GI Tract Development Flashcards
what is the lining from the oro-pharynx to the anal canal?
epithelium derived from endoderm
what is the epithelial tube surrounded by?
splanchnic mesoderm
what does splanchnic mesoderm form?
forms the muscle and connective tissue layers, blood vessels and peritoneal components (mesothelium and connective tissue)
primitive gut tube formatin
folding results in a portion of the endoderm lined yolk sac to be incorporated into the embryo as the primitive gut tube
endoderm derivatives
rise to the epithelial cells of the gut tube
-pharyngeal foregut, digestive system, and respiratory system
splanchnic mesoderm derivatives
smooth muscle, connective tissue, blood vessels, visceral epithelium
how does the midgut communicate with the yolk sac?
via the vitelline duct which becomes the core of the umbilical cord
dorsal mesentary
it is bi-layered and suspends the abdominal viscera in the body cavity (intraembryonic body cavity)
ventral mesentary
connects stomach and liver to the ventral body wall
how is the primordial gut closed?
by the ends of the oropharyngeal membrane and the cloacal membrane
artery of the foregut
celiac trunk
foregut range
pharyngeal - buccophaaryngeal membrane to respiratory diverticulum
proper- caudal to pharyngeal tube to superior duodenum and superior to ampulla of the pancreatic duct
midgut artery
superior mesenteric artery
- inferior duedenum and RIGHT 2/3 of the transverse colon
midgut range
inferior to the bile duct/pancreatic duct to the junction of the right 2/3 and left third of the transverse colon
hindgut artery
inferior mesenteric artery - left one third of the transverse colon to the rectum upper anal canal
hindgut range
left third of the transverse colon to the cloacal membrane
