Q

What is the significant function of one mesentery in embryo longer than the other mesentery?

A

Since the ventral mesentery of the embryo is shorter than the dorsal one, and that there is a gap under this ventral mesentery which allows communication between two halves of the peritoneum cavity

Q

What is retro peritoneal organs?

A

As the alimentary tract enlarges and twist and turns, some of the mesentery blends to the posterior abdominal wall, and therefore those mesenteries are lost. Organs which loose their mesentery are said to be retro peritoneal organs

25
What is secondarily retro peritoneal organ?
Organs which develop in a mesentery but subsequently reabsorbed to the posterior abdominal wall
26
Examples of secondarily retro peritoneal organs...
Adrenal glands Pancreas Parts two to four of the duodenum Ascending and descending colon
27
What are intra peritoneal organs?
Organs with a mesentery are call intra peritoneal organs
28
Why does the entire midgut during development herniates into the umbilical cord?
Because of the obliteration of the abdominal cavity by rapid growth of the liver, midgut herniates into the extra-embryonic coelomic space in the umbilical cord
29
What is vitelline duct?
It is a duct which is used to communicate between the midgut and the yolk sac.
30
True/False: caecal bud exist inferiorly in the midgut loop
True
31
What is the first rotation of the midgut and what is the axis of rotation?
90 degree anticlockwise around the axis of superior mesenteric artery
32
What is the position of caecal bud after the first initial rotation: right or left?
Left
33
At what time during development retraction of midgut occurs and also disconnection with yolk stalk?
At about 12 weeks
34
Name some of the abnormalities that could occur in disconnection of vetelline duct to yolk stalk.
Persistent vitelline ligament Vitelline cyst Meckel's diverticulum
35
At around 8 weeks period, what happens to one of the limb of the midgut loop?
Coils and loops within umbilical cord which will eventually become small bowel
36
What is the name of the condition where gut fails to return to the abdominal cavity and what other disease this condition might mimic?
Omphalocoele | Umbilical hernia
37
Which part of the midgut loops in umbilical cord return to abdominal cavity first?
The small intestine
38
During development what happens to the gastro splenic ligament?
It expands
39
How does omental bursa created during development of the midgut?
The rotation and uneven growth of the stomach pull the dorsal mesogastrium to the left, creating a subdivision of the peritoneal cavity, the omental bursa, posterior to the stomach and between the stomach and posterior body wall
40
What is the fate of ventral mesogastrium during midgut development?
The ventral mesogastrium is separated into parts by the formation of live during midgut development. The portion which attaches to the lesser curvature of the stomach and to the liver is the lesser Omentum. The part which attaches the liver to the anterior body wall is the Faliform ligament.
41
True/False: the lesser sac is located in front of the stomach
False, the lesser sac is located behind the stomach
42
What is greater Omentum?
It is a fluid filled space sandwiched between two membranes. In adults, the greater is a fat filled apron, suspended from the greater curvature of the stomach.
43
What is the function of greater Omentum in terms of infection?
It localise infections by sticking to any infected region. It traps the infection, and prevents it from spreading through the abdominal cavity
44
What ligaments is greater Omentum made of and which one of them is the major one?
Gastro colic ligament (major) Gastro splenic ligament Gastro sphrenic ligament
45
What ligaments is lesser Omentum made of?
Hepatogastric, hepatooesophageal and hepatoduodenal ligament
46
The opening between lesser sac and greater sac is called...
Epiploic foramen
47
True/False: Ligaments allow arteries and lymphatic drainage of organs
False, ligament allow arterial, venous, lymphatic drainage and supply nerves.
48
What is the name of the mesentery of jejunum and ileum?
THE mesentery
49
The name of the mesentery of sigmoid colon
Sigmoid mesocolon
50
Supra and infra-colic compartments
These are peritoneal spaces created by division of greater sac by transverse mesocolon
51
Linkage of supra colic compartment to other compartments
Right and left paracolic gutters link supra colic compartment to pelvic cavity
52
Linkage of infra colic compartment to other compartments
Infra colic compartment is continuous inferiorly with the pelvic cavity but direction of flow of fluid is dependent on posture and source of fluid. Right and left para colic gutters link infra colic compartment with the subphrenic spaces. Infra colic compartment is partitioned by the mesentery of the small intestine.
53
Name of a pouch which exist between liver and kidney
Hepato-renal pouch
54
List sources of fluid which can potentially accumulate in hepato-renal pouch?
Gall bladder Proximal duodenum Righ paracolic gutters
55
True/False: fluid from perforated duodenum can enter either infra or supra colic compartments.
True, depending on the site of perforation
56
Which component of abdominal cavity can be affected by perforated duodenum?
Right kidney (pelvis and ureter) The head of the pancreas The hepato duodenu pancreatic blood supply The right posts muscle (giving rise to the symptoms of movement of right leg)
57
What is the result of fluid accumulation in hepato renal pouch?
Accumulated fluid reach righ subphrenic space, from where pain can refer to the right shoulder
58
True/False bladder is located in front of the pelvis
True
59
Retrovesical pouch
Found in males only. It is the fold of peritoneum between rectum and the bladder.
60
Rectouterine and vesicouterine pouch
In females, the rectovesical pouch (of male) is divided into two pouch by the protrusion of uterus. The front pouch between the bladder and the uterine is called vesicouterine pouch and the back pouch between uterus and the rectum is called Rectouterine pouch (Douglas pouch)
