Embryology 1. Development of the Peritoneum and Foregut Flashcards
What is the significance of lateral folding in the fourth week to GI development?
It creates the ventral body wall and primitive gut tube becomes tubular.
What is the significance of craniocaudal folding in the fourth to GI development?
It creates the cranial and caudal pockets from the yolk sac endoderm - the beginning of primitive gut tube development.
What are the three division of the primitive gut tube?
Foregut, midgut, and hindgut.
What is the primitive gut tube lined with?
Endoderm.
When does development of the primitive gut tube begin?
Week 3, when it pinches off from the yolk sac cavity.
Where does the primitive gut tube run from and to?
From the stomatodeum (future mouth) to the proctoderm (future anus).
Where are the openings of the primitive gut tube?
To the umbilicus via the vitelline duct.
What are the internal and external linings of the primitive gut tube derived from?
Internal lining from endoderm. External lining from splanchnic mesoderm.
Where is the primitive gut tube suspended and by what?
In the intraembryonic coelom by a double layer of splanchnic mesoderm.
What are the adult derivative of the foregut?
Oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, duodenum (proximal to entrance of bile duct).
What is the blood supply to foregut derivatives?
Coeliac trunk.
What are the adult derivatives of the midgut?
Duodenum (distal to entrance of bile duct), jejunum, ileum, caecum, ascending colon, proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon.
What is the blood supply to the midgut derivatives?
Superior mesenteric artery and vein.
What is the innervation of the midgut derivatives?
Parasympathetic - vagus. Sympathetic - superior mesenteric ganglion and plexus.
What are the adult derivatives of the hindgut?
Distal 1/3 of the transverse colon, descending colon, sigmmoid colon, rectum, upper anal canal, internal lining of bladder and urethra.
What is the blood supply to the hindgut derivatives?
Inferior mesenteric artery and vein.
What is the innervation of the hindgut derivatives?
Parasympathetic - pelvic nerve (S2, S3, S4). Sympathetic - inferior mesenteric ganglion and plexus.
What are the layers that the mesoderm surrounding the gut splits into?
Somatic mesoderm and splanchnic mesoderm.
What does the somatic mesoderm develop into?
Into the muscle and fasciae of the abdominal wall.
What does the splanchnic mesoderm develop into?
The smooth muscles of the gut wall.
What is the coelomic cavity?
The space from the splitting of the mesoderm layers.
What surrounds the primitive gut?
Coelomic cavity.
How is the linea alba formed?
With lateral folding, the two sides of the developing anterolateral abdominal wall meet in the midline.
Where is an opening left with the anterolateral abdominal wall meeting in the midline?
At the umbilicus.
