atresias- no recanalization at all in week 8
stenosis- incomplete recanalization

both can also be caused by malformation of tracheoesophageal septum

41
Q

what causes a congenital hiatal hernia

A

esophagus fails to elongate and pulls the stomach through diaphragm

stomach rotates 90 degrees clockwise pushing the greater curvature (dorsal) left and the lesser curvature (ventral) right

43
Q

which way does the stomach orient around the anterioposterior axis

A

plyoric part moves upward to the right and cardiac down to the left

44
Q

where is the omental bursa

A

inferior and posterior to the stomach

45
Q

what is pyloric stenosis

A

hypertrophy of smooth m around pyloric sphincter

forcible vomiting of stomach contents after eating

46
Q

what is the spleen derived from

A

mesenchymal cells within 2 layers of dorsal mesogastrium

47
Q

what causes the spleen to be in ULQ

A

rotation of gut

48
Q

What is the hepatic diverticulum

A

outgrowth from second portion of duodenum

49
Q

what 2 germ layers form the liver and what parts

A

endoderm becomes parenchyma and mesoderm becomes stroma

50
Q

when does the liver start functioning as a hematopoietic organ

A

2nd month

51
Q

when does bile formation begin in liver

A

week 12

52
Q

what forms the gall bladder

A

evagination of bile duct

53
Q

where is the bile duct in relation to duodenum and why

A

posterior to duodenum because rotation of foregut

54
Q

what does the pancreas arise from

A

2 endoermal layers of duodenum. ventral and dorsal buds

55
Q

what leads to fusion of the pancreatic buds

A

rotation of duodenum

56
Q

majority of the pancreas is derived from what bud

A

dorsal, the ventral forms lower portion of head and uncinate process

57
Q

where is the main pancreatic duct derived form? accessory?

A

main is from ventral pancreatic and distal dorsal

accessory pancreatic duct is derived from proximal part of dorsal pancreatic duct

58
Q

What can cause acessory pancreatic tissue

A

abnormal migration of tissue during gut rotation

59
Q

What is a annular pancreas and what can be a result

A

bifid ventral pancreatic bud that encircles duodenum during rotation and can constrict duodenum after fusion

60
Q

What occurs with maternal diabetes

A

fetal insulin secreting cells see high glucose and hypertrophy because of increased rate of insulin secretion

61
Q

What portions of the gut gives rise to the duodenum

A

foregut (parts 1 and 2)

midgut (parts 3 and 4)

62
Q

what happens in the 2nd moth to the duodenum

A

obliterated and recanalizes

if vomit is green most likely from 3rd/4th part because pass the ampulla
if vomit is white then most likely from 1st or 2nd part (milk)

Q

how long is the midgut in comunication with yolk sac via vitelline duct

A

week 10 they separate

66
Q

what happens with physiologic herniation of the midgut during week 6

A

gut around superior mesenteric a herniates through umbilical ring into extraembryonic cavity

67
Q

what occurs during midgut rotation

A

primary intestinal loop undergoes 270 degree rotation counterclockwise resulting in a twisted mesentery proper and ascending/descneding colons become secondarily retroperitoneal

Q

when do the herniated intestinal loops of midgut retract

A

during week 10

Q

where does the cecum retract to initially and then how does it change

A

retracts to URQ but then descends and the appendix thus gets dragged behind it

A

failure of midgut to return to abdominal cavity

tissue will protrude through the umbilicus and is covered in amniotic membrane

71
Q

What is gastroschisis

A

when gut herniates through weakness in body wall
lateral to umbilicus
results from incomplete fusion of ventral body wall during folding
NOT covered by amniotic membrane

72
Q

What is an umbilical hernia

A

results when gut herniates into umbilical cord after returning to abdominal cavity
skin covering hernia

73
Q

What is Meckel’s diverticulum

A

persistence of vitelline duct- connection to umbilicus
2% population, 2x more likely in ales
2 feet of ileum, 2 inches long
2% symptomatic BEFORE AGE 2

74
Q

What can malrotation of midgut result in

what can lead to stenoses and atresias of the midgut

A

failure to recanalize

76
Q

What results from a failure of the ascending colon to becom retroperitoneal

A

long mesocolon allowing for abnomral movements and potential volvulus of colon
or retrocolic hernia (entrapment of SI behind colon)

77
Q

what germ layer lines the hindgut

A

endoderm

78
Q

What structure forms the hindgut

A

cloaca

79
Q

what are the steps of hindgut development
