Q

The stomach is suspended by both the dorsal and ventral mesentaries, describe its rotation

A

It elongates and rotates 90 degrees and takes vagus nerve and mesentaries with it, then the dorsal edge expands to make greater curvature

30
Q

Faulty migration of NCC, inability of sphincter to relax

A

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis

31
Q

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis

A

Narrowing of pyloric lumen (opening btwn stomach and duodenum) due to thickened muscle

  • Presents after birth, palpable “olive” mass
  • Non-bile vomit, lesser stools and loss of weight
32
Q

Describe the liver formation

A

Begins as hepatic diverticulum from foregut endoderm via connection of common bile duct
- By 10th week in utero, takes over hematopoiesis

33
Q

Endoderm liver cells

A

Hepatocytes, hepatic ducts and bile ducts

34
Q

Mesoderm liver cells

A

Stromal, Kupffer and stellate cells

35
Q

Describe the gallbladder formation

A

Begins as cystic diverticulum; a secondary outpouching off common bile duct and grows into ventral mesentary

36
Q

Bile formed by hepatic cells beginning in week ___

A

12

37
Q

The gallbladder is connected to the common bile duct what?

A

Cystic duct

38
Q

Biliary Atresia

A

Obliteration of bile duct or it is replaced by fibrotic tissue
- Jaundice, white clay stool, dark urine

39
Q

Describe the pancreas formation

A
2 buds (ventral and dorsal) sprout inferior to the cystic diverticulum on the foregut
- Ventral bud migrates posteriorly and fuses with the Dorsal bud and duct
40
Q

The ventral pancreatic bud creates

A

Uncinate process

41
Q

The dorsal pancreatic bud creates

A

Pancreas head, body and tail

42
Q

Main pancreatic duct?

A

Ventral

43
Q

Accessory pancreatic duct?

A

Dorsal

44
Q

Pancreas Divisum

A

Ventral and Dorsal pancreatic buds fail to fuse

- Mostly asymptomatic

45
Q

Annular pancreas

A

Poor migration of ventral pancreas

  • Creates a pancreatic ring around 2nd part of duodenum
  • Can cause obstruction, bilious vomit and low birth weight
46
Q

Where does the spleen form and what is it derived from?

A

It forms in the dorsal mesogastrium

It is derived from MESODERM

47
Q

What does the midgut create?

A
Lower duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
Cecum
Appendix
Ascending colon
Proximal 2/3 transverse colon
48
Q

What is unique about the midgut formation?

A

It herniates out of umbilicus at week 6 and returns to abdomen at week 10

49
Q

Describe the midgut formation between week 6-10

A
  • Midgut grows out of umbilicus and makes a 90 degree counterclockwise turn so the proximal gut is on the right side
  • Proximal side becomes convoluted and distal side forms cecum
  • Proximal side returns to abdomen and passes under distal portion, completing another 90 degree turn
  • Distal portion returns and makes a 3rd 90 degree turn
50
Q

Herniated midgut does not fully retract like it is supposed to through umbilicus
- Covered by parietal peritoneum

A

Omphalocele

51
Q

Abnormal lateral body folding/fusion - defect in abdominal wall causes wall weakness

  • Bowel herniates out
  • Not covered in parietal peritoneum
A

Gastroschisis

52
Q

Failure of vitelline duct connect to midgut to regress

  • Midgut remains connected to umbilicus
  • Rule of 2’s
A

Meckel’s Diverticulum

  • 2% population and symptoms
  • 2x more likely in males
  • presents in first 2 years of life
53
Q

Midgut only rotates 90 degrees, end up with a left sided colon

A

Malrotation/non-rotation of midgut loop

54
Q

Midgut rotates a NET 90 degrees CLOCKWISE, end up with duodenum anterior to transverse colon

A

Reverse gut rotation

55
Q

Twisting of bowel around its mesentary
“coffee bean sign”
- abdominal pain, vomiting, bleeding

A

Volvulus
