What 2 things support intestinal development?
- Elongated dorsal mesentery
2. Cranial mesenteric artery
From what does the cecum form?
As an evagination of the caudal limb of the intestinal loop
What happens during physiological herniation of the intestine during development?
Developing intestine moves out of the embryo into the yolk sac
How many degrees does the cranial limb of the developing intestinal tract move and what does it form?
270 degrees; root of mesentery
What closes the cloaca?
cloacal membrane
What divides the cloaca?
Urorectal septum
Where does the urorectal septum form?
Junction of hindgut and allantois (urogenital sinus)
Which way does the cloaca divide?
Caudally
What does the urorectal septum divide the cloaca into?
anal membrane and urogenital membrane
What are the 3 steps to cloacal separation?
- Urorectal septum moves towards cloaca to divide it
- Septum fuses with the cloacal membrane
- Formation of anal membrane and urogenital membrane
What are the 4 malformations of the intestinal tract?
- Intestinal stenosis
- Intestinal atresia
- Atresia ani
- Urorectal fistula
What is intestinal stenosis?
Narrowing of intestines
What is intestinal atresia?
Section of intestine disappears
What is atresia ani?
Anal membrane doesn’t break down
What is a urorectal fistula?
Abnormal connection between rectum and urogenital system where the septum failed to divide.
What do the pharyngeal arches give rise to as a whole?
pharynx and part of the face
What 4 things can you find in the pharyngeal arches?
- Aortic arch
- Cartilage rod
- Nerve (cranial)
- Muscle
The 1st pharyngeal arch gives rise to CN # __?
