9 22 Embriology of the gut tube-Table 1 Flashcards
what is the GI tract largly made of
the endoderm
what does the endoderm contribute to in the GI?
the epithelial lining of the gut and the epithelial components of the glands
what does the mesoderm contribute to in the GI tract?
muslces, connective tissue, mesentaries and mesenchymal components of glands
what does the ectorderm contribute to?
epithelium of mouth and anus enteric gagnlia
what is the sheet of mesoderm that suspends the gut tube in the middle of the body tube?
the splanchnic mesoderm
what lines the primitive gut
the splanchnic mesoderm or the visceral serous membrane
what is derived from the visceral serous membrane and extends the lenght of the gut
the dorsal mesentery
what does the dorsal mesentery serve for?
the pathway for blood vessels, nerve and lymphatics suppling the GI kltract
what are the divisions of the GI tract?
the pharynx; respiratory diverticulum; stomach; liver cords; gall bladder; Midgut; hindgut
what provides blood to the stomach
the celiac artery
what provides blood to the intestine nearer the stomach
the superior mesenteric artery
what provides blood to the hindgut
the inferior mesenteric
the gut tube starts out hollow and the cells proliferate and fill the tube, how does it becoem a tube again?
the cells cavitate out again to form a larger but again hollow tube!
What can be a possible result of caviation of the gut that goes wrong?
diverticulus, or a stenosis (a small out growth or a narrowing.)
how can we get areas of the GI tract that undergo atresia
defective cavitation; malrotation can cuase twisting of the mesentaries, resulting in loss of blood supply and subsequent necrosis of the gut.
what is a mesontary
a connective layer of tissue from an organ to the walls of the cavity etc.
what is unique for the stomach mesoderm?
there is a ventral mesontary as well as the dorsal mesontary
how do we form the stomach
twisting of the tube about 90 degrees, and differential growth on one side of the tube
what is volvulus in the stomach
malrotation can result in this, portion of the stomach rotate abnormally, result in abnormal twisting.
what can volvulus lead to?
lead to obstruction due to twisting of GI tube, and ischemia due to twisting of the mesenteries and interruption of the blood supply
