EX2 Embryology Flashcards
Which germ layer forms the epithelial lining and glands of the GI tract
endoderm
The endoderm that dorms the innermost lining of the gut tube is derived from where
the dorsal portion of the yolk sac
This duct connects the midgut and the yolk sac
vitelline duct
This membrane ruptures at week 4 and provides a continuity between the oral cavity and the foregut
oropharyngeal membrane; allows for swallowing of amniotic fluid
This membrane ruptures at week 7 and allow for urination and defication
cloacal membrane
Which germ layer forms the smooth muscles and the connective tissues of the GI tract
splanchnic mesoderm
This is the serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity and organs
peritoneum
This type of peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity
parietal peritoneum
This type of peritoneum lines the organs
visceral peritoneum
This is a double layer of peritoneum that suspends an organ from the body wall
mesentery
True or False
Mesentery can contain CT, blood vessels, lymphatics, and/or nerves
True
The peritoneum and mesentery are derived from what germ layer
sphanchnic mesoderm
At what level of the GI tract does the ventral mesentery exist
foregut; it is resorbed inferior to it
The ventral mesogastrium is divided into which two segments due to the outgrowth of which organ
falciform ligament
lesser omentum
liver
The lesser omentum (derived from what?) splits into what ligaments
LO is derived from ventral mesogastrium
hepatogastric ligament
hepatouodenal ligament
The dorsal mesogastrium forms what
greater omentum
The dorsal mesentery forms what four structures
dorsal mesogastrium
mesoduodenum
mesentery proper
mesocolon
The neural crest cells migrate into the walls of GI tract to form what
enteric nervous system (intrinsic nervous system)
This section of the GI tract is from the mouth to the first 1/2 of the duodenum
foregut
This section of the GI tract is from the second 1/2 of the duodenum to the first 2/3 of the transverse colon
midgut
This section of the GI tract is from the last 1/3 of the transverse colon to the anus
hindgut
The main blood supply to the GI tract is what
abdominal aorta (and its 3 branches)
The blood supply to the foregut is supplied via which artery
celiac trunk
The blood supply to the midgut is supplied via which artery
superior mesenteric artery
The blood supply to the hindgut is supplied via which artery
inferior mesenteric artery
The blood supply to the pharynx is supplied via which artery
pharyngeal arch
What six main structures are a part of the foregut
pharynx lower respiratory system esophagus stomach proximal 1/2 of duodenum associated organs (pancreas, liver, gall bladder, etc.)
The foregut/midgut divide is typical where
after the entrance of the pancreatic and bile ducts in the duodenum
The esophagus develops as the portion of the foregut immediately (cranial/caudal) to the pharynx
caudal
This appears on the ventral side of the foregut and will become the trachea, respiratory tree, and lungs, during what week
respiratory diverticulum
week 4
This appears from the lateral sides of the foregut, diving the foregut into the lower respiratory tract and esophagus
tracheoesophageal septum
