Digestive System Development Flashcards
What week does body folding occur?
Week 4
What forms the innermost lining of the primitive gut tube?
Endoderm from the dorsal portion of yolk sac which is incorporated into the embryo
epithelial lining and glands of the GI tract
Endoderm
What does the yolk sac endoderm form?
Embryonic midgut- with temporary connection with yolk sac
3 regions of the primitive gut tube
Foregut, midgut and hindgut
What does the oropharyngeal membrane develop into
Mouth
What does the cloacal membrane develop into
Anus
Smooth muscle and connective tissue of the GI tract
Splanchnic (visceral) mesoderm
Organs which are completely enclosed in mesentery and connected to wall via mesentery
Intraperitoneal
Organs that lies against posterior body wall and is covered with peritoneum on anterior surface only
Retroperitoneal
The serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity (parietal) & organs (visceral)
Peritoneum
A double-layer of peritoneum that suspends an organ from can contain CT, fat, blood vessels, lymphatics, nerves)
Mesentery
Formed from somatic mesoderm
Parietal
Formed from splanchnic mesoderm
Visceral
What are the caudal part of the foregut, the midgut, and major part of the hindgut suspended from?
Posterior body wall via the dorsal mesentery
Extends from lower end of esophagus to cloacal region of hindgut
Dorsal Mesentery
Formed via visceral mesoderm layers meeting and fusing in midline
Dorsal Mesentery
The connecting tissue bridge has narrowed and the caudal part of the foregut, the midgut, and a major part of the hindgut are suspended from the posterior abdominal wall via the dorsal mesentery by what week
5
Dorsal mesentery in region of the stomach
Dorsal mesogastrium (greater omentum)
Dorsal mesentery in region of the duodenum
Mesoduodenum
Dorsal mesentery in region of the colon
Dorsal mesocolon
Dorsal mesentery of jejunal and ileal loops
Mesentery proper
What are the division of the dorsal mesentery
- Dorsal mesogastrium (greater omentum)
- Mesoduodenum
- Dorsal mesocolon
- Mesentery proper
Fuse in midline, runs for dorsal end of esophagus to hindgut
Dorsal from visceral mesoderm-
Divides that runs the entire length of the GI tract
Dorsal Mesentery
Holds small intestine to internal body wall
Mesentery proper
Mesodermal tissue that gives rise to central tendon of diaphragm and connective tissue in the liver
Septum transversum
Derived from the septum transversum
Ventral Mesentery
Where does ventral mesentery exist?
terminal esophagus, stomach, and upper part of duodenum
What will the portion of the septum transversum, consiting of densely packed mesoderm form?
Central tendon of diaphragm
What is ventral mesetery associated with?
Foregut
Extends from lower portion of esophagus, stomach, & upper portion of duodenum to liver
Lesser Omentum
Extends from liver to ventral body wall
Falciform ligament
Liver grows in the mesenchyme of the septum transversum, dividing ventral mesentery into
Lesser omentum & falciform ligament
Forms the peritoneal connection between the foregut and the ventral abdominal wall
Ventral mesentery
Mesoderm on the surface of the liver differentiates into visceral peritoneum except where?
Cranial surface
Stomach into liver
Lesser omentum
Holds liver to anterior body wall
Falciform ligament
Free inferior margin of falciform ligament
Round ligament of the liver
Contains obliterated umbilical v
Round ligament of the liver
Free margin of lesser omentum connecting duodenum & liver
Hepatoduodenual ligament
Contains portal triad (bile duct, portal v., & hepatic a.)
Hepatoduodenual ligament
What happens to the umbilical vein?
Obliterated after birth
Neural crest cells form the enteric nervous system (brain of the gut) functions without innervation of the brain
Ectoderm
Derived from ectoderm & ectodermal contribution of GI tract
Enteric Nervous System
What artery does the foregut supply?
Celiac (trunk) Artery
What artery does the midgut supply?
Superior mesenteric artery
What artery does the hindgut supply?
Inferior mesenteric artery
What does each gut region suppy?
One of three major arteries off abdominal aorta
- Pharynx
- Lower respiratory system
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Proximal ½ of duodenum (includes the pancreatic and bile duct papillae)
- Associated organs (liver, gallbladder, biliary system, pancreas, spleen*)
Foregut derivatives
Not a digestive organ but develops with foregut
Spleen
Develops as the portion of the foregut immediately caudal to the pharynx
Esophagus
Endodermal outgrowth from the esophagus
Respiratory diverticulum
Grows out from the ventral side of the foregut & develops respiratory system
Respiratory diverticulum
What week does the respiratory diverticulum appear
During week 4
At what week does a fusiform dilation of the foregut appear?
Week 4
