Development Of The GI Tract Flashcards
What does cephalocaudal folding create?
Cranial and caudal pockets from the yolk sac endoderm (beginning primitive gut development)
What does lateral folding of the embryo create?
The ventral body wall Primitive gut becomes tubular
Structure of the primitive gut at the very earliest stage? (PICTURE)
A blind-ended tube of the foregut and the hindgut Midgut remains connected with the yolk sac
In which week does the primitive gut tube begin developing and how?
3rd week Pinches off from yolk sac cavity
Where does the primitive gut tube run from and to?
Stomatodeum (future mouth) to proctodeum (future anus) Has an opening for the umbilicus
Where is the epithelial lining of the future gut derived from?
Endoderm
Where is the external lining of the gut tube derived from?
Splanchnic mesoderm
What is the external lining of the gut tube composed of?
Musculature and visceral peritoneum
What is the midgut connected to the yolk sac by?
Vitelline duct
Where is the gut tube suspended and by what?
Suspended in the intraembryonic coelom by a double layer of splanchnic mesoderm
Adult derivatives of the foregut?
Oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, duodenum (proximal to entrance of the bile duct)
What are the adult derivatives of the midgut?
Duodenum (distal to entrance of the bile duct), jejunum, ileum, cecum, ascending colon, proximal two thirds transverse colon
Adult derivatives of the hind gut?
Distal third of transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, upper anal canal, internal lining of bladder and urethra
Blood supply to each part of the primitive gut tube?
Foregut - celiac trunk Midgut - superior mesentric artery Hindgut - inferior mesentric artery
Which structures have a mixed blood supply?
Those that develop close to the junction between foregut and midgut Such as -the duodenum - proximal to entry of bile duct is celiac trunk, distally is SMA -pancreas - head supplied by celiac trunk and SMA
What is the intraembryonic coelom (cavity) divided by and into what?
Divided by the diaphragm into abdominal and thoracic cavities
What is the serous membrane in the abdominal and thoracic cavity?
Abdominal - peritoneal membrane Thoracic - pleural membrane
