25
Q

What are the three layers of muscle in the anterolateral abdominal wall?

A

External oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis.

26
Q

What is the fourth muscle of the anterolateral abdominal wall found anteriorly?

A

Rectus abdominis.

27
Q

What is deep to the muscle layers of the anterolateral abdominal wall?

A

Transversalis fascia.

28
Q

What is the inguinal canal?

A

An oblique passage through the layers of the abdominal wall.

29
Q

What is an umbilical hernia?

A

A congenital malformation where the intestines protrude through the abdominal wall.

30
Q

What is an inguinal hernia?

A

Where abdominal contents push against this weak point in the layers of abdominal wall.

31
Q

What is the intraembryonic coeloem divided into?

A

The future diaphragm and abdominal and thoracic cavities.

32
Q

How does the peritoneal membrane relate to the abdominal cavity?

A

It lines it and invest the viscera.

33
Q

How is the developing gut attached to the roof of the abdominal cavity?

A

It is held by a fold of mesoderm - dorsal mesoderm.

34
Q

What does the ventral mesentery do?

A

Attaches only the foregut portion of the gut tube to the floor of the abdominal cavity.

35
Q

Where are the left and right sacs from?

A

From the foregut dorsal and ventral mesenteries dividing.

36
Q

What does the left sac contribute to?

A

Greater peritoneal sac.

37
Q

What does the right sac contribute to?

A

The lesser peritoneal sac.

38
Q

What is the greater omentum formed from?

A

The dorsal mesentery of the stomach.

39
Q

What does the greater omentum connect?

A

The greater curve of the stomach to the transverse colon.

40
Q

What is the lesser omentum formed from?

A

The ventral mesentery of the stomach.

41
Q

What does the lesser omentum connect?

A

The lesser curve of the stomach to the liver.

42
Q

How are the greater and lesser sacs, and the omenta formed?

A

By rotation of the stomach.

43
Q

How does the greater curve of the stomach develop?

A

Faster growth of the dorsal border of the originally symmetrical stomach.

44
Q

What directions does the primitive stomach rotate in?

A

Around the longitudinal axis and around the anteroposterior axis.

45
Q

What are the results of stomach rotation?

A

Original left side is now the anterior side, the right side becomes posterior. The cardia and pylorus of the stomach are shifted away from the midline so greater curve is pushed inferiorly. Lesser sac moved behind stomach. Greater omentum created.

46
Q

What is peritoneal reflection?

A

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

47
Q

What are retroperitoneal structures?

A

Structures not suspended within the abdominal cavity. They don’t have a mesentery.

48
Q

What are some retroperitoneal structures?

A

Aorta, vena cava, kidneys.

49
Q

What are secondarily retroperitoneal structures?

A

Ones that began development invested by peritoneum, had a mesentery but with successive growth and development the mesentery is lost through fusion at the psoterior abdominal wall.

50
Q

What are some secondarily retroperitoneal structures?

A

Ascending and descending colon and the duodenum.

51
Q

What is fusion fascia?

A

Peritoneum of the posterior abdominal wall squished together with the duodenum and its mesentery, growing over it.

52
Q

Why can the fusion fascia be removed to make the duodenum mobile?

A

It is avascular so no damage is caused.

53
Q

When does the respiratory diverticulum form?

A

In the ventral wall of the foregut at the junction with the pharyngeal gut.

54
Q

What does the tracheoesophageal septum divide?

A

The respiratory diverticulum into the respiratory primordium ventrally and the oesophagus dorsally.

55
Q

How frequent are abnormally positioned tracheoesophageal septums?

A

1/3000 live births.

56
Q

What are the foregut derived glands in the ventral mesentery?

A

Liver, biliary system, and part of the pancreas.

57
Q

What are the foregut derived glands in the dorsal mesentery?

A

Pancreas - superior head, neck, body, and tail.

58
Q

What does the liver develop from?

A

The hepatic bud within the ventral mesentery.

59
Q

What is the earliest GI associated gland developed?

A

The liver.

60
Q

What happens to the duodenum in 5th/6th weeks and why?

A

The lumen is obliterated due to the lining growing so quickly.

61
Q

What happens to the duodenum by the end of the embryonic period?

A

It is recanalised.

62
Q

What is the effect of the stomach rotating on the duodenum?

A

It is pushed to the right and then back against the posterior abdominal wall.
