Ab 1 - Embryology Flashcards
This germ layer forms the integument and the nervous system, including the proctodeum and the stomodeum
ectoderm
This germ layer forms the muscles, muscular walls of the gut tube and most connective tissues, including bones, etc
mesoderm
This germ layer forms the lining of the gut and most gut-derived organs
endoderm
What structure gives rise to gonads?
yolk stalk or omphaloenteric duct
What’s the purpose of the yolk sac (umbilical vesicle) during the first few weeks of development?
it provides nutrients for embryo before the placenta attaches to uterine wall
What structure functions as the primordial gut?
umbilical vesicle
What is the arterial supply to the foregut?
celiac trunk
What is the arterial supply to the midgut?
superior mesenteric artery (SMA)
What is the arterial supply to the hindgut?
inferior mesenteric artery (IMA)
What constitutes as the foregut?
stomodeum to the first third of the duodenum
What separates the stomodeum from foregut?
oropharyngeal membrane
What constitutes as the midgut?
last two-thirds of duodenum to the proximal two-third of the colon
What constitutes as the hindgut?
last third of colon to protodeum
What gut division gives rise to the yolk stalk?
midgut
What gut division gives rise to allantois?
hindgut
What gut division gives rise to pharyngeal pouches?
foregut
Process of hollowing out primitive gut tube
recanalization
Which forms first, stomodeum or protodeum?
protodeum
Double layer of peritoneum formed by splanchnic mesoderm which connects organs to the body wall
mesenteries
What are the two types of peritoneum?
1) parietal
2) visceral
Which peritoneum lines body cavity?
parietal
Which peritoneum lines organs?
visceral
What are the two types of mesenteries?
1) ventral
2) dorsal
What are the remnants of ventral mesentery (3)?
1) falciform ligament
2) coronary ligament
3) lesser omentum
What type of configuration is this, organ suspended in the mesentery?
intraperitoneal
What type of configuration is this, organ have always been external to the peritoneum?
primarily retroperitoneal (always behind peritoneum)
What type of configuration is this, organs may have developed in the mesentery and due to rotation and mesenteric fusing during development they are ow behind the mesentery?
secondarily retroperitoneal
Give three examples of intraperitoneal organs
1) stomach
2) spleen
3) transverse colon
What mnemonic is used to remember retroperitoneal organs?
