Q

How does the stomach further develop in the abdomen/twist?

A

It rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise around the cranio-caudal axis so that the greater curvature is on the left (or right looking ventrally).
It then rotates 45 degrees to run more transversely so top is on the left and bottom is on the right.

Q

How are the other organs affected by the rotation of the stomach?

A

The spleen in the dorsal mesentery is pulled to the left as the greater curvature of the stomach is pulled to the left
The liver in the ventral mesentery is pulled slightly to the right

21
Q

How does the greater omentum form?

A

The dorsal mesogastrium/mesentery comes off the greater curvature of the stomach and folds back on itself

22
Q

How does the lesser omentum form?

A

From the ventral mesogastrium running cranially to the liver from the lesser curvature of the stomach (the stomach curls round)

23
Q

Where do the liver and pancreas arise from?

A

From the gut tube near the foregut/midgut boundary

24
Q

Why is the liver closely associated with the diaphragm?

A

Because the liver bud invades the septum transversum

25
Q

What is the septum transversum?

A

Cranial mesenchyme that gives rise to the diaphragm and the ventral mesentery of the foregut

26
Q

How do stomach rotations affect the pancreas?

A

They bring the pancreatic buds together to fuse to form a single pancreas with two lobes

27
Q

In what animals are there separate openings of the common bile duct and accessory pancreatic duct?

A

Dog, horse and human - others are different with either pancreatic ducts and bile ducts sharing one opening of two completely separate ducts

28
Q

How does the midgut twist in development?

A

It extends into the umbilicus
It then twists 180 degrees clockwise around the root of the mesentery
It then retracts back into the abdomen and twists another 90 degrees

29
Q

Where is the caecum located in the abdomen?

A

On the right hand side

30
Q

Which way does the transverse colon pass behind the root of the mesentery?

A

From the right to the left

31
Q

Which side of the abdomen is the descending colon on?

A

The left side

right side looking ventrally

32
Q

How does the hind gut develop?

A

The reproductive tract and the GI tract separate and the anal membrane breaks to form a hole

33
Q

What are the complications with hindgut formation?

A

Anal atresia - anal membrane doesn’t break down

34
Q

What are the main vessels of the umbilicus?

A

Umbilical arteries and umbilical vein

35
Q

What does the umbilical vein do?

A

Takes oxygenated blood from the mother into the foetus

36
Q

Where does the umbilical vein lead?

A

Into the ductus venosus

37
Q

What do the umbilical arteries do?

A

Carry the deoxygenated blood out of the foetus

38
Q

Where are the umbilical arteries?

A

Next to the urachus

39
Q

What is the urachus?

A

Primitive bladder - takes the urine in the foetus down the umbilicus form the bladder to the allantois

40
Q

What happens to the urachus after birth?

A

The lower part shrivels up and the upper part forms the bladder

41
Q

What does the umbilical vein turn into?

A

The teres/round ligament

42
Q

What is the falciform ligament?

A

A fold in the ventral mesogastrium/peritoneum that is full of fat

43
Q

Where is the falciform ligament located?

A

Next to the teres ligament cranial to the umbilicus

44
Q

What do the umbilical arteries turn into?

A

The proximal part - cranial vesicle arteries

The distal part - round ligaments of the bladder

45
Q

What are the cranial vesicle arteries?

A

Arteries that supply the bladder that are derived from the umbilical arteries

46
Q

What does vesicle mean?

A

Bladder

47
Q

What are the ligaments that form around the bladder?

A

The lateral vesicle ligaments and the median vesicle ligament

48
Q

What are the lateral vesicle ligaments derived from?

A

Folds in the ventral mesogastrium/peritoneum around the umbilical arteries

49
Q

Where is the median vesicle ligament derived from?

A

A fold in the ventral mesogastrium/peritoneum which comes up from the ventral peritoneum
