Q

What is the role of the buccopharyngeal membrane in foregut development?

A

Buccopharyngeal membrane separates stomodeum from foregut, later ruptures to connect them.

Q

Explain the significance of the hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments.

A

Ligaments connect liver to stomach and duodenum, respectively.

17
Q

Describe the formation and function of the liver during foregut development.

A

Liver arises as outgrowth from foregut endoderm.

18
Q

What are the primary sources of blood supply to the developing liver?

A

Blood supply comes from vitelline and umbilical veins.

19
Q

Explain the formation and function of the bile duct system.

A

Bile duct system forms from hepatic diverticulum and hepatic duct.

20
Q

What structures contribute to the formation of the bile duct system?

A

Contributions include hepatic duct, cystic duct, and common bile duct.

21
Q

Describe the development and function of the pancreas during foregut development.

A

Pancreas develops from ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds.

22
Q

What are the pancreatic buds, and what structures do they give rise to?

A

Buds give rise to exocrine and endocrine pancreas, respectively.

23
Q

Explain the significance of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds.

A

Dorsal bud forms body and tail, ventral bud contributes to head.

24
Q

Describe the fusion of the pancreatic buds during development.

A

Buds fuse to form main pancreatic duct system.

25
Q

What are the primary ducts formed by the fused pancreatic buds?

A

Forms pancreatic duct and accessory pancreatic duct.

26
Q

Explain the innervation of the foregut structures during development.

A

Innervation includes vagus and splanchnic nerves.

27
Q

What are the main nerves involved in the innervation of the foregut?

A

Vagus nerve supplies parasympathetic innervation, splanchnic nerves supply sympathetic.

28
Q

Describe the formation and function of the celiac artery.

A

Arises from abdominal aorta, supplies foregut structures.

29
Q

What structures does the celiac artery supply in the foregut region?

A

Supplies stomach, duodenum, liver, pancreas, and spleen.

30
Q

Explain the significance of the foregut derivatives in adult anatomy and physiology.

A

Foregut derivatives form essential components of digestion, respiration, and metabolism in adults.
