visceral peritoneum is of what derivative
splanchnic mesoderm
what is the peritoneum
serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity and organs
what is a mesentery
double layer of peritoneum that suspends organs from the body wall
what is the derivative of dorsal mesentery
splanchnic mesoderm
what is the derivative of ventral mesentery
splanchnic mesoderm
what type of body folding results in mesenteries
lateral folding
which mesentery is split/divided because of the development of the liver
ventral mesogastrium
which mesentery becomes the greater omentum
dorsal megogastrium
what is the ectodermal contribution to the GI tract
neural crest cells migrate and become the enteric nervous system
what are the 3 main divisions of the GI tract, and where are those divisions
foregut - esophagus to mid duodenum
midgut - mid duodenum to proximal 2/3 transverse colon
hindgut - distal 1/3 of transverse colon to asshole
what is the basis of how the different regions of the GI tract are divided ?
based upon blood supply
what artery supplies the foregut
celiac trunk a.
what artery supplies the midgut
superior mesenteric a.
what artery supplies the hindgut
inferior mesenteric a
all arterial supply to the GI tract are branches off what main artery
dorsal aorta
what are some of the foregut derivatives
pharynx, lower resp. system, esophagus, stomach, proximal 1/2 of duodenum
