GI Flashcards
rostral fold closure defect
sternal defect (ectopic cordis)
gastroschisis
abdominal contents through folds, not covered by anything
omphalocele
protrusion of abdominal contents, covered by peritoneum
jejunal and ileal atresia
from disruption of mesenteric vessels - ischemic necrosis - segmental resorption
exposure risk in hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
macrolides
ventral pancreatic buds form
uncinate process and main pancreatic duct
dorsal pancreatic bud forms…
body, tail, isthmus, and accessory duct
spleen embryonic origin…
mesentery of stomach, has foregut supply
retroperitoneal structures
Suprarenal glands Aorta Duodenum Pancreas Ureters Colon (descending/ascending) Kidneys Esophagus Rectum
falciform ligament
connects liver to anterior abdominal wall
- contains ligamentum teres hepatis (remnants of umbilical vein)
hepatoduodenal ligament
connects liver to duodenum
- contains portal triad
gastrohepatic ligament
connects liver to lesser curvature of stomach
- contains gastric arteries
layers of gut wall
mucosa - epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa
submucosa - contains Meissner
muscularis externa - myenteric (Auerbach plexus)
serosa or adventitia
erosions
mucosa only
brunner glands
secrete bicarb in duodenum
paneth cells
in duodenum, secrete defensins and lysozymes and TNF
plicae circulares
mostly in jejunum
histology of colon
abundant goblet cells
what causes SMA syndrome
decrease in mesenteric fat (low body weight and poor nutrition) - blockage of third part of duodenum
parasympathetic innervation of gut
first 2/3 = vagus
last 1/3 = pelvic
