A

monozygotic twins
Higher in males
Genetics

25
Q

What does the hepatic diverticulum give rise to?

A

Liver - sinusoids and vessels

26
Q

Briefly describe 2 anomalies of the liver

A

Accessory hepatic ducts

Extra hepatic biliary atresia - obliteration of bile ducts

27
Q

How do the 2 buds of the pancreas join?

A

Ventral and dorsal buds join due to the rotation of the stomach

28
Q

Which parts of the pancreas do the ventral and dorsal buds make?

A

Head

most of pancreas

29
Q

What is annular pancreas?

A

The ventral bud fails to migrate around the duodenum properly causing stenosis

30
Q

What is accessory pancreatic tissue?

A

Pancreatic tissue in other parts of the foregut

31
Q

What week does the dorsal mesogastrium develop?

A

week 4

32
Q

What week does the mesenchyme form the spleen?

A

week 5

33
Q

Is the spleen mesodermal or endodermal derivative?

A

mesodermal

34
Q

Name the parts of the midgut

A

Duodenum (distal part), jejunum, ileum, caecum, appendix, ascending colon, proximal 2/3 transverse colon

35
Q

State the 4 stages of the midgut looping

A

Herniation, rotation, retraction and fixation

36
Q

What kind of herniation is involved in gut looping and briefly explain

A

The midgut herniates into the umbilical cord (yolk sac)

37
Q

What degrees does the midgut loop in umbilical cord?

A

90 degrees counter clockwise

38
Q

What degrees does the midgut loop retract?

A

180 degrees counterclockwise

39
Q

What degrees does the stomach and midgut loop rotate?

A

90 degrees clockwise

270 degrees anticlockwise

40
Q

What is formed if the vitelline duct persists?

A

Meckel diverticulum due to narrowing of ileum lumen

41
Q

What can form from the persistence of the vitelline duct?

A

fistula, vitelline cyst/ ligament

42
Q

What does the vitelline duct join?

A

Yolk sac to midgut lumen

43
Q

What is omphalocele?

A

The herniation of abdominal viscera through an enlarged umbilical ring due to the failure of retraction of herniated loops

44
Q

What organs are often involved with omphalocele?

A

Liver, stomach and intestinal loops

45
Q

What are the organs protruding in omphalocele enclosed by?

A

Amnion layer covering the viscera

46
Q

What is gastroschisis?

A

A muscular defect with the herniation of abdominal contents through the body wall into the amniotic cavity

47
Q

What causes gastrochisis and what are the thought causes?

A

The contents are returned to the abdomen but enter back into the umbilicus
Cocaine and tobacco use

48
Q

Name the parts of the hindgut
