Development of Body Cavities Flashcards
Intraembryonic coelem fate and names of what it forms
Major body cavities
Pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal
Development of coelem begins at
Week 3
Definitive body cavities are present by week
8
Intraembryonic coelem communicates with
Chorionic cavity (extraembyronic coelem)
Communication between intraembryonic coelom and chorionic cavity allows
Herniation of gut into the extraembyronic space
Where and how is intraembyronic coelem isolated from chorionic cavity
Rostral and caudal ends
Lateral and longitudinal foliding
Intraembryonic coelom balloons and its walls form the
Visceral (splanchnic layer of mesoderm)
Parietal (somatic later of mesoderm)
Transverse folding does what to primitive right and left peritoneal cavities?
Brings them ventral
Later in time, during transverse folding, whathappens to right and left periotoneal cavities?
Fuse to form a continuous peritoneal cavity
Mesenteries
Membranes that separate the two intraembryonic coeloms
Associated with the gut tube
What covers the developing gut tube?
Splanchnic mesoderm
Splanchnic mesoderm divides into
Dorsal and ventral mesentary
Continuous with one another
What are mesentaries ventral and dorsal to
Developing gut tube
When lateral folding is complete, what has occured?
Ventral mesentary has disappeared and intraembryonic coelom is seprated from extraembryonic
Why is dorsal mesentary maintained through life
Suspend the gut
Provide route for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to reach gut
When does peritoneal cavity become continuous spece?
Loss of ventral mesentary
Lesser omentum
Leftover ventral mesentary that joins liver and stomach to upper duodenum
