55
Q

The dorsal and ventral mesentery of the foregut divide the cavity into what?

A

A left and right sac.

56
Q

Which adult structure do the left and right sac contribute to?

A

The left sac contributes to the greater sac and the right sac becomes the lesser sac (comes to lie behind the stomach).

57
Q

Caudal to the foregut how many sacs are there?

A

One - the cavity is not divided into two like in the foregut as it does not have ventral mesentery.

58
Q

What are omenta?

A

Specialised regions of peritoneum/ specialised mesentery. A fold of peritoneum that connect the stomach to other abdominal organs.

59
Q

What is the greater omentum formed from?

A

Dorsal mesentery.

60
Q

What does the greater omentum look like?

A

A fatty apron. It is the first structure seen when the abdominal cavity is opened anteriorly.

61
Q

What is the lesser omentum formed from?

A

The ventral mesentery.

62
Q

What does the free edge of the lesser omentum conduct?

A

Portal triad: branches of the biliary ducts, hepatic artery and portal vein (plus Lymphatics and nerves).

63
Q

Which two directions does the stomach rotate during development?

A

90 degrees around the longitudinal axis.

Around the anteroposterior axis.

64
Q

What is the result of rotation of the primitve stomach around the longitudinal axis?

A

The greater and lesser curvature come to lie first on the right and left side (originally the lesser curvature is ventral and the greater curvature dorsal).

65
Q

What is the result of rotation of the primitive stomach around the anteroposterior axis?

A

The cardia and pylorus move horizontally, pushing the greater curvature inferiorly (originally the stomach lies in an upright position with the cardia directly superior to the body and pylorus).

66
Q

Where is the greater omentum suspended from?

A

It extends from the greater curvature of the stomach, passing anteriorly to the small intestines and reflects on itself to ascend to the transverse colon before reaching the posterior abdominal wall.

67
Q

Where is the lesser omentum suspended from?

A

It extends from the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach (this is called the hepatogastric ligament) and the first part of the duodenum (hepatoduodenal ligament).

68
Q

Where does the liver develop?

A

The liver develops from a hepatic bud inside the ventral mesentery.

69
Q

Where does the stomach develop?

A

The dorsal mesentery.

70
Q

Which side of the intraembryonic coelom does the liver grow rapidly into?

A

The right-hand side.

71
Q

What affects does the rotation of the stomach have?

A
  1. Puts the vagus nerves anterior and posterior to the stomach instead of left and right.
  2. Shifts cardia and pylorus from midline (stomach lies obliquely)
  3. Contributes to moving the lesser sac behind the stomach.
  4. Creates the greater omentum.
72
Q

What is a peritoneal reflection?

A

A change in direction from:

  1. Parietal peritoneum to mesentery
  2. Mesentery to visceral peritoneum
  3. Visceral peritoneum to mesentery
  4. Mesentery to parietal peritonuem
73
Q

Where is the peritoneum two cell layers thick?

A

At the mesentery, the rest of the peritoneum is a single membrane (one cell thick).

74
Q

What is meant by retroperitoneal structures?

A

Structures that are not suspended within the abdominal cavity. They were never in the peritoneal cavity and never had a mesentery.

75
Q

Give two retroperitoneal structures?

A

Kidneys and abdominal aorta.

76
Q

What is meant by secondarily retroperitoneal?

A

Structures that began development invested by peritoneum, had a mesentery, but with successive growth and development the mesentery is lost through fusion at the posterior abdominal wall.

77
Q

What is the difference between structure suspended in the peritoneal cavity and those that are retroperitoneal?

A

Retroperitoneal are not able to be mobilised.

78
Q

What is another name for the lesser sac?

A

Omental bursa

79
Q

What affect does rotation of the stomach hav on the left and right vagus nerves?

A

Rotation around the longitudinal axis puts the:
Left vagus nerve -> anterior (now anterior vagal trunk)
Right vagus nerve -> posterior (now posterior vagal trunk).

80

82
Q

What is the name of the fold of peritoneum which attaches the anterior abdominal wall and liver?

83
Q

What is the name of the double fold of peritoneum which attaches the small bowel to the posterior abdominal wall?

A

Mesentery of small intestines

Sigmoid mesentery (normally called sigmoid mesocolon)

85
Q

What is meant by mesocolon?

A

The fold of peritoneum attaching the colon to the posterior abdominal wall: ascending mesocolon, transverse mesocolon, descending mesocolon and sigmoid mesocolon

86
Q

The parietal peritoneum is in direct contact with which structure/s?
