3: Development of Gut / Salivation and Swallowing Flashcards
What does the folding in week 4 and 5 create? (3 things)
- Primitive Gut
- Abdominal Wall
- Coleomic Cavity
What does the lateral folding do?
Makes primitive gut become tubular
What are the 3 regions of the primitive gut?
- Foregut
- Midgut
- Hindut
What surrounds the gut?
Mesoderm
What does the mesoderm split into?
- Somatic MEsoderm
- Splanchninc Mesoderm
What does the somatic mesoderm develop into?
Muscle and fasciae of abdominal wall
What does the splanchnic mesoderm develop into?
SM of gut wall
What is the space created by the mesoderm split caled?
Coleomic cavity (intraembryonic cavity)
What is the coleomic cavity the forerunner of?
Pleural and peritoneal cavities
What does the coleomic cavity surround?
Gut cavity
What does the rotation of the mid-gut loop establish?
Disposition of abdominal viscera (internal organs)
What does the first rotation of the midgut loop do?
Lengthens small and large intestines
What does the second rotation of the midgut loop do? (2 things)
- Puts small and large intestines in position
- Gives mesentry of small intestine its twisted appearance
When and where does the hindgut end?
At cloaca
Week 6
What happens after the hindgut ends at the cloaca?
Cloaca undergoes anteroposterior division
Wedge of mesoderm fold (urorectal fold) grows down and splits cloaca:
- Anteriorly: Urogenital Sinus + Urethra
- Posteriorly: Anorectal Canal
Where is the superior part of the anal canal derived from?
Hindgut
Where is the inferior part of the anal canal derived from?
Endoderm
Where do the superior and inferior parts of the anal canal meet?
Pectinate line
What is the Vitelline Duct?
Tube that connects yolk sac to midgut lumen
Supposed to obliterate but can persist → causes problems
What are the problems that occur if the Vitelline Duct persists? (3 things)
- Meckel’s Divericulum
- Vitelline Cyst
- Vitelline Fistula
What is Meckel’s Diverticulum? (3 points)
- Vitelline duct bulges out from small intestine
- Contains ectopic gastric / pancreatic tissue
- Ectopic tissue secrets enzymes and acids into tissue → ulceration
What is Vitelline Cyst?
Duct forms fibrous strand (of ligaments) on either end
What is Vitelline Fistula?
Direct communication between umbilicus and intestinal tract → faecal matter comes out of umbilicus (belly button)
FFFFFistula iffffeeeee khara leaking out
What happens to the primitive gut if cell growth of some structures is so rapid?
Lumen of primitive gut is obliterated
What restores the obliteration of the primitive gut lumen?
Recanalisation
What is recanalisation?
Restoration of the lumen of the primitive gut
What occurs if recanalisation of the primitive gut lumen is unsuccesful? (2 things)
- Aterisa: complete loss of lumen
- Stenosis: narrowing of lumen
What is pyloric stenosis?
Narrowing of the exit of the stomach
