Q

Pancreas formation

A

Cystic diverticulum and ventral pancreatic buds sprout into ventral mesentery, dorsal bud sprouts into dorsal mesentery
5th week the ventral pancreas migrates around posteriorly and fuses with dorsal pancreas
Dorsal pancreatic duct connection to duodenum is lost as it reconnects to ventral pancreatic duct may be retained as accessory pancreatic duct

16
Q

Biliary atresia

A

Obliteration of extrahepatic or intrahepatic ducts
Progressive neonatal jaundice soon after birth
White clay colored stool
Dark urine

17
Q

Midgut derivatives

A
Lower duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
Cecum
Appendix
Ascending colon
Proximal 2/3rds of transverse colon
18
Q

Rotation of midgut

A

First 90 deg. rotation (50day) brings cecum and future ascending colon into left side
Second 180 deg. rotation (70day) brings cecum to upper right quadrant and ascending colon anterior to duodenum
As midgut returns into cavity (73day) cecum descends to lower right quadrant carrying the ascending colon along with it, so ascending colon ends up along the right side of abdomen

19
Q

Tail of pancreas is located

A

Intraperitoneal

20
Q

Omphalocele

A

Herniation through umbilicus
Peritoneal covering
Increased risk with trisomy 13 or 18
Usually the intestines retract back into the abdomen before closure- but in this case they do not
Could be caused by lateral folding defecting resulting in weak abdominal wall

21
Q

Gastrochesis

A

Herniation through abdominal wall without peritoneal covering

22
Q

Meckels diverticulum

A

Failure of yolk stalk (vitelline duct) connection to the midgut to regress
Rules of 2s: 2% incidence, 2x more common in males, 2% have medical symptoms, 2 feet proximal to terminal ileum, 2 inches long, 2 years of age
Can lead to abdominal swelling, intestinal obstruction, bowel sepsis, GI bleed

23
Q

Non rotation of midgut loop

A

Does not mean ‘no rotation’
Completes first 90 deg. rotation but not the remaining 180 deg.
Ends up with left sided colon and right sided small intestines

24
Q

Reverse gut rotation

A

Completes 90 deg. rotation but then does 180 deg. rotation backwards
Colon ends up on the correct side, but is posterior to the duodenum

25
Q

Volvulus

A

Rolled up, twisted intestines

Increased risk with gut rotation anomalies

26
Q

Intestinal stenosis and atresia

A

During 5th-6th month, lumen of intestines is temporarily obliterated because of endodermal proliferation
Later vacuoles form as endodermal cells degenerate reopening the lumen by end of embryonic period
Causes duodenal (most common in duodenum) stenosis due to ineffective recanalization
Can also cause duodenal atresia
Associated with trisomy 21

27
Q

Hindgut derivatives

A
Distal 1/3rd of transverse colon
Descending colon
Sigmoid colon
Rectum
Superior 2/3rds of anal canal
28
Q

Separation of cloaca

A

Urorectal septum develops fork-like extensions of the lateral cloacal walls that grow toward one another dividing the cloaca into UG sinus and anal canal
Cloacal membrane ruptures thereby opening both the UG sinus and anal canal to the exterior

29
Q

Rectum vs Anal endoderm/ectoderm and vasculature

A

Rectum- endoderm- superior and middle rectal arteries and veins of hindgut
Anus- ectoderm- inferior rectal arteries and veins

30
Q

Secondarily retroperitoneal organ definition and examples

A

Organs that were originally suspended in mesentery that later fused with the body wall
Ascending/descending colon, duodenum, bulk of pancreas

31
Q

What enlarges to from the greater omentum

A

Dorsal mesogastrum during stomach rotation

32
Q

Stomach rotation

A

Rotates 90 deg.
Left stomach becomes ventral, right side becomes dorsal
Results in the ventral/dorsal location of left/right vagus nerves
Lesser sac ends up behind stomach
Turning van to the right

33
Q

Spleen development

A

Mesenchymal condensation develops in dorsal mesogastrum and is the site of spleen formation. Spleen is derived from mesoderm

34
Q

Formation of anal pit

A

Mesenchyme surrounding anal canal proliferates forming anal pit with ectodermal walls

35
Q

Pectineal line

A

Line dividing origin of hindgut and anal pit (ectoderm/endoderm transition)

36
Q

Imperforated anus

A

Persistent anal membrane
Low, intermediate or high distinction is relative to levator ani and pelvic bony landmarks (above, same level or below levator ani muscle)

37
Q

Defects due to abnormal urorectal septum

A

Rectovaginal- rectum opens into vagina- meconium may be discharged from vagina
Rectovastibule- rectum opens into vaginal vestibule
Rectoperitoneal- rectum opens into peritoneum

38
Q

Hirschsprungs disease

A

Congenital aganglionic megacolon
Absence of ganglionic plexus due to absence of migration of neural crest
Lack of peristalsis (colon cannot relax)
Increase wall thickness due to hypertrophy in intestine proximal to aganglionic segment
Abnormal colonic distension/dilation
Megacolon portion would have ganglion cells, distal portion would be the aganglionic region causing the backup
