Q

sonic hedgehog signalling pathway

A

Q

mesentery

A

encloses organs (intraperitoneal)

Q

what does the foregut include

extends from lung bud diverticulum to bile duct opening of the duodenum, consists of pharync oesophagus stomach and perennial part of duodenum

25
Q

what does the oesophagus develop from

A

cranial part of the gut tube

26
Q

where does the lung bud develop from

A

ventral wall of the foregut
4 weeks

27
Q

Tracheo- oesophageal
septum (ridge)

A

The formation of a tracheoesophageal septum will divide the ventral trachea from the dorsal esophagus.

Failure to separate will result in tracheoesophageal fistula

28
Q

what forms the stomach

A

foregut dilates to form the stomach
week 4

creates lesser and greater curvatures

29
Q

what is the longitudinal rotation of the stomach

A

90 degrees rotation

30
Q

what is the second rotation of the stomach

A

Rotation along antero-posterior axis

31
Q

how is the stomach attached to both the ventral and dorsal wall

A

a mesentery called mesogastrium

32
Q

what does rotation along the longitudinal axis do to the mesentery

A

pulls the dorsal mesentery to the left

creates omental bursa behind the stomach (lesser sac)

33
Q

what is the duodenum formed from

A

caudal part of the foregut and the cranial part of the midgut tube

34
Q

blood supply of duodenum

A

Both coeliac trunk and
superior mesenteric artery

35
Q

retroperitoneal and duodenum

A

anatomical space (sometimes a potential space) behind (retro) the peritoneum

duodenum is retroperitoneal except from the duodenal cap

36
Q

what week of gestation is the liver bud formed

A

week 3

37
Q

hepatocytes, biliary epithelia

A

endodermal in origin

38
Q

Kupffer cells, haematopoietic cells and connective tissue

A

mesodermal origin (septum
transversum)

39
Q

Falciform ligament and lesser omentum

A

develops from ventral mesentery

40
Q

Gall bladder and cystic duct

A

(endodermal origin)

41
Q

what week of gestation does bile form

A

12th week

42
Q

spleen

A

mesodermal origin
week 5

43
Q

spleen in Weeks 15 to 17

A

colonised by T lymphocytes

44
Q

spleen in week 23

A

the B-cell precursors arrive and spleen starts it’s lymphoid function

45
Q

pancreas

A

endodermal in origin (wk-5)

46
Q

what happens as the duodenum rotates

A

the ventral bud also moves close to the
dorsal bud (wk-6)

47
Q

(bile duct and major pancreatic duct)

A

Major papilla

48
Q

Incomplete separation of lung bud

A

oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal
fistula

49
Q

what are some development abnormalities of the foregut?

A

Obliterated bile duct, distended hepatic duct
Duplication of gall bladder
Accessory pancreatic duct

50
Q

where does the midgut extend to and from?

A

from opening of bile duct into the duodenum to proximal 2/3rds of the transverse colon

51
Q

describe the formation of the primary intestinal loop?

A

Anti-clockwise rotation

Physiological herniation of intestinal loop (Wk-6)

Vitelline duct connects the ilium with yolk sac (up to 12th-14th wk)

Intestinal loops begin to move back into the abdominal cavity (wk-10)

52
Q

what develops around week 6 during formation of primary intestinal loop?

A

cecal bud develops

53
Q

what occurs after Intestinal loops begin to move back into the abdominal cavity (wk-10)

A

The midgut loop elongates and will differentiate into part of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, ascending colon, and two- thirds of the transverse colon

54
Q

what are common developmental abnormalities of the midgut?

A

Common anomalies: stenosis, malrotation etc.

55
Q

omphalocele

A

Failure of retraction of herniated intestinal loop through umbilical ring at week-10

56
Q

what happens when the vetelline duct persists

A

In 2-4% people a small vitelline duct persists
May form fistula/cyst / ligament/Meckel’s dive

57
Q

describe the development of the hindgut

A

Endodrmal origin: Distal 1/3rd transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum and upper part of the anal canal.
*Ectodermal origin: Lower part of the anal canal and anal orifice

58
Q

what is the origin of the cranial part of the anal canal

A

endodermal

59
Q

what is the origin of the caudal part of the anal canal

A

ectodermal
