Abdominal Cavity 1 Flashcards
What does the ectoderm form in the gut?
Anus (proctodeum) and mouth (stomodeum)
What does the mesoderm form in the gut
Splanchnic mesoderm: muscles, muscular walls, and most connective tissues including bones
What does endoderm form in gut?
Lining of gut and most gut derived organs
What is function of yolk sac?
Provides nourishment for baby before placenta is formed.
Also forms respiratory tract, genitourinary system and gastrointestinal tract.
What comprises the foregut?
Stomodeum to first 1/3 of duodenum.
Arterial Supply is celiac trunk
Also gives rise to pharyngeal pouches
Contents of the midgut?
Last 2/3 of duodnum to proximal 2/3 of colon.
Arterial supply is superior mesenteric artery
Gives rise to yolk stalk
Contents of the hindgut?
Last 1/3 of colon to proctodeum.
Arterial supply: inferior mesenteric artery
Gives rise to allantois
What is recanalization?
Hollowing of the primitive gut tube. Done at vacuoles. Errors cause atresia (blockage) or stenosis (narrowing)
The mesentaries are composed of what?
Double layer of peritoneum derived from splanchnic mesoderm. Have parietal and visceral components.
What does the ventral mesentary disintegrate into?
falciform ligament: from liver to ventral body wall
coronary ligament: liver to diaphragm.
lesser omentum from liver to stomach and duodenum. not attached to body wall.
An organ suspended in the mesentary is called _________
intraperitoneal (stomach, spleen, transverse colon)
An organ that has always been behind the peritoneum is called __________
Primarily retroperitoneal (esophagus, rectum, anal canal, kidneys)
An organ that has developed in mesentary and is now behind mesentary due to rotation and mesentaric fusing is called _____________
Secondarily retroperitoneal (distal 2/3 of duodenum, ascending and descending colon)
What mnemonic is good for knowing what is retroperitoneal?
Suprarenal glands
Aorta, vena cava
Duodenum (2nd and 3rd)
Pancreas Ureters Colon (asc and desc) Kidneys Esophagus Rectum
What comprises the foregut?
Pharynx, esophagus, stomach and proximal 1/3 of duodenum
