25
Q

What does the ventral mesentery around the liver become?

A

its visceral peritoneum

26
Q

How does the ventral mesentery reflect?

A

reflects onto the diaphragm and the area between these reflections is the bare area of the liver is where it contacts the diaphragm

27
Q

What does the cystic diverticulum form?

A

gallbladder and cystic duct

28
Q

What occurs on day 26 regarding the pancreas and gall bladder?

A
  • pancreatic bud begins to grow into the dorsal mesentery just opposite the hepatic diverticulum
  • Another endodermal diverticulum, the ventral pancreatic bud, develops and grows into the ventral mesentery just caudal to the developing gallbladder
29
Q

What does the ventral pancreatic bud give rise to?

A
  • ventral pancreas –> uncinate process
  • the common bile duct
30
Q

How does the rotation of the duodenum impact the development of the pancreas?

A

rotation of the duodenum causes the ventral bud to migrate around to lie behind & fuse with the dorsal bud so that the adult pancreas lies in the curve of the duodenum

31
Q

What occurs when ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds fuse?

A

theur ductal systems become interconnected

32
Q

What happens ti the proximal portion of the duct of dorsal pancreas?

A

degenerates

33
Q

What is a remnant of the duct of the dorsal bud?

A

accessory duct

34
Q

What buds unite to form the main pancreatic duct?

A

ducts of the dorsal and ventral buds

35
Q

How do the ventral and dorsal ducts regress?

A

ventral = distally

dorsal = proximally

36
Q

What does the spleen develop from?

A

a mesenchymal condensation develops within dorsal mesentery near the body wall.

condensation differentiates during the fifth week to form the spleen

37
Q

How is the spleen translocated?

A

rotation of the stomach and growth of the dorsal mesogastrium translocate the spleen to the left side of the abdominal cavity

38
Q

What is the portion of dorsal mesentery between the spleen and the stomach called?

A

gastrosplenic ligament.

39
Q

What does the midgut form?

A
  • distal duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum, ascending colon, and proximal two thirds of the transverse colon
  • The future ileum elongates more rapidly and by the fifth week the midgut makes the primary intestinal loop
40
Q

What causes the primary intestinal loop to hernaite into the umbilicus during the 6th week?

A

Pressure of growing abdominal organs (especially the liver)

41
Q

What occurs as the primary loop herniates?

A

As the primary intestinal loop herniates, it rotates around the axis of the superior mesenteric artery by 90 degrees counter-clockwise (as viewed from the ventral side) so that the future ileum lies in the right abdomen and the future large intestine lies in the left abdomen

42
Q

What does the SI form by continuing with elongation?

A

jejunal-ileal loops

43
Q

What occurs during the 10th week?

A

midgut retracts into the abdomen

44
Q

What occurs during the 11th week?

A
  • eleventh week, the retracting midgut completes this rotation
  • the caecum is positioned just inferior to the liver.
45
Q

What happens to the caecum post being positioned just inferior to the liver?

A

caecum is then displaced inferiorly, pulling down the proximal hindgut to form the ascending colon.

46
Q

What happens to the descending colon around week 11?

A

descending colon is simultaneously fixed on the left side of the posterior abdominal wall. The jejunum, ileum, transverse colon, and sigmoid colon remain suspended by mesentery.

47
Q

What does the hindgut form?

A

forms the distal third of the transverse colon, the descending and sigmoid colon, and the upper two thirds of the anorectal canal.

48
Q

What expansion does the primitive gut tube form just superior to the clocal membrane?

A

cloaca

49
Q

What extends from the cloaca into the yolk sac?

A

a slim diverticulum called the allantois

50
Q

What occurs during the 4th to 6th weeks to the cloaca?

A

a coronal urorectal septum divides the cloaca

  • Anteriorly the cloaca develops into the urogenital sinus urogenital structures
  • Posteriorly the cloaca develops into the anorectal canal (proximal 2/3 anal canal)
51
Q

What does the pectinate line mark?

A

marks the boundary between hindgut endoderm and ectoderm, hence the boundary between different sources of blood & nerve (somatic vs autonomic)

52
Q

What does the remnant of ventral mesentery connecting the liver to the anterior body wall become?

A

falciform ligament

53
Q

What is the function of the free caudal margin of the falciform ligament?

A

carries the umbilical vein from the body wall to the liver

54
Q

What forms the lesser omentum?

A

The ventral mesentery between the liver and lesser curvature of the stomach

55
Q

What is the caudal border of the lesser omentum called?

A

hepatoduodenal ligament

connecting the liver to the duodenum

56
Q

What does the hepatoduodenal ligament contain?

A

the portal vein, the proper hepatic artery and the common bile

duct

57
Q

What is the region of the lesser omentum between the liver and the stomach called?

A

hepatogastric ligament

58
Q
A
  • In the ileum
  • In 2% of people
  • Remnant of the vitelline duct
  • It may ulcerate causing signs/ symptoms similar to appendicitis
  • Patent vitelline duct or vitelline fistula causes faecal discharge at the umbilicus
59
Q
A

The ventral pancreas may consist of two lobes, which if they migrate around the duodenum in opposite directions to fuse with the dorsal pancreatic bud, form an annular pancreas

60
Q

What is Hirschsprung disease?

A

Lack of normal development of the colonic innervation

Leads to a constricted aganglionic segment of bowel with a distended segment proximally the innervation of which is normal

61
Q
A

congenital abnormalities of the hindgut

A = urorectal fistula

B = Rectovaginal fistula

C = rectoperineal fistual

D = anal pit
