Sievert GI Embryology Flashcards
Lateral and rostal caudal folding incorporates both the (blank) and (blank) into the embryo.
gut tube and coelom
(blank) are incorporated into the body cavity during folding.
2 coelomic cavities
The (Blank) is supported between the lining of the two coelomic sacs.
gut tube
What is the lining of the coelomic sacs called?
mesentary
Initially there is what kind of mesentary? What happens to it?
there is a dorsal and ventral mesentary the entire length of the gut tube.
The ventral later deteriorates through most of the tube
As folding progresses the yolk sac gets pinched down to form a (blank).
gut tube
As folding progresses the yolk sac gets pinched down to form a gut tube with a (blank) connecting to the remaining yolk sac
stalk (vitelline duct)
The mucosa and glands of the GI tract arise from the (blank) and the surrounding CT and SM comes from (blank) .
endoderm
splachnic mesoderm of the lateral plate
What is the lining of the coelomic sacs from each side of the gut tube and is the pathway for vessels and nerves to reach abdominal organs?
mesentaries
Do we always have mesentaries?
no, they persist only when necessary
What is 2 layers of peritoneum with invested nerves and blood vessels?
mesentary!
Why do we have ventral mesentary in some places but not others?
because in some places we have structures that are anterior to the gut tube developmentally such as the liver, gall bladder etc. You need a mesentary here to support the development of these.
Where do you need to maintain a ventral mesentary (discontinuous)?
the foregut
When do you have a continuous mesentary?
when you have no ventral mesentary
Anywhere below the foregut (midgut or hindgut) what kind of mesentary will you have?
continuous
What region undergoes rotation that takes the ventral mesentary and creates the greater curvature of the stomach?
the foregut
The dorsal mesentary is found throughout the entire length of the abdominal gut tube, but the ventral mesentary is only found in the region of the (blank) where it supports the liver and gall bladder.
foregut
The (blank) and the (blank) represent the two components of the ventral mesentary that remain in the adult.
the lesser omentum and the falciform ligament
The (blank) is important because it supports the umbilical vein.
falciform ligament
What is the only way to get into the right coelomic sac in the region of the foregut?
through the epiploic foramen
Is there anything in the periotoneal sac?
no
What does intraperitoneal mean?
sandwiched between continuous peritoneum
Where is there continuous mesentary?
midgut and hindgut
What does it mean to be peritonealized?
it is intraperitoneal
Although most of the gut tube has a mesentary initially, some structures (blank) their mesentary during future development
lose
Structures that never have a mesentary are primarily (blank).
retroperitoneal
Structures that lose their mesentary are (blank)
secondarily retroperitoneal
