Q

what is the primitive gut tube suspended in? by what?

Q

what is the blood supply to the duodenum (distal to entry of bile duct)? what is it branch of?

A

inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (branch of superior mesenteric artery)

23
Q

what is the blood supply to the head of the pancreas?

A

superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (CT) and inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (SMA)

24
Q

what do the somatic and splanchnic mesoderm go onto become?

A

somatic (top) - body

splanchnic (bottom) - viscera

25
Q

where is the intraembryonic coelom?

A

between somatic and splanchnic mesoderm

post lateral folding, becomes space around suspending (splanchnic mesoderm) gut tube

26
Q

how does the intraembryonic coelom begin?

A

as one large cavity (entire length of developing embryo)

27
Q

what happens later on to intraembryonic coelom?

A

subdivided by future diaphragm into abdominal and thoracic cavities

28
Q

what does the peritoneal membrane line?

A

the abdominal cavity and invests the viscera

29
Q

what happens to the peritoneal cavity during development?

A

it grows, changes shape and specialises

30
Q

what does the peritoneum invest?

A

dorsal & ventral body wall & primitive gut tube (peritoneum = abdominal cavity)

31
Q

what is the peritoneal ‘cavity’?

A

a potential space

32
Q

under normal conditions, what does the peritoneal cavity contain?

A

should contain nothing, only serous fluid to ensure structures can move smoothly over each other

33
Q

what are the mesenteries?

A

a double layer of peritoneum suspending the gut tube from the abdominal wall

34
Q

where do the mesenteries run?

A

entire length of the posterior (dorsal) body wall

35
Q

what is the purpose of the mesenteries?

A
  1. allow a conduit for blood and nerve supply
  2. allow mobility where needed
    (way in and out of GI tract, allow arterial supply to access newly developed structures)
36
Q

what is the new primitive gut suspended within?

A

the intraembryonic coelom by splanchnic mesoderm (inner) - wraps around gut to tube to form mesenteries (double layer from lateral folding)

37
Q

how does the mesentery form? (suspending gut tube)

A

mesentery formed from a condensation of the (double layer of) splanchnic mesoderm

38
Q

what causes dorsal and ventral mesoderm?

A

folding of the double layer of splanchnic mesoderm

39
Q

what does dorsal mesentery suspend?

A

the entire gut tube from the dorsal body wall

40
Q

where is the ventral mesentery present?

A

only in the region of the foregut

41
Q

what is the function of the dorsal and ventral mesenteries in the region of the foregut?

A

to divide the cavity into left and right sacs in this region only

42
Q

what does the left sac contribute to?

A

greater sac

43
Q

what does the right sac become?

A

lesser sac

44
Q

where is the lesser sac situated?

A

lies behind the stomach (potential sac behind the stomach)

45
Q

what do midgut and hindgut have in terms of sac?

A

only have dorsal mesentery, so 1 continuous sac - no ventral mesentery

46
Q

what are omenta?

A

specialised regions of peritoneum

47
Q

what is the greater omentum formed from?

A

dorsal mesentery

48
Q

when is greater omentum seen?

A

first structure seen when the abdominal cavity is opened anteriorly

49
Q

what is the lesser omentum formed from?

A

ventral mesentery

50
Q

what do the free edge of the lesser omentum conduct?

A

the portal triad

51
Q

what is the portal triad?

A
part of the hepatic lobule (liver), consists of:
proper hepatic artery
proper hepatic vein
common bile duct
lymphatic vessels
branch of vagus nerve
52
Q

where does the greater omentum extend from?

A

large fold of visceral peritoneum hanging from greater curvature of stomach, passes anterior to small intestines and reflects on itself to ascend to transverse colon to reach posterior abdominal wall

53
Q

where does the lesser omentum extend?

A

from lesser curvature to 1st part of duodenum to inferior surface of liver all the way up to anterior abdominal wall
