• Attached to the roof of the abdominal cavity by the dorsal • Attach to floor by the ventral mesentery

44
Q

What do the dorsal and ventral mesentery become?

A

45
Q

What is the peritoneal membrane?

A

• Lines abdominal cavity and wraps around the viscera

46
Q

What is the peritoneal cavity?

A

• A potential space, which contains nothing under normal conditions

47
Q

What is a mesentery?

A

• A double layer of peritoneum suspending the gut tube from the abdominal wall

48
Q

What is the purpose of a mesentery?

A

• Allow a conduit for blood and nerve supply• Allow mobility where needed

49
Q

What do the dorsal and ventral mesenteries divide the foregut into?

A

50
Q

What does the left sac contribute to?

A

• The greater peritoneal sac

51
Q

What does the right sac contribute to?

A

• The lesser peritoneal sac

52
Q

Where is dorsal mesentery present?

A

• All the way along the gut wall

53
Q

Where is the ventral mesentery found?

A

• Only in the foregut

54
Q

What are the greater and lesser peritoneal sacs?

A

• Formed by the dorsal and ventral mesenteries, which divide foregut cavity into left and right

55
Q

What are the omenta?

A

• Specialised regions of peritoneum

56
Q

What is the greater omentum?

A

• Formed from the dorsal mesentery• First structure seen when the abdominal cavity is opened anteriorly

57
Q

What does the greater omentum connect?

A

• The greater curve of the stomach to the transverse colon

58
Q

What does the lesser omentum connect?

A

• The lesser curve of the stomach to the liver

59
Q

What is the lesser omentum?

A

• Formed from the ventral mesentery• Free edge conducts the portal triad

60
Q

How are the greater and lesser sacs formed, and how are the omenta formed?

A

• Rotation of the stomach

61
Q

How does the primitive stomach rotate?

A

• Around the longitudinal axis• Around the enteroposterior axis

62
Q

What does rotation of the stomach cause? (6)

A

• Putsthevagusnervesanteriorandposteriortothestomachinsteadofleftandright• Shiftscardiaandpylorusfromthemidline - stomach lies obliquely• Contributestomovingthelesser sacbehindthestomach• Createsthe greateromentum• Original left side anterior• Original right side becomes posterior

63
Q

What is the peritoneal reflection?

A

• A change in direction ○ From parietal peritoneum to mesentery ○ From mesentery to visceral peritoneum

64
Q

Where does the foregut extend to and from?

A

• The lung bud to the liver bud

65
Q

What parts of the GI tract continue to possess mesenteries and why?

A

• The jejunum and ileum remain suspended from the posterior abdominal wall

66
Q

What is retroperitoneal?

A

• Were never in the peritoneal cavity and never had a mesentery

67
Q

What does secondarily retroperitoneal mean?

A

• Began development surrounded by peritoneum and had a mesentery, but mesentery is lost over time through fusion at posterior abdominal wall

68
Q

What happens to the duodenum during development to make it retroperitoneal?

A

The duodenum and its mesentery is pushed against the posterior abdominal wall during development due to the rotation of the stomach and the large size of the liver

69
Q

What is fusion fascia?

A

• Peritoneum of posterior abdominal wall squished together with the duodenum and its mesentery

70
Q

Why is it easy to remove fusion fascia?

A

• It is avascular

71

A

• A respiratory diverticulum

72
Q

What can form from an abnormal positioning of the tracheoesophageal septum?

A

• Oesophageal abnormalities

73
Q

What creates the greater curvature of the stomach?

A

• Faster growth of dorsal curvature

74
Q

What does the respiratory diverticulum becomes ventrally and dorsally?

A

• Ventrally - Respiratory primordium• Dorsally - Oesophagus

75
Q

What are the respiratory primordium and the oesophagus divided by?

A

• The tracheoesophageal system

76
Q

A

Pancreas

78
Q

What does the liver develop from?

A

79
Q

What happens to the lumen of the duodenum?

A

• It is obliterated due to the lining growing so quickly • Recanalised by the end of the embryonic period

80
Q

What does the rotation of the stomach do to the duodenum?

A

• Pushes it right and then back again against the posterior abdominal wall

81
Q

Dilation of what indicates stomach primordium?

A

• Distal foregut

82
Q

What does rotation of the stomach and changing of the positions of the dorsal and ventral mesenteries form?

A

• Omental bursa formed• Lesser sac displaced posteriorly from right

83
Q

In terms of glandular development, where is the liver, biliary system and uncinate process and inferior head of pancreas formed?

A

• In the ventral mesentery

84
Q

What is formed in the dorsal mesentery?

A

• Pancreas (superior head, neck body and tail)

85
Q

What does the duodenum develop from?

A

• Caudal foregut• Cranial midgut

86
Q

How does the duodenum grow?

A

• Rapidly, forming a C-shaped loop when the stomach rotates

87
Q

How does the lumen of the duodenum develop?

• In 5th and 6th week lumen is obliterated, then recanlised by the end of the embryonic period• Rotation of the stomach pushes duodenum to right, then against posterior abdominal wall
