Q

What is Neurulation

A

Notochord sends out a signal which acts on ectoderm and induces cells to form neural tube. neural plate sinks down and edges come together to form a tube once it loses contact with ectoderm

Q

Describe the development the stomach undergoes

A

undergoes 90 degree rotation around town longitudinal axis. Ventral border now left side (LC), dorsal border right side (GC)

32
Q

The stomach undergoes an ____ to create final adult position

A

anterior-posterior

33
Q

What is the Mesogastrium

A

It is where the stomach is attached to both the dorsal and ventral wall by a mesentery called this

34
Q

What creates the mental bursa

A

Rotation along the longitudinal axis pulls the dorsal mesentery to the left created the lesser sac and the ventral mesogastrium is pulled to the right

35
Q

How many layers does the greater sac have

A

4 layers which become 2 layers of peritoneum and forms the transverse mesocolon

36
Q

What is the duodenum formed from

A

The caudal part of the foregut and the cranial part of the midgut

37
Q

What is the blood supply of the duodenum

A

Coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery

38
Q

What part of the duodenum retains its dorsal mesentery

A

Dorsal cap

39
Q

When do the liver buds appear and what are they

A

middle of 3rd week

Outgrowths of endoderm (epithelia) in the distal end of the foregut

40
Q

The connection between the liver bud and foregut narrowing forms

A

The bile duct

41
Q

Ventral outgrowth from the bile duct forms

A

Gallbladder and cystic duct

42
Q

Where is the hepatic vein located

A

In the falciform ligament

43
Q

At the end f the 4th week the mesenchymal condensation develops in where

A

Dorsal mesogastrium

44
Q

What week does the mesenchyme differentiate into the spleen

A

5th

45
Q

What organ is a mesoderm derivative

A

Spleen

46
Q

Up to what week does the spleen act as a haematopoietic organ

A

14 week

47
Q

What happens to the spleen in week 15-17

A

Colonised by t-lymphocytes

48
Q

What happens to the spleen in week 23

A

the B cell precursors arrive and the spleen can start its lymphoid function

49
Q

How does the pancreas form

A

From 2 buds which grow from the endodermal lining in week 5. As the duodenum rotates ventral bud moves to lie closer to dorsal bud and in week 6 they fuse

50
Q

Name an development anomaly of the foregut

A

oesophageal atresia (no connection) and tracheo-oesophageal fistula (abnormal connection)

51
Q

What is the cause of anomalies in the foregut

A

if the tracheo-oesophageal septs deviates incorrectly then there is an incomplete separation of the lung bud (laryngo-tracheal tube) oesophagus and trachea

52
Q

What is the most common foregut anomaly

A

Tracheo-oesophageal fistula (90%)

53
Q

What causes annular pancreas and what are the consequences

A

Failure of ventral bud to migrate around duodenum to dorsal bud and may cause duodenal stenosis and pancreatic tissue may develop in other ares of the foregut (accessory pancreatic tissue)

54
Q

What is the midgut

A

Distal part of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum, appends, ascending colon, primal 2/3rds of transverse colon

55
Q

Describe the early development of the midgut

A

Rapid elongation of the gut tube and its associated mesentery described as the primary intestinal loop.

56
Q

What does the caudal part of the primary intestinal loop become

A

Distal ileum, caecum, appendix, ascending colon and proximal 2/3 of transverse colon

57
Q

What does the cephalic part of the primary intestinal loop become

A

Distal duodenum, jejunum and proximal ileum

59
Q

When does rotation of the primary intestinal loop occur

A

62
Q

Describe physiological herniation

A

Gut tube herniated into the extra embryonic cavity in the umbilical cord

63
Q

What is the purpose of herniation
