Q

remind me, what is the allantois and the yolk sac?

A

the allantois is a diverticulum of the gut tube near the cloaca, and becomes (mostly) the urinary bladder in the adult, the other part eventually becomes part of the umbilical cord by joining the vitilline duct (yolk sac stalk) and blood vessels but is initially on its own (partially in and out of the embryo); the allantois does nothing in humans and will degrad to wharton’s jelly in the umbilical cord with the vitilline duct; the yolk sac is thought to provide nutrients to the embro initially and is a place where gonadal stem cells reside for a while before going to their respective places

Q

how does the stomach develop and end up in it’s position with an anterior and posterior vagal trunk sandwiching it?

A

the dorsal aspect grows faster than the ventral surface, it rotates 90 deg around the vertical axis so that the rt vagus nerve becomes posterior and the left vagus nerve becomes anterior, the stomach also shifts to the left and rotates 45 deg in a coronal plane

Q

what does mesenteric liver tissue become?

A

hematopoeitic, Kupffer and connective tissue cells (does hematopoeisis from weeks 8-30)

30
Q

how does the pancreas form?

A

from two endodermal outgrowths (dorsal and ventral); the ventral swings around posteriorly and joins the dorsal bud

31

the inferior part of the head and uncinate process

32
Q

what does the dorsal bud become?

A

the superior part of the pancreatic head, the neck, body, and tail

Q

the main pancreatic ampulla/duct arises from which pancreatic buds?

A

the entire ventral and the distal part of the dorsal bud

34
Q

the accessory pancreatic duct/ampulla comes from which part of the pancreatic buds (if present)?

A

the proximal portion of the dorsal bud.

35
Q

which other duct empties into the main pancreatic duct?

A

the common bile duct from the gallbladder’s bile duct and the hepatic duct

36
Q

at about week 6, what part of the gut tube herniates through the umbilical ring?

A

the midgut, which is attached to the SMA (superior mesenteric artery)

When the midgut herniates initially, how much does it rotate?

A

90 deg around the SMA

38

A

180 deg; 270 deg total

39
Q

the jejunum enters 1st and the cecal bud enters last, but what else needs to happen to be in anatomical position?

A

the cecum needs to drop from the RUQ to the LRQ

40
Q

what is the end of the hindgut called?

what happens when the allantois remains patent?

A

you have a urachal fistula (with urine leaving the bladder) or at least a urachal cyst

59
Q

why are respiratory and esophageal problems often occur together?

A

because the lung bud is created from the same endoderm that forms the esophagus

60
Q

what happens when there is incomplete separation of the esophagus and trachea?
