Q

Development of oesophagus (2 points)

A

Develops from cranial part of gut tube
The lung bud develops on ventral wall of foregut then the tracheo-oesophageal septum divides the foregut into trachea and oesophagus

Q

Development of stomach (4 points)

A

in 4th week, foregut dilates to form stomach shape
Differential growth of the stomach wall creates greater and lesser curvatures
The still developing stomach (dilated foregut) rotates 90 degrees longitudinally clockwise so that the originally anterior border is now on the left and the posterior border on the right
Then it rotates anterio-posteriorly

Q

Development of lesser sac (omental bursa) (2 points)

A

Stomach attached to dorsal and ventral wall by mesogastrium

Rotation of the stomach longitudinally pulls the dorsal mesentery to the left creating the lesser sac behind the lesser omentum, stomach and gastrocolic ligament

20
Q

Development of duodenum (3 points) - developed from what parts of the gut tube…

A 
Formed from caudal part of foregut and cranial part of midgut
As stomach rotates, duodenum becomes c shaped and also rotates
Duodenal cap (first part) retains its dorsal mesentery but the rest of duodenum is retroperitoneal
21
Q

Duodenum 2 blood supplies + why

A

Celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery

Because it’s part of foregut and midgut

22
Q

Development of liver and bile duct and gallbladder and cystic duct (4 points)

A

Liver bud appears in 3rd week - bud is an outgrowth of endoderm in the distal foregut
Liver bud grows into the septum transversum (separates pericardial cavity and yolk stalk)
Connection between the liver bud and foregut narrows to form bile duct
Ventral outgrowth from bile duct forms the gallbladder + cystic duct

23
Q

Development of spleen (2 points)

A

End of 4th week, spleen develops in the dorsal mesogastrium as a mesenchymal condensation
5th week, this mesenchyme differentiates to form spleen

24
Q

What happens to spleen in weeks 15 - 17 (2)

A

Acquires a lobular shape and colonised by T lymphocytes

25
Q

Development of pancreas

A 
2 buds (ventral and dorsal) grow from the endodermal lining of the duodenum in week 5
As duodenum rotates, the ventral bud moves closer to the dorsal bud and comes to lie directly behind and below the dorsal bud
The 2 buds fuse
26
Q

What does the ventral bud become in formation of the pancreas

A

Becomes a protusion out of the organ and the inferior part of the head of the pancreas

27
Q

3 foregut developmental anomalies

A

Oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula
Annular pancreas
Accessory pancreatic tissue

28
Q

What happens in oesophageal atresia and trachea-oesophageal fistula

A

Tracheo-oesophageal septum deviates incorrectly, then there is a incomplete separation of laryngo-tracheal tube

29
Q

What is an annular pancreas (2 points)

A

Ventral bud fails to migrate around the duodenum correctly

Second part of the duodenum is surrounded by a ring of pancreatic tissue constricting it –> duodenal stenosis

30
Q

What is accessory pancreatic tissue

A

Pancreatic tissue forming in other ares of foregut

31
Q

Midgut structures (7) DJ ICAAP acronym

A

Distal part of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum, appendix, ascending colon, proximal 2/3rds of the transverse colon

32
Q

Development of midgut (5 points)

A

Gut tube rapidly elongates
Midgut is described as the PRIMARY INTESTINAL LOOP
6th week - primary intestinal loop rotates 90 degrees anticlockwise around the axis of the superior mesenteric artery
As the rotation occurs, the midgut loop herniates into the umbilical cord because not enough room to grow
During 10th-11th week the herniation moves back into abdomen because the space has grown

33
Q

2 key events in midgut development

A

90 degree anticlockwise rotation and physiological herniation

34
Q

The cephalic/cranial part of primary intestinal loop forms…

A

distal duodenum, jejunum and proximal ileum

35
Q

Caudal part of primary intestinal loop forms

A

distal ileum, caecum, appendix, ascending colon and the proximal 2/3rds of the transverse colon

36
Q

5 midgut developmental anomalies

A 
Abnormal rotation of primary intestinal loop
Reversed rotation
Omphalocele 
Gastroschisis
Remnants of vitelline duct
37
Q

What is an omphalocele (2 points)

A

When the herniation of the midgut loop into the umbilical cord doesn’t move back into the abdominal cavity
So abdominal organs (covered by amnion/peritoneum) herniate out umbilicus in the baby

38
Q

What is gastroschisis + potential cause (2 points)

A

Herniation of intestines outside the body through a hole next to umbilicus without any amnion/peritoneum covering
Maybe due to cocaine use

39
Q

What is Meckel’s diverticulum

A

A slight bulge in the small intestine - remnant of the vitelline duct

40
Q

Hindgut structures (5)

A

Distal 1/3rd transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum and upper part of the anal canal

41
Q

Development of hindgut (2 points)

A

Terminal hindgut joins with posterior part of the cloaca (primitive anal canal)
Allantois enters into the anterior part of the cloaca

42
Q

What is the cloaca

A

endoderm lined cavity with surface ectoderm at its ventral boundary (cavity at the end of the digestive tract for the release of both excretory and genital products)

43
Q

What forms the cloacal membrane

A

Endoderm/ectoderm boundary

44
Q

4 hindgut developmental anomalies

A

Urorectal fistula
Rectovaginal fistula
Rectoanal atresia
Imperforate anus

45
Q

What is urorectal fistula

A

Incomplete separation of the hindgut from the urogenital sinus by the urorectal septum

46
Q

What is rectovaginal fistula

A

Abnormal connection between rectum and vagina

47
Q

What is imperforate anus

A

Failure of anal membrane to break down
