Session 2: Embryology Flashcards
What is formed as the embryo folds?
Intrembryonic coelom
What is the intramembryonic coelom divided into?
Abdominal and thoracic cavities from one large cavity
What is special about the lining of the intrambryonic coelom?
It is lined by one membrane which specialise as the cavities specialises
- Pericardium
- Pleural membrane
What surround the new primitive gut?
Splanchnic Mesoderm
What is mesentary formed from?
Condensation of splanchnic mesoderm
What suspends the entire gut tube from the dorsal body wall?
Dorsal Mesentary
What is the only region covered by the ventral mesentary?
Foregut
What do the dorsal and central mesentaries divide into in the region of the foregut?
Left and right sacs
What does the left sac contribute into?
Greater sac
What does the right sac becomes?
Lesser sac
What is greater omentum formed from?
Dorsal mesentary
What is the lesser omentum formed from?
Ventral mesentary
What is peritoneal reflection?
Change of direction
- from parietal peritoneum to mesentery.
- From mesentery to visceral peritoneum
What structures that are not suspended within the abdominal cavity called?
Retroperiotneal
-They were never in the peritoneal cavity and never had a mesentary
What is described as secondarily retroperitoneal?
- Began development investe by the peritoneum
- Had mesentery but with successive growth and development of the GI tract, the mesentary is lost through fusion at posterior abdominal wall. (fusion fascia)
