27
Q

Why & when does the oropharyngeal membrane break off

A

Dilation of foregut

29
Q

What is the two parts of the stomach/mesogastrium, their attachment & what they become

A

Ventral mesogastrium attach to anterior body wall forming lesser curvature
Dorsal mesogastrium attach to posterior body wall forming greater curvature

30
Q

What is the omental bursa

A

A cavity that is formed between the stomach & posterior body wall when dorsal mesogastrium is pulled by rotating stomach

31
Q

How does omental bursa communicate w/ peritoneal cavity

A

Omental foramen

Q

What forms the lesser omemtum

A

Upper recess that extends behind liver

33
Q

What forms the greater omemtum

A

Lower recess that extends over small intestine

34
Q

What is the results of the anteroposterior rotation

A

Reposition the superior end of the stomach & bend duodenum into C shaped loop

35
Q

To what does the liver bud give rise to

A

Liver, gallbladder & biliary duct system

36
Q

Inside which structures does the liver & gallbladder form

A

Ventral mesogastrium

37
Q

What does the endoderm & mesoderm extend into

A

Septum transversum

38
Q

What does septum transversum become

A

Stroma, hematopoetic cells & Kupffer cells

39
Q

What forms the sinusoids of the liver

A

Branches of liver bud, umbilical vein & vitaline vein

40
Q

What structures connect the liver

A

Lesser omemtum connects liver to stomach
Falciform ligament connect to ventral body wall

41
Q

From what does the pancreas form

A

Two pancreatic buds forms from duodenum

42
Q

What is the two buds that form when forming the pancreas

A

Dorsal bud forms the tail, body & part of head
Ventral bud forms most of head

43
Q

Why does bile & pancreatic duct enter the duodenum at the same point

A

Ventral bud initially part of bile duct & migrated to dorsal pancreas which fuses
