Peritoneal and GI Development Flashcards
What does the foregut develop into
- Oesophagus (then into respiratory diverticulum)
- Stomach
- Proximal duodenum
- Liver and biliary system
- Pancreas
- Spleen
Which axis does the stomach rotate around
- Longitudinal
- AP
What does the foregut terminate at
Oropharyngeal membrane
What does the hindgut terminate at
Cloacal membrane
Which part of the gut tube develops faster
Dorsal part
What does the rotation of the stomach mean for the vagal nerves
-Left vagus ends up on anterior surface
Where does the liver develop
- Anterior surface of duodenum
- On right side of body
What does sagittal rotation lead to
Lesser curvature of stomach faces slightly upwards
What does rotation of stomach mean for the duodenum
- Duodenum rotates as well
- Displaces the duodenum to right until it lies against the dorsal body wall and becomes partially retroperitoneal
What happens to pancreas and duodenum
- Reabsorbed by visceral peritoneum
- Secondarily retroperitoneal
Formation of liver
- Hepatic plate appears on ventral side of duodenum
- Hepatic plate grows into hepatic diverticulum
- Hepatic diverticulum grows towards and into the septum transversum
What does the hepatic diverticulum give rise to
- Hepatoblasts (which become hepatocytes and bile canaliculi)
- Septum transverses (develops into liver sinusoids)
How is the bare area of the liver formed
The ventral mesentery reflects onto the diaphragm
How does the liver rotate
Right (with stomach and duodenum)
What is the falciform ligament
- Liver’s communication with anterior wall
- From ventral mesentery
Where does the cystic diverticulum develop
- Ventral side of the duodenum
- Inferior to hepatic diverticulum
What does the cystic diverticulum form
- Gallbladder
- Cystic duct
Where does the pancreas develop
Inferior to hepatic bud
How does the pancreas develop
- 2 buds appear (1 anterior and 1 posterior to duodenum), the ventral and dorsal buds
- The ventral bud gives rise to the uncinate process
- Rotation of the duodenum causes the ventral bud to migrate around to lie behind and fuse with the dorsal bud
Describe the development of the pancreatic ducts
- When the ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds fuse, their ductal systems become interconnected
- Proximal portion of duct of dorsal pancreas degenerates
- The ducts of dorsal and ventral buds unite to form the main pancreatic duct
What is the accessory duct
A remnant of the proximal part of the duct of dorsal pancreas
What does the spleen develop from
Dorsal mesenchyme (in dorsal mesentery- not product of gut tube endoderm)
