Sievert: Digestive development Flashcards
Lateral folding creates two (blank) cavities in the developing embryo
coelemic
What do the mucosa and glands of the GI tract arise from? Where does the surrounding smooth muscle and connective tissue come from?
endoderm; splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm
What area of the gut maintains a ventral mesentary?
Foregut
Below the foregut, the coelemic sac is (blank)
continuous
Is there a ventral mesentary in the midgut or hindgut?
No
What organs does the ventral mesentary support?
Liver and gallbladder
Below the foregut area, the (blank) mesentery disappears so the two separate coelomic sacs become one
ventral
Structures that never have a mesentery are (blank) and those that lose their mesentery are (blank)
primarily retroperitoneal; secondarily retroperitoneal
Why is the falciform ligament important?
The umbilical vein travels alongside it and enters the liver
What is the artery that supplies the forefut? Midgut? Hindgut?
Foregut: celiac artery
Midgut: superior mesenteric artery
Hindgut: inferior mesenteric artery
What does the midgut include?
rest of duodenum to distal third of the transverse colon
The stomach undergoes a 90 degree rotation with the anterior surface turning to the (blank). This creates the (blank) curvature.
right; lesser
When the rotation to the right occurs, the (blank) mesentary gets pushed to the right.
ventral
Which surface of the stomach rotates to the left? What does this create?
posterior surface; the greater curvature
Because the greater curvature grows more rapidly than the lesser curvature, what must grow quickly to keep up? What does this expansion create?
dorsal mesentery; the greater omentum
As the greater omentum hangs down over the stomach, how many layers of mesentary has it become?
Four layers (two are folded over one another)
What is found between the liver and the gut?
Lesser omentum
The space behind the lesser omentum (known as the lesser sac) retains a small area of continuity with the greater sac through an opening known as the (blank)
epiploic foramen
What three buds are attached to the duodenum at the same place (on the ventral side)?
The liver, gallbladder, and ventral pancreatic buds
Differential growth and rotation in the wall of the duodenum moves the opening of the (blank) around to the dorsal surface
bile duct
