Q

What causes the folding?

A

The ectoderm (and mesoderm) cells proliferate much faster outwards than the endoderm so it wraps AROUND and down

Q

What happens to the yolk sac?

A

Q

Longitudinal Folding?

A
  • draws the opening of the gut tube to the yolk sac closed (like a purse string)
  • divides the anterior gut tube and posteiror gut tube (fore and hindgut) while the midgut remains open to the yolk sac
  • further longitudinal folding means the communication with the yolk sac gets smaller and the regions become more refined

Q

Describe what happens to the lumen of the gut tube during development

A

Initially patent. As the epithelium proliferates it plugs up the lumen of the gut tube. At week 8 by the end of the embryonic period recanalization occurs, it loses patency and re-opens

Q

Describe the development of the oesophagus

A
  • is immediately caudal to the pharynx
  • partitions/divides from the trachea (ventral)/respiratory diverticulum
  • initially short but rapidly elongates
  • also plugs and recananalizes

Q

What are 2 types of oesophagus congenital malformations?

A
  1. Tracheoesophageal Fistual/Artesia

2. Congenital Hiatal Hernia

22
Q

What is a tracheoesophageal fistula?

A

Where there is a CONNECTION between the trachea and oesophagus when they should be partitioned. Is common as they originate from the same tissue.

23
Q

What is a tracheoesophageal artesia?

A

Where there is a BLOCKAGE/the oesophagus ends in a blind ended pouch. It results commonly in a child refluxing milk (not chyme/gastric contents as hasn’t gotten past the oesophagus

24
Q

What causes both an tracheoesopheal artesia and fistua?

A

Incomplete partitioning

25
Q

What is congenital hiatal hernia?

A

It is when a child is born with a short oesophagus. This displaces the stomach cranially and it will herniate through the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm and into the thorax. Occurs when elongation doesn’t occur

26
Q

Stage 1 of stomach development?

A

The gut tube starts to dilate

27
Q

Step 2 of stomach development?

A
  • dilation continues
  • the tube rotates on its long axis 90 degrees clockwise (spins)
  • ventral mesogastrium moves RIGHT
  • dorsal mesogastrium moves LEFT
28
Q

Describe the mesogastrium of the foregut

A

Is attached both ventrally and dorsally to the body wall by mesentery - dorsal/ventral mesogastrium

29
Q

Does the ventral mesogastrium move left or right?

A

RIGHT

30
Q

… boundary becomes superior and the … curvature

A

Right/ventral boundary becomes superior and becomes the lesser curvature medially

31
Q

The … side of the stomach moves inferior and becomes the … curvature

A

Dorsal

Greater curvature laterally

32
Q

How is the greater omentum formed?

A
  • dorsal mesogastrium is dragged round by rotation of stomach and begins to hang down under gravity and reflects back onto itself
  • the 2 folds fuse as well as with the transverse colon mesentery forming the GASTROCOLIC ligament
33
Q

how many layers is the greater omentum?

A

4 layers of peritoneum

34
Q

What is 1 congenital malformation of the stomach?

A

Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis

35
Q

Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis?

A
  • Is a marked thickness of the muscular wall of the pylorus
  • can result in spasming at the end of the stomach
  • blocks exit into 1st part of the duodenum
  • results in non-billius vomitting (no bile)
  • can occur in adults due to chronic peptic ulcers > inflammation > swelling > stenosis in pyloris
36
Q

How does the liver and biliary tree arise?

A

As a ventral outgrowth called the hepatic diverticulum

37
Q

Large, cranial division of the hepatic diverticulum …

A

Liver

38
Q

Smaller caudal division of the hepatic diverticulum

A

Biliary aparatus

39
Q

Bile?

A

Fat emulsifer

40
Q

How do the glandular areas of the gut begin?

A

As diverticulum/blind ended out pouches

41
Q

Where do the liver and gall bladder develop?

A

IN the ventral mesogastrium i.e. between 2 layers of peritoneum

42
Q

Describe the positioning of the bile duct as it develops.

A

The bile duct begins attached to the ventral duodenum. As the duodenum grows and ROTATES, the bile duct position becomes DORSAL

43
Q

Where does the pancreas develop?

A

Between both layers of mesogastrium

44
Q

The pancreas is the … part of the foregut

A

CAUDAL

45
Q

What duct is the main duct of the pancreas and why?

A

The duct from the ventral bud/head of the pancreas through to the bile duct and into the duodenum in order for pancreatic and bile juices to be released together
The ventral pancreatic bud begins anteriorly on the hepatic diverticulum and then rotates around and fuses with the dorsal bud where their ducts anastomose

46
Q

What is the accessory duct?

A

The duct directly from the body/dorsal of the pancreas through to the duodenum. (9% accessory duct remains, may regress or not be present)

47
Q

What is the pancreatic duct?

A

Fusion of the dorsal and ventral ducts at the body/head of the pancreas

48
Q

Ligaments of the foregut

- what ligaments does the ventral mesogastrium go to form?

A
  • faciform ligament between the body wall and liver

- lesser omentum between the liver and stomach/doudenum

49
Q

Ligaments of the foregut

- what ligaments does the dorsal mesogastrium go on to form?

A
  • gastrosplenic ligament and splenorenal ligament
50
Q

is the spleen a foregut structure?

A

NO it is lymphatic. Does develop in the dorsal mesogastrium (meso not endoderm)

51
Q

What is the movement of the midgut during development?

A

270 degrees counter clockwise

> caecum moves from upper right quadrant under liver to lower right
