1
Q

describe the development of the primitive gut tube? from where and when does it occur?

16
Q

how is the anal membrane formed?

A

in the 7th week the urorectal septum fuses with the cloacal membrane

17
Q

what happens to the anal membrane in the 8th week and why?

A

The anal membrane ruptures during the 8th week allowing communication between the anal canal and the amniotic fluid.

18
Q

what happens if the anal membrane doesnt rupture and why?

A

‘Imperforate anus’ or ‘anorectal malformation’ - failure of communication of the endodermal and ectodermal portions of anal canal).

19
Q

describe the gut innervation

A

intrinsic NS - vagal and sacral NCC

extrinsic NS - parasympathetic NS (NCC and sacral NCC) and sympathetic (truncal NCC)

20
Q

what modulates the ENS function?

A

extrinsic nerves

21
Q

what is Hirschsprungs disease?

A

a birth defect characterized by the absence of enteric nervous system (ENS) in the terminal part of the intestine.

It causes the colon smooth muscle to be permanently contracted (no nNOS neurons to relax)

22
Q

what are symptoms of Hirschsprung’s disease?

A

failing to pass meconiumwithin 48 hours
a swollen belly
vomiting green fluid (bile)

23
Q

how is Hirschsprung’s disease treated?

A

failing to pass meconiumwithin 48 hours
a swollen belly
vomiting green fluid (bile)

24
Q

what is normal faecal continence maintained by?

A

anal canal
pelvic floor musculature
rectum

25
Q

what is the function of the rectum?

A

store or expel stool both of which require cortical sensory awareness acting in conjunction with intramural and spinal reflexes that ensure timely defaecation

26
Q

what is the function of the anal canal?

A

helps to maintain faecal continence and control defecation

27
Q

what is the purpose of the pelvic floor muscles?

A

divides abdominal cavity from perineum

28
Q

what are the pelvic floor muscles

A

levator ani - puborectalis, pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus

coccygeus

29
Q

what are the functions of puborectalis?

A
  • surrounds the rectum, vagina and urethra

- supports the EAS and assists in creating the anorectal angle

30
Q

what is the puborectalis?

A

passes from the back of puic symphysis to form a U-shaped loop from the rectum to the pbic
striated muscle

31
Q

what muscles help to maintain the anorectal and urinary continence mechanism?

A

iliococcygeus and the ischiococcygeus

help the puborectalis

32
Q

what is pubococcygeus divided into in men and women?

A

men - Pubourethralis, puborectalis

women - Pubovaginalis and puborectalis

33
Q

what is the role of puborectalis?

A

maintain angle between anal canal and rectum

34
Q

what is continence? what is it characterised by?

A

self control - the ability to hold it all in
Got to be full
Have to know that it is full
Got to squeeze it

35
Q

what is faecal continence maintained by?

A 
Anal sphincters
Internal anal sphincter (IAS)
External anal sphincter (EAS)
Pelvic floor muscles
Puborectalis muscle
