58
Q

Where does the spleen begin to form?

A

as a mesenchymal condensation in the dorsal mesogastrium

59
Q

What is the spleen populated by during development?

A

mesoderm populated by myeloid lymphoid cells

60
Q

What are the stages of herniation and re-entry of the midgut during development?

A

herniates out umbilicus at 6 weeks

comes back in at 10 weeks

61
Q

Describe midgut rotation

A

1: 90 degree counterclockwise rotation
——> cecum and asc colon on L side of abd cavity
2: 180 degree counterclockwise rotation as it reenters abdomen
——-> cecum in RUQ, asc colon anterior to duodenum
3: rest of midgut enters abdomen
——–> cecum RUQ, pulls asc colon down to R side
——–> transverse colon in front of duodenum and
pancreas

62
Q

Describe an omphalocele

A

herniation of gut continues out of the umbilicus

**covered with peritoneum

63
Q

What causes an omphalocele?

A
  • bowel doesn’t fully retract
  • abnormal lateral body folding and fusion creates weakness in wall–>herniates
  • CT of skin and hypaxial M of body wall dont form–>weakness–>herniation
64
