Q

Q

Stomach

A
  • develops from the distal portion of the foregut
  • enlarges and lies ventrodorsally
  • dorsal border grows faster than the ventral border (U-shape)
  • Rotates 90 degrees clockwise around the longitudinal axis (Cranial left, caudal right)

Q

Cogenital pyloric stenosis

A
  • Abnormal thickening of the pyloric sphincter, restricts movement of materials from the stomach into the small intestine
  • Stomach becomes distended and projectile vomiting occurs
28
Q

Omental Bursa

A

Also known as the lesser peritoneal sac

- Cavity formed when isolated clefts developed n the mesenchyme coalesce, forming the thick dorsal mesogastrium

29
Q

Stomach enlargement

A
  • Omental bursa expands and acquires an inferior recess of the omental bursa between the layers of the elongated dorsal mesogastrium (greater omentum)
30
Q

Duodenum

A
  • Develops from caudal/distal foregut in week 4
  • Grows rapidly into a C-shaped loops that projects caudally
  • Lumen becomes smaller & is temporarily obliterated due to proliferation of epithelial cells
  • Vacuolation occurs as the epithelial cells degenerate
31
Q

Duodenal Stenosis

A
  • Due to the partial occlusion of the duodenal lumen
  • Results from incomplete recanalization of the duodenum due to defective vacuolization
  • Bile duct is connected to the duodenum, therefore the stomach’s contents, usually containing bile are vomited
32
Q

Duodenal Atresia

A
  • Complete occlusion of the duodenum

- Blockage occurs at the junction of the bile and pancreatic

33
Q

Hepatocytes

A

derived from the endoderm

34
Q

Hepatic Diverticulum

A

Liver bud, forms as an endodermal outgrowth from the foregut

- projects into splanchnic mesoderm and divides into cranial (liver) and caudal (gall bladder & cystic duct) parts

35
Q

Cells derived from mesoderm

A

Hemopoietic/ fibrous tissue, Kupffer cells

36
Q

Hemopoiesis

A

Formation of blood cells, occurs in week 6

37
Q

What induces the liver bud outgrowth

A

secreted factors from cardiac mesoderm and te septum transversum

38
Q

Site of liver bud outgrowth

A

hepatic field

39
Q

What inhibits liver growth

A

factors secreted by noncardial mesoderm, ectoderm, notochord

40
Q

What inhibits liver growth inhibitors

A

FGFs

41
Q

FGFs

A

Fibroblast growth factors, secreted by cardiac mesoderm, inhibit liver growth inhibitors and stimulate bud outgrowth

42
Q

BMPs

A

Bone morphogenic proteins, stimulate the action of FGFs

43
Q

Development of the pancreas

A

Endodermal cells form dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds at the caudal end of the foregut, as the duodenum rotates the ventral bud is carried dorsally to lay posterior to the dorsal bud

44
Q

Where is retinoic acid low

A

Pharynx

45
Q

Where is retinoic acid high

A

rectum

46
Q

Esophagus transcription factor

A

SOX1

47
Q

Duodenum transcription factor

A

PDX1

48
Q

Small intestine transcription factor

A

CDXC

49
Q

Large intestine transcription factor

A

CDXA

50
Q

Derivative of the midgut

A

Small intestine, proximal portions of the large intestine

51
Q

When does the midgut herniate

A

week 6

52
Q

Why does the midgut herniate

A

There isn’t enough room in the abdominal cavity

53
Q

What does the cranial limb give rise to

A

Loops of the small intestine

54
Q

What does the caudal limb give rise to

A

Parts of the large intestine

55
Q

Rotation of the midgut loop

A

While it’s in the umbilical cord, it rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise around the axis of the superior mesenteric artery

56
Q

When do the intestines return to the abdomen

A

Week 10

57
Q

What happens when the intestines return to the abdomen

A

Reduction of the midgut hernia

58

Midgut hernia isn’t reduces and intestines remain in proximal part of the umbilical cord
1/5000
