Q

Where would you find the gastrocolic ligament?

A

Extending between the greater curvature of stomach and transverse colon (contains gastroepiploic vessels)

28
Q

The greater omentum is formed by what?

A

the dorsal mesentary

29
Q

What serve as a site of hematopoietic cell development during fetal life?

A

The spleen and liver!

30
Q

What causes pyloric stenosis?

A

hypertrophy of the circular layer of stomach smooth muscle at the pyloric outlet

  • palpable olive
  • non-bilious projectile vomiting
  • 2-6 weeks old
  • Common in first born males
31
Q

What causes intestinal atresia/ stenosis?

A
  • failure of recanalization of intestine
  • lumen occluded by epithelial cells
  • vomit contains BILE!
32
Q

How do you distinguish pyloric stenosis vs. intestinal stenosis?

A

Pyloric stenosis has NON BILIOUS vomit

Intestinal stenosis has BILIOUS vomit

33
Q

What makes up the lesser omentum?

What is the lesser omentum formed from?

A

Hepatogastric ligaments
Hepatoduodenal ligaments

Ventral mesentary

34
Q

Hepatic diverticulum (liver bud) grows into ventral mesentery and gives rise to what structures?

A
  • Hepatic cells and bile duct draining the liver
  • Gall bladder
  • Cystic duct
  • Ventral pancreas
35
Q

What gives rise to the interlobular connective tissue of the liver and the liver capsule?

A

Transverse septum

36
Q

Is pancreas derived from foregut, midgut, or hindgut?

A

Foregut

37
Q

The ventral pancreatic bud contributes to what parts of the developed pancreas?

A

unicate process
main pancreatic duct
*head

38
Q

The dorsal pancreatic bud contributes to what parts of the developed pancreas?

A
Body
Tail
Isthmus
Accessory pancreatic duct
*head
39
Q

Do both the dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds contribute to the head of the pancreas?

A

yes

40
Q

What week does physiological umbilical herniation occur?

A

6th week

41
Q

When does the physiological umbilical herniation reduce?

A

10 weeks

the intestine returning to the body cavity forces the distal colon to the left

42
Q

Which part of the midgut grows rapidly and forms the small intestine?

A

the cephalic limb of midgut loop (more proximal part)

*caudal midgut limb doesn’t change much- becomes proximal 2/3 of colon

43
Q

What serves as the pivot point for the COUNTER clockwise rotation of the caudal midgut limb to bring the colon across the small intestine?

A

Superior mesenteric artery

44
Q

What is a meckel diverticulum?

A

Remains of the omphaloenteric duct (yolk stalk)

*attaches at the apex of the midgut loop between the cephalic and caudal limps of the loop

45
Q

What are the “rules of 2” concerning meckel diverticulum?

A
  • 2 feet from ileocecal valve
  • 2 inches long
  • 2% of population
  • First 2 years of life
  • 2 types of epithelia (gastric and pancreatic)
46
Q

What is it called the the physiological hernia fails to reduce the 10th week of life?

A

Congential omphalocele

*sealed by peritoneum!

47
Q

What is it called when there is extrusion of abdominal contents through the abdominal folds?

A

Gastroschisis

*NOT covered by peritoneum

48
Q

What causes non-rotation=Malrotation of the midgut?

A

results when the caudal limb returns to the abdomen first (normally it returns last) , and the small intestine lies on the right side of the abdomen and the large intestine on the left

49
Q

What divides the cloaca into a urogenital sinus and the anal canal?

A
