Lecture 10: Development of the GI system Flashcards
Describe the development of the primitive gut (include days)
- Yolk sac and endodermal sheet precursor (day 20)
- Branches forming Foregut, midgut and hindgut forms from the sheet (day 24)
- branch to yolk sac also narrows and forms the vitelline duct (day 26)
What arteries are associated with the primitive gut?
Foregut - celiac trunk
midgut - SMA
hindgut - IMA
What organs come from the foregut?
Esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, upper duodenum (upper organs)
What organs come from the midgut?
most of the small intestines, ascending colon and proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon
What organs come from the hindgut?
distal 1/3 of transverse colon to anal canal
What parts of the GI tract/tube come from the endoderm?
mucosal epithelium and GI glands (except for lower 1/3 of anus)
What parts of the GI tract/tube comes from the splanchnic mesoderm?
Muscles, vessels and Ct
What parts of the GI tract/tube comes from the ectoderm?
ENS ganglia and nerves (NCC derived)
Epithelium of lower 1/3 of anus
When do the dorsal and ventral mesenteries develop?
Wk 4
What structures come from the dorsal mesentery (posterior wall connector)?
greater orementum (gastrosplenic, gastrocolic and splenorenal ligaments) small intestine mesentery Mesoappendix transverse mesocolon sigmoid mesocolon
What structures come from the ventral mesentery (anterior wall connector)?
lesser omentum -hepatoduodenal and hepatogastric ligaments, basically all the liver ligaments
What does intraperitoneal mean?
What does retroperitoneal mean?
What does secondary retroperitoneal mean?
- suspended by mesentery
- fused with the abdominal wall
- organs initially suspended by mesentery but has since fused with body wall
Describe the process of stomach rotation
Vagus innervation?
-Starts as a tube facing anteriorly, then rotates 90 to the left as dorsal mesogastrum enlarges leftward to form the greater omentum
-Ventral stomach on the left side (L. vagus n.)
Dorsal stomach on the right side (R. vagus n.)
Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis
Cause
Clinical
- NCC did not properly migrate so ENS not fully populated > missing ENS control of the sphincter so it cannot relax
- pyloric lumen narrowing causing obstruction of food passage, projectile vomiting, few BM, cannot gain weight
Describe how the liver develops and when does this happen?
Primitive gut endoderm develops the hepatic diverticulum > differentiation into hepatocytes/bile ducts and hepatic ducts (main liver) + gallbladder
