9
Q

19
Q

How does the pancreas develop

A
  • 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

Q

Describe the development of the pancreatic ducts

A
  • 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

23
Q

Where does the spleen end up after rotation

A

Displaced to the left

24
Q

What is the portion of dorsal mesentery between spleen and stomach called

A

Gastrosplenic ligament

25
Q

What does the midgut form

A
  • Distal duodenum
  • Jejunum
  • Ileum
  • Caecum
  • Ascending colon
  • Proximal 2/3 of transverse colon
26
Q

Give an example of a physiological herniation

A

Presumptive ileum grows faster than other parts of midgut, so grows into umbilical cord (forming the primary intestinal loop)

27
Q

Which artery grows with the primary intestinal loop

A

Superior mesenteric

28
Q

Total degrees of rotation of the midgut

A

270

29
Q

Which direction does the primary intestinal loop rotate

A

Counter-clockwise (as viewed from ventral side)

30
Q

Where does the ileum and large intestine end up after intestinal rotation

A
  • Ileum= right abdomen

- Large intestine= left abdomen

31
Q

What closes the hindgut

A

Cloacal membrane

32
Q

What is the cloaca

A
  • Dilated space around cloacal membrane

- Has a diverticulum called Allantois

33
Q

Function of Allantois

A

Connects the gut tube to yolk sac by entering umbilical cord

34
Q

What does the hindgut form

A
  • Distal 1/3 of transverse colon
  • Descending and sigmoid colon
  • Upper 2/3 of anorectal canal
35
Q

What divides the cloaca

A

Coronal urorectal septum

36
Q

What does the urorectal septum divide the cloaca into

A
  • Anteriorly= urogenital sinus

- Posteriorly= anorectal canal

37
Q

What does the urogenital sinus develop into

A

Urogenital structures

38
Q

What does the anorectal canal develop into

A

Proximal 2/3 of anal canal

39
Q

How does the cloacal membrane rupture

A

As the tip of the urorectal septum approaches the cloacal membrane, the anal part of the membrane sinks into the anal pit and the membrane ruptures

40
Q

What does the urorectal septum do

A

Joins outside ectoderm and becomes the perineal body

41
Q

What marks the boundary between hindgut endoderm and ectoderm

A

Pectinate line

42
Q

What does the free caudal margin of the falciform ligament carry

A

Umbilical vein from body wall to liver

43
Q

How is the lesser omentum formed

A

By the ventral mesentery between liver and lesser curvature

44
Q

What does a patent vitelline duct cause

A

-Faecal discharge at umbilicus

45
Q

Describe anular pancreas

A
  • If there is a bi-lobed ventral pancreas, can migrate in opposite directions around duodenum
  • Can strangulate duodenum
46
Q

What is Hirschsprung disease

A
  • Lack of normal development of colonic innervation
  • Leads to a constricted aganglionic segment of bowel, with a distended segment proximally (the innervation of which is normal)
47
Q

What is a urorectal/rectovaginal fistula

A

Where the hindgut does not travel down into skin and opens into urethra/vagina instead

48
Q

What is a rectoperineal fistula

A

A narrowing of rectum

49
Q

What is an imperforated anus

A

Anal membrane doesn’t rupture and remains closed

50
Q

What is gastroschisis

A

Herniation of the small intestine through a defect on either side of the umbilicus

51
Q

What is exomphalos

A

Defect on abdominal wall, through which anything can herniate

52
Q

What is an umbilical hernia

A

Where the umbilicus cannot close

53
Q

How to treat an umbilical hernia

A

Cover with a bandage, usually closes by itself

54
