29
Q

what is enlarged in overweight people

A

omentum - becomes very fatty

30
Q

congenital pyloric stenosis

A

extreme narrowing of pyloric lumen of pyloric canal- muscular valve- so food passage is obstructed

results in projectile vomiting

3/1000 births, more males than females

31
Q

derivation of duodenum

A

begins week 4; continues into 5-6

dually derived from: foregut proximal to level of bile gut & mudgut

has dual blood supply

32
Q

blood supply to duodenum

A

celiac artery

superior mesenteric artery

33
Q

duodenum rotation

A

loop projects ventral, rotates to the right

34
Q

duodenum recanalization

A

week 5-6, lumen becomes obliterated, then recanalizes

35
Q

duodenal stenosis

A

partial occlusion of duodenal lumen, due to incomplete recanalization from defection vacuolization

causes back up in stomach and so stomach contents/bile are vomited

36
Q

duodenal atresia

A

complete occulsion, very atretic, so hardly any duodenum; in segment, and no recanalization

can happen in 1 or more duodenum segments

20-30% of cases- associated with Down syndrome

37
Q

polyhydramnios

A

duodenal atresia that causes build up of excess amniotic fluid in amniotic cavity, so on U/S see dark bubble next to stomach

38
Q

hepatic (ventral) diverticulum in foregut occurs/becomes

A

week 4, becomes liver (large part) and gall bladder (small part)

39
Q

induction for hepatic diverticulum

A

fibroblast growth factors from heart that act on bipotential cells

40
Q

derivation of hepatic diverticulum

epithelium, distal end of foregut

41
Q

derivates of mesdoerm of septum transversum

A

42
Q

derivation of ventral mesentery

Q

derivation of common bile duct

Q

how pancreas forms
