Thoracic Cavity Development Flashcards
Pleural Cavities
Space in which lungs develop and persist
Pericardial Cavity
Space in which heart develops and persists
Peritoneal Cavity
Space in which abdominal viscera develops and persists
Herniation of small intestine and portion of large intestine
Septum Transversum
Will become the central tendon of the thoracic diaphragm
Intraembryonic Ceolum
Primordium of embryonic cavities
Develops during 4th week
Cranial End of Intraembryonic Ceolum
Future pericardial cavity
Embryo undergoes head fold to get pericardium and heart ventrocaudally to get position anterior to foregut
Caudal Limbs - Intraembryonic Ceolum
Future pleural and peritoneal cavities
Opens to extraembryonic ceolum
Mesenteries
Double layer of peritoneum that extends from abdominal wall
Dorsal Mesentery
Permanent Structure - conveys blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to organs
Ventral Mesentery
Remains attached to caudal part of foregut (liver)
Parietal Peritoneum
covers body wall
Visceral Peritoneum
covers organ
Pericardioperitoneal Canal Location
Lateral to foregut (esophagus)
Dorsal to septum transversum (diaphragm(
Cranial Ridges
Pleuropericardial Folds
Superior to developing lungs
Separate pleural from pericardial cavities
Caudal Ridges
Pleuroperitoneal folds
Inferior to developing lungs
separate pleural from peritoneal cavities
