Body Cavities Flashcards
Rolls up —> CNS
Ectoderm
Rolls down to form gut
Ectoderm
Keeps the two tubes in place
Mesoderm
2 layers of the lateral plate mesoderm
Splanchnic/Visceral
Somatic/Parietal
Rolls ventrally and intimately connected to gut tube
Lateral plate mesoderm
These form the Lateral Body Wall Folds
Somatic/Parietal Lateral Plate Mesoderm + Ectoderm
Lateral Body Wall Folds love
Ventrally and meet in the midline —> closing the Ventral Body Wall
Space bet visceral and parietal layers of the lateral plate mesoderm
Primitive Body Cavity
Where muscles of the ant abd wall come from
Somatic mesoderm
Only site where closure of the ventral body wall is incomplete
Region of connecting stalk (future umbilical cord)
Only site where closure of gut tube is incomplete
Vitelline Duct (yolk sac)
Connection between midgut and yolk sac
Vitelline duct
Serous membranes
Dorsal and ventral mesentery
Where visceral and parietal layers are continuous with one another
A. Dorsal Mesentery
B. Ventral Mesentery
A
Suspends gut tube from posterior body wall into __________
^function of dorsal mesentery
Peritoneal cavity
Extends from caudal limit of the foregut to the end of the hindgut
A. Dorsal Mesentery
B. Ventral Mesentery
A
Greater Omentum
Mesentery/Root of mesentery
Dorsal mesocolon
Dorsal mesoduodenum
A. Dorsal Mesentery
B. Ventral Mesentery
A
Ventral mesentery extends from caudal foregut —> ?
Upper esophagus
Ventral mesentery is due to thinning of what structure
Septum Transversum
A block of mesoderm that forms CT in the liver and central tendon of the diaphragm
Septum transversum
Lesser Omentum, Falciform Ligament
A. Dorsal Mesentery
B. Ventral Mesentery
B
Cause of ventral body wall defects
Failure of closure of lateral body wall
Ectopia Cordis is
(+) heart outside
Failure to close in anterior thoracic region
