GI Flashcards
GA 3.5 wks GI embryology
foregut and hindgut present
liver bud
GA4wk GI
esophagus and stomach separate
intestines is a single tube
hepatobiliary derived from foregut
pancreas derived from midgut
GA 5-9 GI
Wk 7: mouth, esophagus and stomach in normal position
intestinal tube elongates and herniates into umbilical cord
the tube undergoes a series of rotations
villi form in jejunum (week 9)
GA10 GI
tube reenters abdominal cavity after rotated 270deg
formation of microvilli
crypts of lieberkuhn appear
GA 12 GI
parietal cells in stomach
mature taste buds
formation of islet cells and bile secretions
GA13 GI
muscularis and muscle layers of intestine appear
disaccharides present
GA16 GI
swallowing and sucking ability (not coordinated)
lipase can be detected but remains deficient
trypsin present
GA14 GI
villi present throughout intestines
meconium present
GA18
ganglion cells
GA19
crypts well developed
GA20-24 GI
mouth amylase
ciliated columnar cells
maltase
sucrase
amylase liver 22 weeks
GA28 GI
adult level disaccharidases
lactase increases
GA32
normal gastric emptying
HCl detected instomach
34-36
coordinated suck and swallow
rapid peristalsis
lactase adult level
intraepithelial lymphocytes timing and features
GA 8
immune cell - defense
intestinal absorptive epithelium timing and features
GA 9
absorption
goblet cells timing and features
GA8-10
mucin, protection
enteroendocrine cells timing and features
GA9-11
hormone producting
paneth cells timing and features
GA11-12
antimicrobial peptides
stem cells timing and features
GA?? early
give rise to epithelial cells
Microfold (M) cells timing and features
GA 17
uptake antigen for presentation
Dendritic cells timing and features
GA 19
APC
tight junctions timing and features
GA 10
barrier defences
crypt villus architection GA
12
Peyers patches timing and features
GA19
patches of lymphoid tissue for immune response
salivary and pancreatic amylase timing
present at 22 weeks
adult levels 3 months postnatal age
glucoamylase (a-dextrinase) timing and function
normal at birth
removes glucose from end of starch
intestinal disaccharidases
adult levels at 28 weeks except lactase which is adult level at 36 weeks
intestinal transporters of glucose
into enterocyte SGLT1 active
out of enterocyte into circulation GLUT1
intestinal transporters of fructose
into enterocyte GLUT5 passive
out of enterocyte into circulation GLUT2
where are chymotrypsin and trypsin
duodenal fluid
decreased in preterm and FT infants
peptidases timing
well developed early
GI pH in neonates vs adults
increased due to decreased HCl secretion compared to adults
components of fat digestion
- triglyceride hydrolysis by lipases (lingual, GI, pancreatic)
- bile acid emusification
- micelle formations
components of fat absorption
- FFA and monoglycerides transfer easily
- triglycerides reform in enterocytes
- chylomicron formation
- chylomicron enters portal blood or lymphatics
preterm infant fat malabsorption attributed to
reduced bile acid secretion
decreased pancreatic lipase (adult levels at 6 months; lingual and gastric are okay)
