1
When does embryonic folding take place
Week 4
2
Consequences of lateral folding
Creates ventral body wall
Primitive gut tube becomes tubular
3
Consequences of craniocaudal folding
Creates cranial and caudal pockets from yolk sac endoderm
4
Divisions of the primitive gut tube
Foregut
Midgut
Hindgut
5
When does the primitive gut tube begin to develop
Week 3 when it pinches off from the yolk sac cavity
6
Where does the primitive gut tube run from and to
From the stomatodeum to the proctodeum
7
What is the opening of the primitive gut tube called and where is it
Vitelline duct at the umbilicus
8
What are the origins of the internal and external lining of the primitive gut tube
Internal lining - endoderm
External lining - splanchnic mesoderm
9
What is the intraembryonic coelom/ coelomic cavity
Cavity created between the somatic and splanchnic mesoderm layers which the primitive gut tube is suspended in
10
Adult derivatives of foregut
Oesophagus
Stomach
Pancreas
Liver
Gall bladder
Duodenum proximal to entrance of bile duct
11
Adult derivatives of midgut
Duodenum distal to entrance of bile duct
Jejunum
Ileum
Caecum
Ascending colon
Proximal 2/3 transverse colon
12
Adult derivatives of hindgut
Distal 1/3 transverse colon
Descending colon
Sigmoid colon
Rectum
Upper anal canal
Internal lining of bladder and urethra
13
Blood supply of foregut
Celiac trunk
14
Blood supply and innervation of midgut
Superior mesenteric artery and vein
Parasympathetic - vagus nerve
Sympathetic - superior mesenteric ganglion and plexus
15
Blood supply and innervation of hindgut
Inferior mesenteric artery and vein
Parasympathetic - pelvic nerve (S2-4)
Sympathetic - inferior mesenteric ganglion and plexus
16
Adult derivative of somatic mesoderm surrounding the gut
Muscles and fascia of abdominal wall
17
Adult derivative of splanchnic mesoderm surrounding the gut
Smooth muscle of gut wall
18
How does the linea alba form
Progression of lateral folding leads to the 2 sides of the developing anterolateral abdominal wall to meet in the midline
19
What is the inguinal canal and what does it allow in males
Oblique through the layers of the abdominal wall
In males, it allows passage of developing testes into the scrotum
20
What is an inguinal hernia
Abdominal contents push against the inguinal canal and herniate through as it is a potential site of weakness
21
What is an umbilical hernia
Congenital malformation
Abdominal contents push against the umbilicus and herniate through as it is a potential site of weakness
22
How is the intraembryonic coelom divided and by what
Diaphragm divides the intraembryonic coelom into the:
Abdominal cavity
Thoracic cavity
23
What connects the primitive gut tube to the abdominal wall
Dorsal mesentery - foregut, midgut and hindgut to the roof of the abdominal cavity
Ventral mesentery - foregut to the floor of the abdominal cavity
24
What do the dorsal and ventral mesenteries in the foregut region divide the peritoneal cavity into
Greater peritoneal sac (left)
Lesser peritoneal sac (right)
25
What is an omentum
A double layered extension/fold of peritoneum that passes from the stomach and proximal duodenum to adjacent abdominal organs
26
What is the greater omentum
4 layered peritoneal fold that descends from the greater curve of the stomach, folds back, and attaches to the anterior transverse colon and its mesentery
(Formed from dorsal mesentery of stomach)
27
What is the lesser omentum
Double layered peritoneal fold that connects the lesser curvature of the stomach and proximal duodenum to the liver
It's made up of the hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments
(Formed from ventral mesentery of stomach)
28
How do the omenta form
Rotation of the stomach
29
How is the greater curvature of the stomach created
Dorsal border of stomach grows faster than the ventral border
