Embryology Flashcards
What are the structures that build the diaphragm
-septum tranversum
-pluroperitoneal membrane
-body wall
-dorsal esophageal mesentery
“Several Parts Build A Diaphragm”
What is the structure formed from septum transversum
central tendon
What is the structure formed from pleuroperitoneal membrane
-tendinous dorsolateral portion
What is the structure formed from body wall
-muscular peripheral portion
What is the structure formed from dorsal mesentery of esophagus
-crura
Regarding septum tranversum, what is its origin
-lateral plate mesoderm
Regarding septum tranversum, when is its formation
4th week
Regarding septum tranversum, when does it descend
6th week
Regarding septum tranversum, where is its location
-caudal to the pericardial cavity
Regarding septum tranversum, what happens after the migration
-the myotomes of C3, 4 and 5 will migrate to ST
-with the root of the phrenic nerve and pulls it down
Why is the pain in the diaphragm refers to the shoulder region
-because the innervation of the diaphragm is the same with the dermatomes of the shoulder region
-C3,4 and 5
The pleuroperitoneal membrane will grow ______ from the body wall
-medially
What is the fate after the growing of the pleuroperitoneal membrane
-it will encroach the pleuroperitoneal cavity
-it will fuse anteriorly and posteriorly
What is the structure does the pleuroperitoneal membrane fused anteriorly
-septum tranversum
What is the structure does the pleuroperitoneal membrane fused posteriorly
-dorsal esophageal mesentry
what are the congenital anomalies of the diaphragm
-congenital diaphragmatic hernia
-esophageal hiatal hernia
-retrostenal hernia
-eventration of the diaphragm
Definition of diaphragmatic hernia
-herniation of the abdominal content into the thoracic cavity
The cause of diaphragmatic hernia
-the failure of the pleuroperitoneal membrane to develop properly
The fate of diaphragmatic hernia
-pulmonary hypoplasia
