How is the great omentum formed in embryonic development
The dorsal mesgastrum grows in the caudal direction as the stomach rotates along its anterior posterior axis to form greater omentum
58
Compare the great omentum in the embryo v.s the adult.
In the embryo the greater omentum is open to the mental bursa. In the adult the visceral layers of the greater omentum fuse and close off this connection (this occurs because the transverse colon is growing and pushes until the omental bursa is partially shut off)
59

64
What causes the duodenum to loose its mesentery
The rotation of the gut causes the duodenum to be pushed against the posterior back wall
65
Difference between the duodenum in adult verse embryo (other than the fact that the embryo is a straight pole)
The duodenum in the adult is both forgut and hindgut- however, in the embryo that all act as a cohesive unit
66
What is another name for the hepatic diverticulum
liver bud
67
Where does the liver bud form from?
Caudal portion of forgut
68
How are liver cords formed
The liver buds invade the septum transversum
69
What gives rise to the gallbladder?

70
How is the ventral mesentery divided into the falciform ligament and the lesser omentum?
Growth of the liver into the septum transversum
71
How does the hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery, and common bile duct reach the liver?

2 develop in the duodenal region
74
What are the names of the 2 pancreatic diverticulum
dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds
75
What embryonic events cause the dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds to fuse together
Growth of liver and stomach causes the duodenum to get pushed back to the posterior body wall (forming C-shaped loop) causing the buds to come together and fuse on to back wall (thus the pancreas becomes secondarily retroperitoneal)
76
