Embryology of the GI Flashcards
omphalocele
A new born baby born with herniation of abdominal viscera through an
enlarged umbilical ring
how long is the process of fertilisation to implantation in week 1
51/2 to 6 days
what occurs during week 2
bilaminar germ disk is formed
which gene is a transcription factor for establishing left sidedness
PTX2
what occurs during week 3
trilaminar germ disk formation (gastrulation)
what 3 processes occur during week 3
gastrulation
CNS induction
Neurulation
what three parts make up the trilaminar germ disc
ectoderm
intraembryonic mesoderm
endoderm
organogenesis
organ malformation can happen during this period from exposure to any teratogenic substance
when can organogesis occur
week 3-8
teratogens
drugs
virus
thalidomide (limb deformities)
what structures originate from ebryonic ectoderm
Skin (epidermis, hair, nail), CNS,PNS, sensory epithelia of the eye,ear, nose & other structures (pituitary,mammary and sweat glands, enamel of teeth),adrenal medulla etc.
what structures originate from embryonic endoderm
Epithelial lining of Respiratory system, GIT, glands, liver (hepatocyte and biliary epithelium), pancreas,
thyroid, parathyroid parenchyma, urinary bladder etc.
Embryonic mesoderm
- muscles, bones,cartilage, dermis, vascular system, urogenital system except bladder, spleen, liver
mesenchyme, adrenal cortex etc.
when does the development of the gut tube occur
during the 3rd and 4th week drom the endodermal lining of the yolk sac
what gives rise to parietal and visceral mesoderm
lateral plate mesoderm
what does parietal layer line
body cavity
what does visceral layer line
gut tube
what happens to the connection of the gut tube with the yolk sac over time
it becomes smaller until it is only connected at umbilical cord by vitelline duct
when does the connection between the gut tube and yolk sac no longer exist
12-14 weeks
what is the gut tube closed by at the cranial end
oropharyngeal membrane
what is the gut tube closed by at the caudal end
cloacal membrane
sonic hedgehog signalling pathway
secretion of SHH by gut stimulates expression of HOX gene
craniocaudal organisation of gut
Instructs what it should become - eg small intestine, large intestine or cloaca
mesentery
ventral and dorsal
double layers of peritoneum
hangs the gut tube from body wall
encloses organs (intraperitoneal)
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
