Development of GI system Flashcards
outer tube of flat trilaminar disk
ectoderm, covers outer surface of embryo (except umbilical region)
central tube of flat trilaminar disk
endodermal primary gut tube
middle tube of flat trilaminar disk
mesoderm
contains coelom or body cavity
How does the midgut remain in communication with the yolk sac?
vitelline duct
what forms the epithelial lining of GI tract and parenchyma of derivative glands
endoderm
what forms the smooth muscular components of the GI tract
splanchnic (visceral) mesoderm
cranially, foregut terminates in
buccopharyngeal membrane
caudally, hindgut terminates in
cloacal membrane
at the buccopharyngeal and cloacal membranes –> what fuses?
endoderm fuses w/ ectoderm excluding the mesoderm
double-layered connection between splanchnic mesoderm and somatic mesoderm
dorsal mesentery
organ completely covered by peritoneum (having a mesentery) is called
intraperitoneal
organ covered by peritoneum, only on anterior surface
retroperitoneal
ventral mesentery
liver develops between this
pharyngeal gut (or pharynx)
from buccopharyngeal membrane –> respiratory diverticulum
respiratory diverticulum
out pouching of upper part of foregut, first rudiment of lung
tracheoesophogeal septum
separates upper part of foregut into ventral trachea and dorsal esophagus
upper 2/3 of trachea n. supply
vagus n.
striated muscle
lower third of esophagus n. supply
autonomic n.
smooth muscle
lung bud appears from ventral surface of foregut when?
4th week of devel
bronchial buds –>
R main bronchi –> forms 3 secondary bronchi
L main bronchi –> forms 2 secondary bronchi
pulmonary agenesis
lung bud fails to split into R and L bronchi and continue growing (bronchial morphogenesis)
result: abnormal number of lobes/bronchial segments, complete absence of lung, abnormal number of alveoli
possible CXR findings for pulmonary angenesis
complete opacity of R hemithorax
displacement of heart and mediastinum
tracheal displacement to R
esophageal atresia
congenital malformation
failure of esophagus to develop continuous passage into stomach
infants exhibit choking, coughing, aspiration pneumonia
trachea-esophageal fistula
trachea and esophagus fail to separate into distinct structures, passage created between them
infants exhibit choking, coughing, aspiration pneumonia, cant pass catheter thru esophagus to stomach
often assoc w. other anomalies like ventricular septal defect/patent ductus arteriosus/tetralogy of fallout
