Embryology Flashcards
what is the intraembryonic body caivty derived from
lateral plate mesoderm
what does the lateral plate mesoderm divide into
parietal and visceral mesoderm
what does parietal mesoderm form? visceral?
parietal serous membranes
visceral becomes visceral serous membranes and muscles of organs
what causes fusion of the body wall ventrally
body folding
when does the intraembryonic cavity become completely separate from extra embryonic cavity
week 12
what causes body wall defects
ventral body wall fails to fuse and viscera herniate through defect
what are examples of body wall defects
ectopic cordis
gastroschisis
bladder/cloacal exstrophy
cantrell’s pentology
what are the characteristics of cantrell’s pentology
cleft sternum ectopic cordis gastroschisis diaphragmatic hernia congenital heart defects
what is a mesentery
double layer of peritoneum
what is derived from the dorsal mesentery
mesoesophagus greater omentum splenorenal lig phrenicosplenic lig phrenicocolic lig mesentery proper mesoappendix transverse mseocolon sigmoid mesocolon
what suspends the gut tube
ventral mesentary to anterior body wall
dorsal mesentary to posterior body wall
what are derivatives of ventral mesentery
lesser omentum
falcifom lig
coronary and triangular lig
what organs are primary retroperitonealized
kidneys, ureters and bladder
what organs are secondary retroperitonealized
duodenum, ascending, descending colon, pancreas
what organs are peritonealized
stomach, spleen, parts 1 and 4 of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, transverse and sigmoid colon
what are the two main steps in partitioning of the intraembryonic body cavity
septum transversum
pleuropericardial and pleuroperitoneal membranes
what separates the thoracic and peritoneal cavities
plate of mesoderm (septum transvedsum)
what does the septum transversum for
bulk of diaphragm, muscle and central tendon
what is still left after septum transversum
leaves pericardioperitoneal canals on either side of the foregut
what does the pleuropericardial membranes separate
pleural and pericardial cavities
what does the pleuroperitoneal membranes separate
separate pleural and peritoneal cavities
what somites form the mseoderm of the diaphragm
cervical somites 3-5
what causes descent of diaphragm into thorax
differential growth
by week 8, the diaphragm is at what vertebral level
1st lumbar vertebra
What is the innervation of the diaphragm
motor- phrenic
sensory- phrenic n to central tendon, intercostal nn to muscular diaphragm
What is a bochdalek hernia
posterolateral defect, congenital diaphragmatic hernia
what causes bochdaleks hernia
incomplete formation of pleuroperitoneal membranes
small intestine or other viscera, herniate through defect into pleural cavity
lungs and heart are compressed, common cause pulmonary hypoplasia
what is a morgagni hernia
parasternal hernia, anterior defect in muscular portion of diaphragm, small sometimes not detected at very young ages
what is eventration of the diaphragm
weakness of diaphragm due to failure of myotome migration
allows abdominal visceral to “balloon” into the thoracic cavity
what germ layers contribute to formation of gut tube
endoderm- epithelium and glands
mesoderm- CT and smooth mm
ectoderm- epithelium at ends of tube
when do the rostral and caudal ends reopen
4th and 7th week
What are the portions of the gut
foregut, midgut and hindgut
what is included in the foregut
pharynx, esophagus, stomach, parts one and two of duodenum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen
what artery supplies most of foregut
celiac artery
