GI Development- Severson Flashcards
What structures are derived from the foregut?
Pharynx to duodenum
What structures are derived fro the midgut?
Duodenum to proximal 2/3 or transverse colon
What structures are derived from the hindgut?
Distal 1/3 of transverse colon to anal canal (above pectinate line)
What artery and nerve supply the foregut?
Celiac Artery
Vagus Nerve
What artery and nerve supply the midgut?
Superior mesenteric Artery
Vagus Nerve
What artery and nerve supply the hindgut?
Inferior mesenteric Artery
Pelvic splanchnics
The LINING of the digestive system and its related glands are developed from?
Endoderm
What are the two structures of the GI tract that are NOT developed from endoderm? (rather ectoderm)
Stomodeum (primordial mouth)
Proctodeum (anal pit)
Skeletal muscle of the pharynx and upper esophagus are derived from?
Additionally, what branchial arch(es)?
Mesoderm
4th and 6th brachial arches
Smooth muscle and connective tissue in the GI tract is derived from?
Splanchnic mesoderm
The nervous component of the GI tract comes from what? (important)
NEURAL CREST CELLS!!!!
- Vagus innervates to the left colic flexure
- Pelvic Splanchnic innervates remaining
What is the most common Tracheoesophageal anomaly?
Esophageal atresia with distal Tracheoesophageal fistula
What occurs due to incomplete recanalization of the esophagus during development (epithelial cells are persistent)?
Esophageal stenosis (narrowing of the esophagus)
What occurs due to a defective tracheoesophageal septum?
Esophageal atresia (failure to develop) and/or tracheoesophageal fistula
Both esophageal stenosis and atresia can lead to accumulation of what?
amniotic fluid!!!
= POLYHYDRAMNIOS
Drooling, choking and vomiting with FIRST feeding, and failure to pass NG tube into stomach would indicate….
Tracheoesophgeal anomaly
A congenital (sliding) hiatal hernia is a result of what?
Failure of the esophagus to length, results in the stomach being drawn up into the thorax
Ventral mesentery is derived from?
Transverse Septum
What encloses the liver and forms its visceral peritoneum?
Ventral mesentery
The falciform ligament is formed by what?
Ventral mesentery between the liver and the ventral body wall
What structure passes in the free border of the falciform ligament
Umbilical vein!
NOTE* umbilical vein becomes the ligamentum teres in the adult
The stomach undergoes what kind of rotation during development?
90 degree clockwise rotation
This brings the greater curvature to the left and the lesser curvature to the right
The left vagus nerve supplies what surface of the stomach?
ventral surface
The right vagus nerve supplies what surface of the stomach?
dorsal surface
What two ligaments are formed in the ventral mesentery connecting the stomach and the first part of the duodenum with the liver?
Hepatogastric ligament
Hepatoduodenal ligament
What is contained with in the hepatoduodenal ligamnet?
Portal triad!!!
Hepatic artery
Portal Vein
Common bile duct
