S2-S4
Nerves for parasymp innervation
pelvic splanchnic nerves
Retinoic acid in GI development
creates gradient and for certain transcription factors to be expressed in different areas of the gut
Proximal to distal concentration of distal gut tube
Increasing retinoic acid
Sonic Hedgehog in gut tube development
initiates interaction between epithelium and mesenchyme
Where is epithelium derived from
endoderm
Where is mesenchyme derived from
splanchnic mesoderm
What is derived from the endoderm
epithelium and glands
What is derived from splanchnic mesoderm
lamina proria, submucosa, muscularis layers, serosa/adventitia
What mesesntery is the gut tube suspended by?
doral
