Week 2 - Development Of The Peritoneum And Foregut Flashcards
How do we get a ventral body wall and a gut within a cavity?
Embryonic folding
In the 4th week when the embryo folds laterally, what does this create?
Ventral body wall, primitive gut becomes tubular
In the 4th week when the embryo folds craniocaudally, what does this create?
Cranial and caudal pockets from yolk sac endoderm
Describe the embryonic divisions of the gut?
Foregut and hindgut are blind ended diverticula
midgut has opening at first and is continuous with yolk sac
What does gut tube pinch off from yolk sac?
3rd week
Where does the gut tube run from?
Stomatodeum (future mouth) to proctodeum (future anus) with an opening at umbilicus
What is the internal ling of the primitive gut derived from?
Endoderm - future epithelial linings
What is the external lining of the primitive gut tube derived from?
Splanchnic mesoderm - future musculature and visceral peritoneum
What does the foregut mature into?
Oesophagus stomach pancreas liver and gall bladder duodenum proximal to bile duct entrance
What does the midgut develop into?
Duodenum distal to entrance of bile duct jejunum ileum cecum ascending colon proximal 2/3 transverse colon
What does the hindgut develop into?
Distal 1/3 transverse colon descending colon sigmoid colon rectum upper anal canal lining of bladder and urethra
What artery supplies the foregut?
Celiac trunk
What artery supplies the midgut?
Superior mesenteric artery
What artery supplies the hindgut?
Inferior mesenteric artery
What is the intraembryonic coelom?
Begins as one large cavity
later subdivides by future diaphragm into abdominal and thoracic cavities
What is the peritoneal cavity?
A potential space that under normal conditions should contain nothing
