3) Development of Foregut Flashcards
What does lateral folding of the embryo achieve?
Creates ventral body wall
Primitive gut becomes tubular
What does craniocaudal folding of the embryo achieve?
Creates cranial and caudal pockets from yolk sac endoderm
What are the three regions of the primitive gut tube?
Foregut
Midgut
Hindgut
Where does the primitive gut tube run from?
From future mouth to future anus with opening at umbilicus
What is the internal lining of the primitive gut tube derived from and what will this become?
Endoderm, will become epithelial lining
What is the external lining of the primitive gut tube derived from and what will this become?
Splanchnic mesoderm
Will become future musculature and visceral peritoneum
What are the adult derivatives of the foregut?
Oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder and duodenum (proximal to bile duct entrance)
What are the adult derivatives of the midgut?
Duodenum (distal to bile duct entrance), jejunum, ileum, caecum, ascending colon, proximal 2/3rds transverse colon
What are the adult derivatives of the hindgut?
Distal 1/3rd transverse colon, descending and sigmoid colon, rectum, upper anal canal and internal lining of bladder & urethra
What is each region of the gut tube’s blood supply?
Foregut - celiac trunk
Midgut - SMA
Hindgut - IMA
What is the intraembryonic coelom divided by?
Diaphragm
What do the abdominal muscles develop from?
Somatic mesoderm
What does the inguinal canal allow?
Passage of developing testis into scrotum
What is a mesentery?
Double layer of peritoneum suspending gut tube from abdominal wall
Why is a mesentery needed?
Blood and nerve supply
Mobility
