Stenosis - Duodenum doesn’t recanalize enough

Atresia - Duodenum doesn’t recanalize at all

24
Q

What kind of vomiting would you expect in duodenal stenosis or atresia?

A

Bilious vomiting (obstruction is distal to entrance of common bile duct)

25

A

Hepatic diverticulum

26
Q

The hepatic diverticulum is a ventral outgrowth of _____, will eventually form _____

A

Endoderm at caudal end of foregut

Hepatic cords

27
Q

The larger cranial portion of the hepatic diverticulum will form the _____, while the smaller caudal portion will form the _____

A

Cranial > Liver

Caudal - Gallbladder

28
Q

The stalk of the hepatic diverticulum will form the _____ and _____

A

Cystic duct

Common bile duct

29
Q

The majority of the UG system develops from _____

A

Intermediate mesoderm (of Swartz!)

30
Q

_____ arise from intermediate mesoderm and are longitudinal elevations along the dorsal body wall.

A

Nephrogenic cords

31
Q

The _____ is the initial stage of the kidney. It forms and disappears during the 4th week.

A

Pronephros

32
Q

The _____ is the second stage of the kidney. It is composed of mesonephric ducts and tubules.

A

Mesonephros

33
Q

Two parts of the mesonephros?

A

Mesonephric ducts and tubules

34
Q

The mesonephros empties into what embryologic structure?

A

Cloaca

35
Q

The _____ is a definitive kidney composed of two parts: the metanephric diverticulum and the metanephrogenic blastema. It is the third and last stage of the kidney.

A

Metanephros

36
Q

Two parts of the metanephros?

A

Metanephric diverticulum (ureteric bud) - “Collecting system”

Metanephrogenic blastema (metanephric mass) - “Excretory system”

37
Q

The nephron is composed of the renal corpuscle and convoluted tubules. These two parts arise from what part of the metanephros?

A

Metanephric blastema

38
Q

The uriniferous tubule is composed of a nephron and collecting tubules. From what part of the metanephros do these two structures arise?

A

Nephron - Metanephric blastema

Collecting tubules - Metanephric diverticulum

39
Q

The urorectal septum divides the cloaca into the _____ and _____

A

UG sinus

Anorectal canal

40
Q

As the urorectal septum continues to grow towards the cloacal membrane, is forms what three parts of the UG sinus?

A

Vesical part - Forms urinary bladder
