Q

When do we start to see the primordia for the GI tract?

A

During 4th week embryonic folding pulls the endoderm of yolk sac into cranial and caudal ends of embryo forming the foregut, midgut, and hindgut with narrow opening to yolk sac forming vitelline duct

Q

What happens to the dorsal mesogastrium as the stomach enlarges?

A

enlarges forming a large draping double fold of mesentery –> greater omentum

Rotation separates abdominal cavity into lesser sac behind the stomach and greater sac ant and continuous with greater abdominal cavity

Q

What is hypertrophic pyloric stenosis? Causes? Symptoms?

A

Narrowing of pyloric lumen obstructing food passage

Inability of sphincter to relax due to faulty NCC migration so ganglion cells of enteric not properly populated -> hypertrophy of muscularis externa

Projectile non-bilious vom after feeding, fewer and smaller stools, failure to gain weight

Q

What does the splanchnic mesoderm differentiate into for the liver?

A

stromal cells, Kupffer, and stellate cells

19
Q

What develops into the exocrine and endocrine portions of the pancreas?

A

pancreatic buds

20
Q

What happens during the 5th week in pancreatic development? What do the dorsal and ventral portions become?

A

Ventral pancreas migrates around post and fuses with dorsal pancreas

Dorsal= head, body, tail
Ventral= uncinate process
Dorsal pancreatic duct connection to duo lost as it reconnects to ventral pancreatic duct (can be retained as accessory)

21
Q

What are anomalies in pancreatic development?

A 
pancreatic duct, pancreas divisum (two totally separate ducts, prone to pancreatitis)
annular pancreas (duo obstruction or stenosis, bilious vomiting if inf to bile duct)
22
Q

Where is the bile ducts and gall bladder formed from?

A

formed by outgrowths from cystic endoderm

23
Q

How does the bile duct open?

A

Canalization

24
Q

What is biliary atresia?

A

fetal and perinatal forms, obliteration of extrahepatic or intrahepatic ducts –> ducts replaced by fibrotic tissue –> progressive neonatal jaundice with onset after birth, white stools, and dark urine, treat with liver transplant or else 12-19 mth

25
Q

When does the spleen develop and how?

A

4th week
mesenchymal condensation develops in dorsal mesogastrum, derived from mesoderm and eventually populated by myeloid lymphoid cells

26
Q

What are the 3 rotations that happen during midgut development?

A
  1. 90 degree counterclockwise rotation (day 50) bringing cecum and future ascending colon back into left side of abdominal cavity
  2. 180 counterclockwise rotation (day 70) of gut loop as it continues reentering abdomen bringing cecum to URQ and ascending colon ant to duo
  3. Last rotation day 73 bringing midgut into cavity and day 77 cecum descends to LRQ carrying ascending colon with it so that it is along the right side of abdomen and transverse colon overlies duo and pancreas
27
Q

What is omphalocele? How does this happen?

A

herniation of gut into umbilicus remains and still covered by peritoneum, increased risk with trisomy 13 and 18

Lateral body folding and fusion is abnormal creating a wall weakness allowing bowel to herniate
Connective tissue of skin and hypaxial musculature of body wall do not form normally creating wall weakness

28
Q

What is gastroschsis?

A

herniation of abdominal contents through abdominal wall and into exterior, no peritoneal covering

29
Q

What is Meckel’s diverticulum?

A

failure of yolk stalk(vitelline duct) connection to midgut to regress so midgut connected to umbilicus  abdominal wall swelling, intestinal obstruction, bowel sepsis, and GI bleeding

30
Q

What is the rules of 2’s in terms of Meckel’s diverticulum?

A

2% incidence, 2xs more common in males, 2% have medical symptoms, 2 ft proximal to terminal ileum, 2 inches long, 2 yrs old

31
Q

What is volvulus?

A

rolled up, twisted intestines –> acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and GI bleeding, increased risk with gut rotation anomalies

32
Q

What happens when there is non-rotation of the midgut loop?

A

complete first 90 degree counterclockwise rotation but does not do 180 rotation so left sided colon and right sided SI

33
Q

What happens when there is reverse gut rotation?

A

completes initial 90 degree but then rotates 180 clockwise instead of counter  transvers colon post to duo risk of ischemia and stenosis of colon

34
Q

What is intestinal stenosis and atresia?

A

during 5-6th month lumen of intestines become nearly obliterated due to endodermal proliferation and villi formation

Duodenal stenosis= partial occlusion due to ineffective recanalization usually involves horizontal and or ascending parts

Duodenal atresia= complete occlusion of the lumen remains

35
Q

What does the urorectal septum partition the cloaca into?

A

dorsal anorectal canal and ventral urogenital sinus

Septum develops fork-like extensions of lateral cloacal walls that grow toward one another dividing the cloaca into urogenital sinus and anal canal

36
Q

What opens the urogenital sinus and anal canal to the exterior?

A

Rupture of the cloacal membrane

37
Q

How does the anal rectal lumen?

A

Apoptotic death of epithelial anal plug

38
Q

What does the mesenchyme surrounding the anal canal proliferate into?

A

anal pit with ectodermal lined walls

39
Q

What germ layer makes up the superior 2/3’s of the anal canal? Inferior?

A 
Sup= endodermal
Inf= ectoderrmal
40
Q

What does the epithelium of the superior 2/3’s of the anal canal? Inferior?

A

Sup= BV supply and innervation to hindgut

Inf= BV supply and innervation of anal pit

41
Q

What does the pectineal line divide?

A

Origin of the hindgut and anal pit

42
Q

How does an imperforated anus form?

A

persistent anal membrane, types based on relative location to levator ani and pelvic landmarks

43
Q

What is Hirschbrung’s disease?

A

Congenital aganglionic megacolon

Absence of ganglionic plexus dues to absence of NCC

Lack of peristalsis (colon fails to relax)

Increase wall thickens due to hypertrophy in intestines proximal to agnaglionic segment

Abnormal colonic dilation or distension (megacolon)

44
Q

What are some urorectal septum developmental defects?

A 
persistent anal membrane
anal atresia
anoperitenel fistula
rectovaginal fistula
rectrourehtral fistula
rectovesical fistula
