Development Of GI System Flashcards
What are the derivatives of the foregut?
Derivatives of the Midgut
Duodenum distal to the major duodenal papilla,
Jejunum & Ileum; Cecum & Appendix, Ascending colon & right 2/3 of transverse colon
What are the derivatives of the hindgut?
Derivatives of the Hindgut
Left 1/3 of Transverse colon
Descending colon, Sigmoid colon & rectum Anal canal up to the pectinate line
Urinary bladder & most of Urethra
What parts of the viscera are supplied by the celiac artery?
Esophagus Stomach Liver /Gall bladder Pancreas Spleen (developed in dorsal mesogastrium) 1⁄2 Duodenum (superior to the major papilla)
What parts of the of the blood supply of the superior mesenteric ?
Duodenum distal to the major duodenal papilla Jejunum Ileum Cecum /appendix Ascending colon Right 2/3 of transverse colon
What parts of the viscera are supplied by the inferior mesenteric?
Left 1/3 of Transverse colon
Descending colon, Sigmoid colon & rectum
Anal canal up to the pectinate line
Explain formation of the primordial gut
Derived from the dorsal part of umbilical vesicle (yolk sac), within the folds of the embryo
Suspended in the peritoneal cavity by dorsal and ventral mesenteries.
The epithelial lining and glands are derived from yolk sac endoderm
Smooth muscle and connective tissue are derived from splanchnic mesoderm
Neural component derived from the migration of neural crest cells
What happens to the primitive gut after embryonic folding?
After the embryonic folding, intra- embryonic part of the umbilical vesicle (yolk sac) is divided into foregut (within head fold) Midgut & Hindgut (within tail fold)
Omphaloenteric duct (Yolk stalk / vitellointestinal duct) connects midgut to the umbilical vesicle
Describe the epithelial lining of the gut
- Hollow tube
- Epithelial proliferation fills the lumen by 8th week
- Vacuoles then appear
- The process of Recanalization (hollow –solid –hollow) occurs by 10th week
Stenosis: due partial failure of (re) canalization of epithelial proliferation in their lumen
Atresia [e.g. of esophagus / duodenum / biliary tract] due to complete failure of (re)canalization of epithelial proliferation in their lumen
What is the foregut?
Begins at the abdominal esophagus and ends inferior to the major duodenal papilla.
• Esophagus
• Stomach
• Liver /Gall bladder
• Pancreas
• Spleen (developed in dorsal mesogastrium)
• 1⁄2 Duodenum (superior to the major papilla)
What is the blod supply, dranage and lymphatic drainage of the foregut?
Arterial supply : Celiac Trunk
Venous drainage: Portal Venous System
Lymphatic drainage: Celiac Nodes
Describe the anatomy of the stomach
J shaped structure which has 2 openings:
• Cardia
• Plyoric
2 curvatures :
• Greater
• Lesser
2 surfaces (walls)
• Anterior
• Posterior
What are the regions of the stomach?
Cardiac region of the stomach is on the left
Pyloric region of the stomach is to the right
The stomach therefore has its axis running from above left to below right
Describe rhe development of the stomach
Distal part of the foregut shows a fusiform dilatation during 4th week which has :
Right & Left surfaces Anterior & Posterior borders
As the stomach increases in size the posterior border (greater curvature) grows faster than the anterior border (lesser curvature)
- Rotates clockwise around its long axis for 90 degrees.
- Anterior border becomes lesser curvature
- Posterior border becomes greater curvature
Ventral border (lesser curvature) moves to the right; dorsal border (greater curvature) moves to the left
How is rotation impactful in the development of the stomach?
After rotation→long axis of the stomach lies almost transverse to the long axis of the body, left surface becomes anterior wall of the stomach and right surface becomes posterior wall
Summarize development of the stomach
- Positional changes of the stomach are explained by assuming it rotates along a longitudinal and anterior posterior axis
- The stomach rotates 90 degrees clockwise around its longitudinal axis causing the left surface to face anteriorly and its right surface to face posteriorly.
- The vagus nerve initially on the left side of the stomach innervates the anterior wall and the right vagus nerve innervates the posterior wall.
Adult structure : the pyloric part of the stomach moves to the right and upward
the cardiac part of the stomach moves to the left and slightly downwards
• The stomach in its final position has its axis running from above left to below right.
