Q

What happens during embryonic folding?

A

Laterally - creates ventral body wall and primitive gut tube becomes tubular.
Cradiocaudally - creates cranial and caudal pockets from yolk sac endoderm (beginning primitive gut development)

Q

What is the gut tube?

A 
Endoderm lined tube
Runs the length of the body
Blind pouches at the head and tail (no opening here)
Opening at the umbilicus
Splanchnic mesoderm covering

Q

What are the embryonic divisions of the gut?

A

Midgut - opening at first and continuous with yolk sac
Hindgut - begins as diverticula

Q

What structures have mixed blood supply?

A

Duodenum and Pancreas

This is because they develop close to the junction between the foregut and midgut.

Q

What is the intraembryonic coelom?

A

A single cavity that is later subdivided by the future diaphragm into abdominal and thoracic cavities. This is formed as the embryo folds.
There is one membrane lining the whole cavity which eventually specialises to form pericardium and pleural membrane as the cavity specialises.

Q

What are mesenteries?

A

A double layer of peritoneum suspending the gut tube from the abdominal wall.

Q

Why do we have mesenteries?

A

Allows a conduit (a channel) for blood and nerve supply

Allows mobility where needed

Q

How do mesenteries develop?

A

From condensation of the splanchnic mesoderm that surrounds the new gut.

Q

Where are the mesenteries?

A

Dorsal - whole length of the gut tube from the dorsal body wall.
Ventral - just the foregut

Q

Why do we have greater and lesser peritoneal sacs?

A

Because the dorsal and ventral mesenteries in the region of the foregut divide the cavity into left and right sacs in this region only.

Q

What is a peritoneal reflection?

A

A change in direction…

  • From parietal peritoneum to mesentery
  • From mesentery to visceral peritoneum
  • From visceral peritoneum to…

Q

What are retroperitoneal structures?

A

These are structures that were never in the peritoneal cavity and never had a mesentery

17
Q

What are secondarily retroperotoneal structures?

A

Began in peritoneum and had a mesentery BUT with successive growth and development, the mesentery is lost through fusion at posterior abdominal wall.

18
Q

What do the liver glands and billiard system develop from?

A

Ventral mesentary

19
Q

How is the shape and position of the duodenum determined?

A

-Shape determined by rotation of the stomach. This pushes the duodenum to the right then against posterior abdominal wall. This makes it secondarily retroperitoneal.

20
Q

What is fusion fascia?

A

When two layers of membrane fuse together.

21
Q

What are the secondary retroperitoneal structures of the foregut?

A

Duodenum

Pancreas

22
Q

What is derived from the hindgut?

A 
Distal 1/3 transverse colon
Descending colon
Sigmoid colon
Rectum
Upper anal canal
Internal lining of bladder and urethra
23
Q

How is blood supply to each of the structures of GI system decided?

A

Arterial supply reflects the embryonic development. Each embryonic segment (foregut, midgut, hindgut) receives blood supply from a distinct branch of the abdominal aorta.

24
Q

What forms the greater omentum?

A

Formed from the dorsal mesentery. It is the first structure seen when the abdominal cavity is opened anteriorly.

25
Q

What forms the lesser omentum?

A

Formed from the ventral mesentery.
