Q

how does the retroperitoneal duodenum and pancreas occur

Q

what structures come off of liver bud

A

liver bud, biliary duct system, gallbladder

24
Q

what causes pancreatic buds to fuse

A

foregut rotation

25
Q

physiological herniation

A

herniation of intestines into umbilical cord

26
Q

jejunum and upper ileum formed by

A

cranial limb of midgut loop

27
Q

lower ileum through proximal 2/3 of transverse colon formed by

A

caudal limb of midgut loop

28
Q

when does physiologic herniation occur

A

6 weeks

29
Q

when does the intestine return to abdomen

A

10 weeks

30
Q

pyloric stenosis results from

A

hypertrophy of muscularis externa of pyloris

31
Q

signs of pyloric stenosis

A

projectile, nonbilious vomiting

32
Q

symptoms of pyloric stenosis begin when

A

3-5 weeks of age

33
Q

cause of pyloric stenosis

A

multifactorial (genetic and enviornmental)

34
Q

annular pancreas results from

A

the ventral pancreatic bud having two lobes that move in opposite directions during foregut rotation

35
Q

annular pancreas causes

A

an obstructive ring around the 2nd part of the duodenum at the foregut-midgut junction

36
Q

symptoms of annular pancreas present during

A

neonatal period

37
Q

symptoms of annular pancreas

A

feeding intolerance, nonbilious vomiting, abdominal distention

38
Q

omphalocele is caused by

A

midgut loop fails to return to the abdominal cavity

39
Q

what is midgut loop covered by in omphalocele

A

amnion covered parietal peritoneum

40
Q

what is gastroschisis

A

abdominal viscera herniate through body wall directly into amniotic cavity

41
Q

usual location of gastroschisis

A

to the right of the umbilicus

42
Q

cause of gastroschisis

A

defect in lateral folding of embryo that leaves a gap or weakness in anterior abdominal wall

43
Q

what is Meckel’s diverticulum

A

persistence of the proximal portion of the yolk sac

44
Q

Meckel’s diverticulum is most common in

A

men

45
Q

what can be present in Meckel’s diverticulum

A

ectopic gastric mucosa

46
Q

usual location of Meckel’s diverticulum

A

2 feet from the ileocecal junction

47
Q

if no rotation of the midgut occurs

A

small intestine ends up on the right and large intestine ends up on the left

48
Q

clockwise rotation of the midgut results in

A

large intestine is posterior to the duodenum

49
Q

what is malrotation of midgut

A

mesentery doesn’t fuse properly resulting in small intestine twisting around SMA and volvulus

50
Q

symptoms of volvulus

A

vomiting, absence of stool, abdominal distention

51
Q

duodenal atresia results from

A

failed recanalization of lumen of midgut

52
Q

symptoms of duodenal atresia

A

bilious vomiting, distended abdomen, stenosis distal to ampulla of vater

53
Q

failure of neural crest cell migration leads to

A

aganglionic megacolon

54
Q

lateral fold defects include

A

omphalocele, gastroschisis

55
Q

Meckel diverticulum aka

A

persistent vitelline duct

56
Q

in what way is the spleen unique among abdominal organs

A

it is derived from mesoderm
