What leads to the formation of the gastrosplenic and splenorenal ligaments?
rotation of the stomach brings the spleen to the left and forms the ligaments
36
Describe the fxn of the spleen.
1. hematopoietic cell development during fetal life | 2. Can revert to hematopoiesis in the adult (extramedullary myelopoiesis)
37
What causes pyloric stenosis?
hypertrophy of hte circular layer of stomach smooth muscle at the pyloric outlet--> narrowing of the pyloric canal
38
A male infant has a distended stomach and is projectile vomitting.
Pyloric stenosis
39
What causes intestinal atresia and stenosis?
1. failure of recanalization of the intestine (usually duodenum) 2. lumen occluded by INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELLS
40
A pt w/ intestinal atresia and stenosis usually has...
vomit containing bile
41
What occupies a large portion of the ventral mesentery?
The liver derived from ENDODERM of the foregut grows into the ventral mesentery and teh mesenchyme of hte transverse septum
42
What gives rise to the hepatic cells and bile ducts draining hte liver?
hepatic diverticulum
43
What gives rise to the fibrous capsule and connective tissue of the liver?
transverse septum
44
What develops from the endodermal hepatic diverticulum?
gallbladder w/ the cystic duct and ventral pancreas
45
What is a site for hematopoietic tissue during fetal development prior to splenic hemopoiesis?
liver
46
What is extrahepatic biliary atresia?
Rare can occur when the bile duct fails to canalize--> infant becomes JAUNDICED
47
What does the pancreas develop from?
ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds that grow out from the dorsal and ventral walls and into the dorsal and ventral mesenteries
48
The ventral pancreatic bud is derived from...
hepatic diverticulum
49
Because the stomach and duodenum rotate to the right what happens to the pancreas?
ventral pancreas and common bile duct end up BEHIND where they fuse w/ the DORSAL PANCREAS in the dorsal mesentery
50
The duct of the dorsal pancreas fuses with the...
duct of the ventral pancreas
51
What becomes the definitive pancreatic duct?
Duct of the ventral pancreas (dorsal degenerates)
52
What are acini in the pancreas?
exocrine pancreas (develop from terminal ends of the duct system)
53
What gives rise to the endocrine pancreas?
budding of cells from the ducts
54
You see a pt with pancreatic tissue in the wall of the stomach, duodneum and ileal diverticulum. What causes this?
Accessory pancreatic tissue occurs b/c the pancreatic tissue develops from ENDODERMAL EPITHELIUM of the developing GI tract
55
What is attached at the apex of the midgut loop, bewteen the cephalic and caudal limbs of the loop?
omphaloenteric duct (yolk stalk)
56
What happens to the omphaloenteric duct in an adult?
if present, it's located 2 ft cranial to the ileocecal jxn and may form an ileal diverticulum
57
When does herniation of the developing intestine into the umbilical stalk occur?
6th or 7th week b/c of rapid intestinal growth and limited space in the abdominal cavity d/t large size of the liver and kidneys
58
When does the intestine return to the abdominal cavity?
10-11 weeks Cephalic limb of midgut loop grows rapidly and forms the small intestine, while caudal limb undergoes little change. Rotation of the midgut loop with the small intestine returning first forces the distal colon to the left.
59
What supplies the midgut and serves as a pivot point for a counter clockwise rotation (270 degrees) of the caudal midgut limb around the cephalic midgut limb to bring the colon across the small intestine?
superior mesenteric artery
60
What happens to the cecum when the colon return to the abdominal cavity?
it goes to the lower right quadrant
61
When does heterotopic gastric mucosa and pancreatic tissue occur?
when cells lining the stomach or pancreatic tissue develop at sites OTHER than the stomach
62
What is an ileal diverticulum? Greater prevalence in M or F?
present in 2 to 4 per cent of people and is 3 to 5 times more common in MALES than females. A Meckel diverticulum is a persistence of the proximal part of the YOLK STALK (duct) (omphaloenteric duct). The diverticulum can become inflamed. May end as a blind pouch, be attached to the umbilicus by a fibrous cord or a fistula (omphaloenteric fistula), or result in a condition known as volvulus (twist around) that can lead to ischemia or strangulation of the bowel. May be sight for ectopic stomach tissue and pancreatic tissue
63
What causes a congenital omphalocele?
failure of the intestinal loops to return from the umbilical cord to the abdominal cavity during the 10th week and the ventral abdominal wall to close. Herniated loop covered by amnion (epithelium of the umbilical cord).
64
What causes a congenital umbilical hernia?
the ventral abdominal musculature fails to close the umbilical ring. Protruding mass is covered by subcutaneous tissue and skin
65
What causes gastroschisis?
a defect near the median plane of the right ventral abdominal wall. The cause of gastroschisis is uncertain, but may be due to ischemic injury to the anterior abdominal wall
66
What causes non-rotation of the midgut?
the caudal limb returns to the abdomen first, and the small intestine lies on the right side of the abdomen and the large intestine on the left.
67
What forms the mesentery and attaches all of the intestine to the posterior abdominal wall?
dorsal mesentery
68
The greater omentum, transverse mesocolon and sigmoid mesocolon are all derivatives of..
dorsal mesentery
69
What causes the duodenum and ascending/descending colons to be retroperitoneal?
dorsal mesentery fusing w/ the peritoneal lining of the dorsal body wall
70
What serves as the caudal end of the hindgut and the base of the urogenital sinus?
cloaca
71
What separates the cloaca from the proctodeum?
cloacal membrane
72
What divides the cloaca into a urogenital sinus and rectum/anal canal?
uroretal spetum
73
What divides the cloacal membrane into a urogenital area and an anal area?
cloacal membrane
74
What forms in the area where the urorectal septum approaches the cloacal membrane that is in the process of undergoing apoptosis?
perineal body
75
What is derived from the upper 2/3s and lower 1/3 of the hindgut?
upper 2/3- anal canal lower 1/2- proctodeum
76
What is the site of the ANAL MEMBRANE and is where the endoderm of the hindgut becomes continuous w/ the ectoderm of hte proctodeum?
pectinate or anorectal line
77
How do the arterial/venous systems differ for the hindgut and proctodeum?
hindgut- inferior mesenteric proctodeum- inferior rectal branch of the internal pudendal
78
lymphatics from the hindgut drain to...
inferior mesenteric nodes
79
lymphacts from the proctodum drain to...
superficial inguinal nodes
80
What is an anocutaneous line?
where the anal epithelium changes from simple columnar to stratified squamous
81
What is a congenital megacolon (hirschsprung's disease)?
absence of parasympathetic ganglia in the wall of the colon d/t failure of NCC to migrate into the splanchnic mesoderm
82
What causes an imperforate anus?
persistence of the cloacal (anal) membrane to atresia (anal atresia) of the anal canal/rectum.
83
What are hindgut fistulas?
Connect the hindgut with the vagina (rectovaginal fistula), urethra (rectourethral fistula), or the bladder (rectovesical fistula).
84
What causes a hindgut fistula?
Occur because of incomplete division of the cloaca by the urorectal septum into the rectum/anal canal and urogenital sinus.
