Cranio-caudal and lateral folding occur simultaneously. Briefly compare what each of these processes achieve.

A

Laterally
• Creates ventral body wall
• Primitive gut becomes tubular

Craniocaudally
• Creates cranial & caudal pockets from yolk sac endoderm (beginning primitive gut development)

Q

what is the peritoneal membrane and cavity?

A

• the peritoneal membrane lines the abdominal cavity a invests the viscera
o during development it grows, changes shape & specialises
o the peritoneal “cavity” is a potential space only
o under normal conditions it should contain nothing

25
Q

How do mesenteries form?

A

Primitive gut tube suspended within the intraembryonic coelum by splanchnic mesoderm, mesentery formed by condensation of this mesoderm

26
Q

What are the 2 mesenteries present in the embryo and where they found?

A
  • Dorsal mesentery suspends the entire gut tube from the dorsal body wall
  • Ventral mesentery ONLY in the region of the foregut
27
Q

How does the dorsal and ventral mesentery divide the cavity in the foregut region and what do these then contribute to?

A

• Dorsal and ventral mesenteries in the region of the foregut divide the cavity into left and right sacs in this region only
o the left sac contributes to the greater sac
o the right sac becomes the lesser sac

28
Q

Where is the lesser sac located?

A

posterior to the stomach

29
Q

Describe how the liver, gallbladder and spleen form

A

Cranial portion of an anterior bud off the ventral mesentery becomes the liver
The caudal portion of it becomes the gallbladder
The spleen develops in the dorsal mesentery
Foregut rotates 90 degrees clockwise, such that the liver ends up on the right and spleen ends up on the left

30
Q

What is the greater omentum formed from and what does it attach to?

A

Formed from the dorsal mesentery and attaches to greater curve of the stomach - folds back and attaches to transverse colon

31
Q

What is the lesser omentum formed from and what does it attach to?

A

Formed from ventral mesentery and is attached to lesser curve of the stomach - connecting it to liver

32
Q

what is the association between parietal and visceral peritoneum and pain?

A 
parietal = somatic mesoderm - can localise pain
visceral = splanchnic mesoderm - vague pain
33
Q

What does the free edge of the lesser omentum conduct?

A

Portal triad

34
Q

What connects the anterior abdominal wall to the liver?

A

Falciform ligament

35
Q

What connects the stomach to the spleen?

A

gastrosplenic ligament

36
Q

What connects the posterior abdominal wall to the spleen?

A

Spleno-renal/lienorenal ligament

37
Q

What connects the greater sac to the lesser sac (of the peritoneal cavity)?

A

foramen of winslow/ Epiploic foramen

38
Q

What connects the lesser curve of stomach to the liver?

A

lesser omentum

39
Q

What influences position of greater/lesser sacs and how are the omenta formed?

A

Due to rotation of stomach during development

40
Q

What is the effect of rotation of the stomach on the vagus nerves?

A

Left vagus comes to lie anterior to stomach, right vagus comes to lie posterior to stomach

41
Q

What other consequences of rotation of stomach?

A
  • Shifts cardia and pylorus from the midline
  • Stomach comes to lie obliquely
  • Contributes to moving the lesser sac behind the stomach
  • Creates the greater omentum
42
Q

What is the first structure seen when the abdominal wall is opened up anteriorly?

A

Greater omentum

43
Q

What is a peritoneal reflection?

A

A change in direction (i.e. change from parietal to mesentery or mesentery to visceral)

44
Q

What are retroperitoneal structures (with reference to mesentery)?

A

Were never in the peritoneal cavity and never had a mesentery

45
Q

What are secondary retroperitoneal structures?

A

Began development invested by peritoneum and had a mesentery but with growth and development the mesentery is lost through fusion at the posterior abdominal wall. They can be mobilised

46
Q

Which part of the primitive gut tube forms the foregut?

A

From the lung bud to the liver bud

47
Q

What is the lung bud?

A

In 4th week, a respiratory diverticulum forms from the ventral wall of the foregut at the junction with the pharyngeal gut

48
Q

What separates the foregut from the developing respiratory tract(lung bud)?

A

Tracheoesophageal septum

49
Q

what is formed when the Tracheoesophageal septum seperates the lung bud?

A

trachea and oesophagus

• Respiratory primordium (ventrally)
• Oesophagus (dorsally)
o Separation of the developing GI and respiratory tracts

50
Q

Why might abnormalities occur during development of the respiratory tract?

A

Abnormal positioning of the tracheoesophageal septum (e.g. blind ended oesophagus, with tracheoesophageal fistula)

51
Q

What happens to the gut tube in week 5? When does this resolve?

A

Endoderm rapidly proliferates, which causes the gut tube to temporarily occlude
It recanalises in week 9

52
Q

What does the liver and biliary system develop within?

A

Ventral mesentery

53
Q

What does the pancreas develop within?

A

Unicate process and inferior head within the ventral mesentery. Superior head, neck and body within the dorsal mesentery

54
Q

What are 2 major peritoneal reflections of the liver and what do they form from?

A

Lesser omentum on posterior surface and falciform ligament on anterior surface (both part of ventral mesentery?)

55
Q

Describe the development of the duodenum

A

• Develops from caudal foregut and cranial midgut

56
Q

What determines the shape of the duodenum?

A

Rotation of the stomach, which pushes it to the right and then against the posteior abdominal wall (becomes secondary retroperitoneal)

57
Q

What are secondary retroperitoneal structures of the foregut?

A

Dudenum (except the duodenal cap) and pancreas

58
Q

What is fusion fascia?

A

Fusion of the mesentery with parietal peritoneum (on posterior abdominal wall)

59
Q

What creates the curves of the stomach?

A

Stomach enlarges greater on the posterior/dorsal aspect

60
Q

decribe rotation of stomach

A

stomach and foregut rotates 90 degrees clockwise
