Embriology Flashcards
Origin of epith of digestive tract + parenchyma of some glands
Endoderm
Origin of muscle walls of viscera + CT layers surrounding viscera
Mesoderm
Liver arises from
Liver bud
Liver bud protrudes into
Ventral mesogastrium
Ventral mesogastrium divides into
Gastrohepatic / lesser omentum
Falciform ligament
Gastrohepatic / lesser omentum connects
Stomach and liver
Falciform ligament connects
Liver to the ventral wall
Liver location
R side
Liver functions
Glycogen production
Albumin production
Protein metabolism
Bile secretion
Hematopoietic function (after embryonic splanchnic mesoderm)
Bile is stored in
Gallbladder
Gallbladder origin
Hepatic duct grows and gives it
Gallbladder is connected to the liver by
Cystic duct
Gallbladder reaches duodenum through
Common bile duct
Pancreas origin from
Ventral + dorsal pancreatic duct
They fuse and for the head, neck and body
Ventral pancreatic duct arises from
Common bile duct
Relation main pancreatic duct - duodenum
It opens through the common bile duct into the 2nd portion of the duodenum, so both hepatic and pancreatic secretions enter here to participate in digestion.
Accessory pancreatic duct origin
Dorsal pancreas duct that persist a persist as a little accessory pancreatic duct
Accessory pancreatic duct function
When the main pancreatic duct is blocked
