Q

fate map: stomach

A
  1. expansion of caudal foregut (greater sac)
  2. longitudinal rotation:
    a. greater and lesser curvature
    b. spleen swings left
    c. liver swings right
  3. ant/ post. rotation:
    a. fundus moves left and inferiorly
    b. pyloris moves right and superiorly
20
Q

spleen divides the dorsal mesentry of the stomach into ___ and ___ ligaments

A

splenorenal ligament

gastroplenic ligament

21
Q

lesser sac (omental bursa)

A

arises from: peritoneal space

def: the space posterior to the stomach after it completes its rotation

22
Q

greater sac

A

arises from: peritoneal space

def: space anterior to the stomach, grows into the greater omentum

23
Q

epiploic foramen

A

def: a communication between the greater and lesser sacs located near the hilum of the liver

24
Q

uncinate process of the pancreas arises from

A

ventral pancreatic bud

25
Q

tail of pancreas

A

dorsal pancreatic bud

26
Q

fate map: duodenum
1
2.
3.

A
  1. foregut forms
  2. long & coronal rotation of stomach: pull duodenum into a C-shape around the head of the pancreas
  3. the duodenum is pressed against the dorsal body wall: it becomes secondarily retroperitoneal
27
Q

fate map: pancreas
1.
2.
3.

A
  1. two buds form
    a. ventral pancreatic bud forms from bile duct
    b. dorsal pancreatic bud forms in foregut
  2. rotation of duodenum: ventral bud rotates and meets with dorsal pancreatic bud
  3. compression against dorsal body wall: secondarily retroperitoneal

A

event: structure (s)
1. outgrowth of ventral foregut: liver bud
2. differentiation
a. parenchyma- arise from liver bud
b. connective tissue: aries from septum transversum
3. narrowing of foregut connection: bile duct formation
4. outgrowth of bile duct: cystic diverticulum> gall bladder
5. growth of liver:
a. ventral mesentry is divided into hepatogastric ligament, hepatodudoneal ligament
c. falciform ligament (connection to abdominal walll

29
Q

falciform ligament arises from

A

arises from: ventral mesentry
due to: growth of the liver bud
def: connects liver to abdominal wall

30
Q

hepatogastric ligament arises from

8.
A
  1. elgonation: U-shaped midgut loop
  2. herniation into umbilical chord
  3. rotation (counterclockwise about SMA)- cranial limb towards right, caudal limb towards the left and develops cecal bud
  4. retraction
  5. rotation 2: 180 about SMA, cranial limb becomes located to the left, caudal limb to the right
  6. ascent of colon: decum and appendix are displaced in the lower right quadrant
  7. regression of vitelline duct
  8. retroperitoneal formation of ascending/ descending colon
33
