Development Flashcards
Oropharyngeal membrane
- everything anterior to this is supplied sensory fibers by trigeminal
- everything posterior to this is supplied sensory fibers by the glossopharyngeal
Cloacal membrane
caudal end of digestive tract (proctodeum and anal pit)
Lining of digestive tract and related glands
develop from ENDODERM –> except stomodeum and proctodeum (ectoderm)
Skeletal muscle of pharynx and upper esophagus
derived from branchial arch mesoderm (4th and 6th)
Smooth muscle and CT of GI tract
splanchnic mesoderm
Nervous component
neural crest cells
Vagus –> parasympathetics (left colic flexure)
Pelvic splanchnics –> parasympathetics (remaining)
Postganglionic parasympathetic nerve cell bodies?
located near the organs of innervation
Sympathetic cell bodies?
located in the ganglia (celiac, superior, inferior mesenteric nerve plexuses)
Esophageal atresia
defective tracheoesophageal septum (leads to polyhydramnios)
Foregut
celiac artery and vagus nerve
Midgut
superior mesenteric artery and vagus nerve
Hindgut
inferior mesenteric artery and pelvic splanchnics (S2-4)
Dorsal mesentery
suspends distal esophagus, stomach, and proximal duodenum from dorsal wall
Ventral mesentery
- derived from transverse septum
- connects distal esophagus, stomach, and proximal duodenum to ventral wall
- encloses liver and forms visceral peritoneum
- forms lesser omentum (between stomach and duodenum)
- forms falciform ligament
Development of distal esophagus, stomach, and duodenum
90 degree rotation of stomach occurs to bring greater curvature to left and lesser curvature to right
- because of rotation, L vagus supplies ventral surface of stomach and R vagus supplies dorsal surface of stomach
