DV of Abdomen and GIT Flashcards
Cranial and caudal folding ‘divides’ the gut into 3 parts:
-foregut
-midgut
-hindgut
Foregut:
-endodermally-lined
-within head fold
Hindgut
-endodermally-lined
Midgut:
-between foregut and hindgut
-continuous with yolk sac
What are the general derivatives in an adult form the foregut?
-pharynx
-glands of pharyngeal pouches
-respiratory tract
-esophagus
-stomach
-liver, gall bladder, pancreas
-upper duodenum
What are the general derivatives in an adult form the midgut?
-lower duodenum
-jejunum and ileum
-cecum
-ascending colon
-cranial half of transverse colon
What are the general derivatives in an adult form the hindgut?
-caudal half of transverse colon
-descending colon
-rectum
-anal canal
What are the ectodermal indentation and depression?
-stomedeum
-proctodeum
Stomedeum:
-ectodermal indentation
-head region
*blind end of foregut lies apposed to it
Proctodeum:
-ectodermal depression
-in contact with endodermal end of hindgut
What suspends the embryonic gut due to lateral body folding?
-dorsal and ventral mesenteries( not in esophagus and anal canal)
>double folds of mesothelium
*caudal to start of SI the ventral mesentery atrophies
What is between the folds of the dorsal mesentery?
-vascular, lymphatic and nerve supply
What is the alimentary tract?
-esophagus to anus
*molecular interactions between endoderm and mesoderm determine development
What in the digestive tract arises from endoderm?
-epithelium
-glands
What in the digestive tract arises from splanchnic mesoderm:
-smooth muscle
-connective tissue
What are the 4 histological layers that arise?
-mucosa and submucosa (endoderm origin)
-tunica muscularis and serosa (splanchnic mesoderm origin)
Esophagus:
-from tracheal groove to the dilation of the foregut (primordial stomach)
-endoderm is surrounded by somatic mesoderm of head ->develop into skeletal muscle=SPECIES DEPENDENT
*columnar to stratified squamous (keratinization in herbivores)
Ruminants and dogs esophagus:
-entirely striated muscle around esophagus
Horses esophagus:
-last third of muscle is smooth
Cats and other carnivores esophagus:
-some smooth muscle in terminal portion
>then mostly striated
Porcine esophagus:
-mostly striated
-short portion near stomach is smooth muscle
Dorsal and ventral mesogastria:
-attaches the fusiform expansion of the caudal end of the foregut to the dorsal and ventral abdominal walls
What causes a greater dorsal and lesser ventral one?
-dorsal part of stomach grows faster than ventral
*faster growth at cranial end produces a fundus portion
