25
Q

When is the duodenum’s lumen obliterated

A

5th and 6th weeks of its development, only recanalised by end of embryonic period

26
Q

Secondarily retroperitoneal structures initially had a mesentary that was lost to what

A

Fusion with the posterior abdominal wall

27
Q

What is a hernia

A

A protrusion of part of the abdominal contents beyond the normal confines of the abdominal wall

28
Q

What are the three parts of a hernia

A

Sac, contents and coverings

29
Q

What is the inguinal canal

A

Oblique passage through the lower abdominal wall, layers of anterolateral abdominal muscles

30
Q

Anterior wall of inguinal canal is mainly composed of

A

Aponeurosis of external oblique

31
Q

The floor of the inguinal canal is composed of the

A

Inguinal ligament and the lacunae ligament medially

32
Q

What is the roof of the inguinal canal made of

A

Arching fibres of internal oblique and transverse abdominus

33
Q

What is the posterior wall of the inguinal canal made of

A

Transversal is fascia and conjoint tendon medially

34
Q

What are the most common abdominal wall hernias

A

Inguinal hernias

35
Q

Inguinal hernias types

A

Indirect and direct (indirect are more common and males are more commonly affected)

36
Q

Indirect hernias exit the abdomen through the

A

Deep inguinal ring and pas into the inguinal canal to a variable distance

Some pass through to the scrotum

37
Q

Direct inguinal hernias pass directly through the

A

Abdominal wall, in an area of potential weakness called Hesselbach’s triangle

38
Q

How do anatomically direct and indirect inguinal hernias differ

A

By their relationship to the inferior epigastric vessels and whether they enter inguinal canal or not

Indirect pass laterally whereas direct pass medially

39
Q

Femoral hernias pass through the

A

Femoral ring and into the femoral canal

More common in females and are at risk of incarceration

40
Q

When does bucopharyngeal membrane ruptured

A

4th week

41
Q

When does cloacal membrane rupture

A

7th week

42
Q

What is foregut

A

Oesophageal to mid point of 2nd part of duodenum

43
Q

What is midgut

A

Duodenum to 2/3 transverse colon

44
Q

What is hindgut

A

Distal 1/3 of transverse colon to cloaca

45
Q

What is Vitelline duct

A

Connection between yolk sac and mid gut

46
Q

What should happen to Vitelline duct

A

Should completely obliterate before time of birth -

if not then

meckel’s diverticulum : out pouching of SI,

Or connection between midgut and umbilicus- faecal material comes out of umbilicus

47
Q

What occurs simultaneous to cranio caudal folding

A

Lateral folding - helps form anterior/central body wall

48
Q

What supplies foregut

A

Coeliac artery

49
Q

What supplies mid gut

A

Superior mesenteric artery

50
Q

What supplies hind gut

A

Inferior mesenteric artery

51
Q

What happens to the endoderm at 5th and 9th week

A

Proliferates then occludes lumen- then recanalised at 9th

52
Q

What develops to cleave off trachea and oesophagus

A

Tracheoesophageal septum

53
Q

Features of pain in parietal peritoneum
