19
Q

What is the cloaca separated from the outside world by?

A

Cloacal membrane

20
Q

What happens at 6 weeks to the cloaca?

A

Partioning by the urorectal septum

21
Q

What does partioning by the urorectal septum create in the cloaca?

A

Urogenital sinus

Anorectal sinus

22
Q

What are the two parts of the anal canal derived from?

A

Superior derived from hindgut

Inferior from ectoderm

23
Q

What is the line at which the two parts of the anal canal separate?

A

Pectinate line

24
Q
What is the 
Blood Supply
Innervation
Epithelia
Lymph Drainage
above the pectinate line
A

Blood Supply - IMA
Innervation - S2-S4 PS
Epithelia - Columnar
Lymph Drainage - Internal iliac nodes

25
Q
What is the 
Blood Supply
Innervation
Epithelia
Lymph Drainage
below the Pectinate line
A

Blood Supply - Pudendal A
Innervation - S2-S4 Pudendal nerve
Epithelia - Stratified squamous (non K)
Lymph Drainage - Superficial inguinal nodes

26
Q

What is the only sensation possible aboe pectinate line?

A

Stretch

27
Q

What is the sensation possible below pectinate line and why?

A

Temperature, touch and pain due to somatic innervation from pudendal nerve

28
Q

What is the white line?

A

A portion of ectodermal anal canal which separates Non-K Strat squamous from K Strat Squamous

29
Q

What is meckel’s diverticulum?

A

Ileal diverticulum. Cul-de-sack as the result of failure of closure of vitelline duct

30
Q

What is the rule of 2’s for meckel’s diverticulum? (6)

A
o	2% of the population affected
o	2 feet from the ileocecal valve
o	2 inches long
o	Usually detected in under 2’s
	Can be asymptomatic
o	2:1 Male:Female
- 2 types of tissue, gastric or pancreatic
31
Q

What is a vitelline cyst?

A

Vitelline duct frorm fibrous strands at either end

32
Q

What is a vitelline fistula?

A

Direct communication between the umbilicus and intestinal tract. This results in faecal matter coming out of the umbilicus.

33
Q

What is atresia and stenosis of intestines?

A

Complete loss or narrowing of lumen

34
Q

Give two reasons for lumen atresia

A

Unsuccesful recanalisation

Vascular accidents due to a loss of blood supply and dead gut

35
Q

Where does most atresia occur?

A

Duodenum

36
Q

Where is loss of blood supply causing atresia most common?

A

Duodenum, but not the most common cause >Jejunum = Ileum > Colon

37
Q

What is most common cause of atresia in upper duodenum?

A

Failure of recanalisation

38
Q

What is most common cause of atresia in lower duodenum?

A

Vascular accident (malrotation and volvulus)

39
Q

What is pyloric stenosis?

A

Narrowing of pyloric sphincter resulting in projecile vomiting

40
Q

Give two defects of abdominal wall

A

Gastroschisis

Omphalocoele

41
Q

What is gastrochisis?

A

Failure of closure of abdominal wall during embryo folding leaving gut tube and its derivatives outside the body
NO COVERING

42
Q

What is omphaocoele?

A

Persisence of physiological herniation
Umbilical cord covered by reflection of the amnion
COVERING PRESENT

43
Q

Give three hindgut abnormalities

A

Imperforate anus - Failure of anal membrane rupture
Anal agenesis - Failure of development
Hindgut fistula - Abnormal connection to bladder

44
Q

What five structures retain their mesentery?

A
o	Jejunum
o	Ileum
o	Appendix
o	Transverse colon
