A

The stomach

89
Q

How does the shape of the stomach change during development?

A

Initially, it is symmetrical, and then as it enlarges in expands unevenly, mainly towards the left

90
Q

What creates the greater curvature of the stomach?

A

The faster growth of the dorsal border

91
Q

In what manner does the primitive stomach rotate?

A

In two directions, around the longitudinal axis and around the anteroposterior axis

92
Q

What is the result of stomach rotation?

A
  • The original left side becomes anterior
  • The original right side becomes posterior
  • Vagus nerves lie anterior and posterior instead of left and right
  • Shifts cardia and pylorus from the midline, pushing the greater curve inferiorly
  • Moves the lesser sac behind the stomach
  • Creates the greater omentum
93
Q

Draw a diagram illustrating the longitudinal rotation of the stomach

A
94
Q

Draw a diagram illustrating the anteroposterior rotation of the stomach

A
95
Q

What is peritoneal reflection?

A

A change in direction, from parietal peritoneum to mesentery, from mesentery to visceral peritoneum etc

96
Q

Draw a diagram illustrating peritoneal reflection

A
97
Q

Give two parts of the GI tract that remain suspended from the posterior abdominal wall?

A
  • The jejenum
  • The ileum
98
Q

How do some parts of the GI tract remain suspended from the posterior abdominal wall?

A

By mesentery

99
Q

What is the consequence of some parts of the GI tract remaining suspended from the psoterior abdominal wall?

A

They remain mobile

100
Q

Q

Give three examples of structures that are secondary retroperitoneal

A
  • Ascending colon
  • Descending colon
  • Duodenum
105
Q

What happens to the duodenum and its mesentery during development?

A

It is pushed against the posterior abdominal wall

106
Q

Why is the duodenum and its mesentery pushed against the posterior abdominal wall during development?

A

Due to the rotation of the stomach and the large size of the liver

107
Q

What produces fusion fascia?

A

The peritoneum of posteiror abdominal wall is ‘squished together’ with the duodenum and its mesentery, growing over it

108
Q

Is fusion fascia vascular or avascular?

A

Avascular

109
Q

What is the consequence of fusion fascia being avascular?
