Endoderm
Mesoderm
Ectoderm
Majority of gut, including most of epithelium and glands of digestive tract
Muscular layers
Epithelium at extremities of tract (cranial and caudal
Primitive gut
- formed by
- membranes
Formed by 2 folds: Cranial-caudal and lateral
Week 4: Cranial and caudal ends closed by bucco-pharyngeal and cloacal membranes
Primitive gut formed by
Cranial-caudal and lateral folds
Gut divisions
Foregut
Midgut
Hindgut
Foregut [5]
Oesophagus Stomach Proximal half Duodenum Liver Pancreas
Midgut [6]
Distal half duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum, Cecum, Asc. + ¾ Transv. Colon
Hindgut [4]
¼ Transv. + Desc. + Sigmoid Colon & rectum
Primitive gut held by
mesenteries
Mesenteries [3]
Formed by double layer of peritoneum
Dorsal or mesentery
Suspend gut organs
Pathway for blood, innervation, lymphatics to reach gut
Ventral mesentery [3]
Degrades except for foregut
- ligament around liver
- falciform ligament
- lesser omentum
Lesser omentum [2]
Attach lesser curvature stomach to back of liver
Free edge
Dorsal mesentery [5]
Attach gut organs to posterior abdominal wall
- gastrosplenic
- lienorenal
- greater omentum
- mesentery of SI and LI
Abdomen [2]
Trunk below diaphragm
Abdominopelvic: abdomen proper + greater pelvis
External abdomen wall [2]
Flat abdominal muscle
Lumbar vertebral column
External oblique [4]
Outer surface of lower 8 ribs to
- linea alba
- iliac crest
- pubic tubercle
Internal oblique [4]
Lat 1/3 inguinal ligament and ant 2/3 of iliac crest
to
Linea alba
Costal margin
Crest of pubic bone
Transversus abdominis [4]
From: lat 1/3 inguinal ligament
int surf lower 6 ribs
iliac crest
To: linea alba
crest of pubic bone
Rectus abdominis [3]
From: pubic symphysis + crest
To: xyphoid process
5th-7th costal cartilages
VAN of anterior abdominal wall
Arteries: Sup and Inf epigastric, intercostal,
circumflex iliac
Veins: thoracoepigastric
(between lat thoracic and Sup epigastric)
Nerves: Thoracoabdominal nerves (also thoracic
and subcostal nerves for rectus abdominis)
Anterior abdominal wall functions [4]
Ext Obl: work with Int Obl for torsional movement of trunk
Int Obl: flex and rotate trunk; compress viscera
Transv Abd: compress and support viscera
Rectus Abd: flexes trunk; compress viscera
Inguinal canal passage for [4]
- spermatic cord to reach the scrotum in the male
- the round ligament of the uterus to reach the labia majora in the female
Limited by the superficial and deep inguinal rings (DR)
For both genders the genital nerve (a branch from the genitofemoral) and other blood and lymphatic vessels also travel through this canal
