Development of GI Tract Flashcards
Foregut blood supply
Celiac trunk
Midgut blood supply
SMA - superior mesentaric artery
Hindgut blood supply
IMA - inferior mesenteric artery
Narrowing of the opening to the yolk sac during embryonic folding creates?
Vitelline duct
What creates the mucosal epithelium and GI glands (minus lower 1/3 of anus)?
Endoderm
What creates the CT, vasculature and smooth muscle wall of GI tract?
Splanchic mesoderm
What creates the ganglia, nerves, glia, and epithelium of lower 1/3 of anus?
Ectoderm
What lines the peritoneal cavity?
Parietal peritoneum
What lines the abdominal organs?
Visceral peritoneum
Space between the parietal and visceral peritoneum?
Peritoneal cavity
Double fold of peritoneum that connects organs to body walls so they are not floating around aimlessly?
Mesentary
Connects organs to dorsal body wall and runs entire GI tract
Dorsal mesentary
Connects organs to ventral body wall and runs from ventral stomach to umbilicus
Ventral mesentary
What does the Dorsal mesentary give rise to?
Greater omentum Small intestine mesentary Mesoappendix Transverse mesocolon Sigmoid mesocolon
What does the Ventral mesentary give rise to?
ALL THINGS LIVER: Lesser omentum Falciform ligament of liver Coronary ligament of liver Triangular ligament of liver
Greater omentum includes?
Gastrosplenic, Gastrocolic and Splenorenal ligaments
Lesser omentum inlcudes?
Hepatoduodenal and Hepatogastric ligaments
Organs suspended by mesentary
Intraperitoneal
Organs excluded from peritoneal cavity
Retroperitoneal
What are the retroperitonal organs?
SADPUCKER: suprarenal glands aorta duodenum - 2nd and 3rd parts pancreas - except tail ureters colon - ascending and descending kidneys esophagus rectum
Organs initially suspended within mesentary that later fused with body wall
Secondarily retroperitoneal
Examples of secondarily retroperitoneal organs
Ascending and descending colon
Bulk of pancreas
Duodenum
What does the Foregut create?
Esophagus Stomach Liver Gallbladder Pancreas Upper duodenum
The stomach is suspended by both the dorsal and ventral mesentaries, describe its rotation
It elongates and rotates 90 degrees and takes vagus nerve and mesentaries with it, then the dorsal edge expands to make greater curvature
As the stomach rotates, the dorsal mesogastrium becomes?
Greater omentum
As the stomach rotates, the ventral mesentary becomes?
Lesser omentum
Once the stomach rotates, what is the alignment of the vagus nerve?
LARP
- left vagus anterior
- right vagus posterior
After stomach rotation, what is the greater sac?
Greater space of peritoneal cavity
