duct persists after birth ?
- meckels diverticulum - outpouching in small intesting - favoured area for carcinogens
- connection between midgut and umbilicus
what does the intraembryonic coelom form?
the abdominal and thoracic cavities, which are seperated by the developing diphragm
what is the splanchapleuric mesoderm?
where the splanchnic portion of the lateral mesoderm adheres to the endoderm of the gut. Forms viscera
what is the somatopleuric mesoderm?
where the somatic portion of the lateral mesoderm adheres to the ectoderm to create body walls and dermis
what structures are formed from the mesodermal membrane sorrounding the intraembryonic coelom?
pericardium
pleural membrane
peritoneum
