GI Devo Flashcards
What is the ‘challenge of the embryo’ from a GI standpoint
form a continuous mucos membrane lined musclar tube running length of the body
What are the 3 precursors of the GI system?
Endoderm
Splanchinic Mesoderm
Coelomic epithelium covering the splanchnic mesoderm
During folding of the embryo, folding the ______ plane creates the primitive gut tube
Transverse plane
Folding the in transverse plane creates the primitive gut tube from the:
Endoderm
Folding in the _______ plane creates three subdivisions of the primitive gut: foregut, midgut, hindgut
sagittal
Each subdivision of the primitive gut is associated with a :
ventral branch of the dorsal aorta
The foregut receives it’s blood supply from:
celiac trunk
The midgut recieves it’s blood supply from:
Superior mesenteric artery
The hindgut recieves it’s blood supply from:
the inferior mesenteric artery
What makes up the foregut?
Esophagus, stomach, duodenum (first and second parts)
Liver, GB, Spleen
What makes up the midgut?
duodenum (3rd and 4th parts), jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon (proximal 2/3)
What makes up the hindgut?
Transverse colon (distal 1/3), descending colon, sigmoid colon, retcum to ano-rectal line
Failure or incomplete re-canalization of the duodenum causing COMPLETE OCCLUSION
Dudoenal atresia
Failure or incomplete re-canalization of the duodenum resulting in PARTIAL OCCLUSION
Duodenal stenosis
occurs with duodenal ATRESIA bc the complete blockage prevents intestinal absorption of swallowed amniotic fluid
Polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac)
