Peds- abdomen embryology Flashcards
what 5 things are included in embryology?
- fertilization
- zygote
- blastula
- gastrula
- organogenesis
what is organogenesis?
cephalocaudal and lateral foldings lead to formation of primitive/primordial gut from endoderm
what are the 3 primary germ layers?
- endoderm (inner layer)
- mesoderm (middle layer)
- ectoderm (external layer)
3 primordial gut parts?
- foregut
- midgut
- hindgut
What forms the foregut? (9)
- pharynx
- oral cavity
- upper/lower respiratory system
- esophagus
- stomach
- duodenum
- liver
- bile ducts
- pancreas
during duodenal development what occurs?
- during duodenal development, the lumen becomes obliterated and recanalizes
- if this fails, duodenal atresia or stenosis occurs
- infants present with bile-stained vomiting
what does the midgut form?
- part of duodenum
- jejunum
- ileum
- cecum
- appendix
- part of transverse colon
when does physiological herniation occur?
9-11 weeks
what is physiological herniation?
- when does midgut return into abdomen?
- what are the last structures to return?
- what becomes fixed to posterior of andominal cavity?
- rapidly enlarging liver and kidneys cause a shortage of room
- midgut forms a loop and elongates into the umbilicus (week 9)
- midgut returns to abdo. by the 12th week (anticlockwise rotation)
- cecum and appendix are the last structures to return
- large bowel becomes fixed to the posterior of abdo. cavity
what does the hidgut form?
- left 3rd of transverse colon
- descending colon
- sigmoid
- rectum
- upper part of anal canal
What is the rectum separated from the urogenital organs by?
a septum
if there is abnomral seperation from rectum and urogenital organs what occurs?
- fistulas to the urethra, bladder, and vagina occur
When does the liver, GB, and bild duct system form?
4-6th week of fetal development
endodermal outgroth or hepatic diverticulum forms at what week?
4-6th week of fetal development
How does the endodermal outgrowth or hepatic dicerticulum form?
- caudal portion?
- cephalic portion?
- caudal portion differentiates into cystic duct and bile duct
- cephalic portion 2 buds begin forming the right and left hepatic lobes
cephalic portion of liver formation?
- The buds grow into columns that branch and form networks
- These eventually become the liver sinusoids.
- The columns of endodermal cells and the liver parenchyma grow into the surrounding mesoderm
- The mesoderm provides tissue for the portal tracts and the Glisson capsule
When do the liver lobes become different sizes?
- In the beginning both lobes are equal in size
- The liver begins developing blood cells
- By end of 6th wk right lobe becomes larger, left lobe undergoes some degeneration
- Liver fills most of the abdominal cavity
