27
Q

what are the membranes that hold the gut tube called ?

A

dorsal + ventral mesenteries

known as dorsal + ventral mesogastrium

28
Q

what supplies the gut tube with blood ?

how does it reach it

A

the aorta at the back of the abdomen

via arterial branches in the dorsal mesentery

29
Q

what is a function of the yolk sac ?

A

nutrients are absorbed from its vessels in earlier stages

30
Q

what is vitelline circulation ?

A

system of blood flowing from embryo to yolk sac + back

31
Q

what happens when vitelline circulation is no longer needed ?

A

yolk sac regresses

lie in developing umbilical cord

32
Q

what is the allantois ?

A

sac from the hindgut

nonfunctional in humans

33
Q

what forms the ubilical artery

A

the blood vessels of the allantois

34
Q

what does the proximal end of the allantois become ?

A

urinary bladder

35
Q

what does the thoracic part of the foregut give rise to ?

A

the lower respiratory tract

36
Q

what happens to the foregut in the third week of intrauterine life ?

A

develops respiratory diverticulum

37
Q

what does the splanchnic mesoderm form ?

A
  • connective tissue of lungs + respiratory tract
38
Q

what develops in the ventral mesogastrium ?

A

rhe liver

39
Q

what is a distinct feature of the pancreatic development ?

A

arises as 2 separate buds

40
Q

what part of the pancreas becomes the uncinate process ?

A

part of pancreas that came from the ventral pancreas

41
Q

what does the midgut become ?

A

most of the intestines

ends 2/3 of the way along the transverse colon

42
Q

how is the midgut connected to the yolk sac ?

A

via the vitelline duct

43
Q

where does the midgut get its blood supply from ?

A

superior mesenteric artery

44
Q

what happens to the midgut during the mid trimester ?

A
  • herniates into the umbilical cord to escape pressure of growing liver
45
Q

what happens to the midgut when it leaves the umbilical cord ?

A

lost its connection to the yolk saac

46
Q

describe the midgut rotation :

A
  • cranial + caudal limbs elongate + rotate 90 degree counterclockwise as it enters the umbilical
  • as it leaves the umbilical the midgut rotates 180 degree counterclockwise
47
Q

what does the cranial limb become ?

A

small bowel

48
Q

what does the caudal limb become

A

large bowl

49
Q

where is the caecum found ?

what is the start of ?

A

on the caudal limb

larger bowel

50
Q

what are Mao rotations ?

A

complications of midgut rotations

51
Q

what is a non-rotation ?

A

failure of the second phase of midgut rotation

leaves small bowel on right hand side + large bowel on left

52
Q

what is a omphalocele ?

A

failure of gut to return to abdominal cavity

midgut is outside of the body

53
Q

what is gastroschisis ?

A

protrusion of gut through anterior abdominal wall

isnt within a sac , intestines are exposed

54
Q

what have gastroschisis been related to ?

A
  • maternal smoking
  • drug abuse
  • low birthweight
  • possible genetic link
55

A

formed by the proctodeum

Q

what happens to the embyonic bladder enlarges ?

A

forms the urachus

58
Q

what is the distal part of the hindgut called ?

A

the cloaca

59
Q

what partitions the hindgut into 2 compartments ?

A

the mesenchyme = urorectal septum

60

pushes the cloaca towards the cloacal membrane

separates urogenital tract from the future rectum + anal canal

A
  • incomplete separation of the cloaca into urogential + anorectal parts
65
