Q

What does rotation of stomach mean for the duodenum

A
  • Duodenum rotates as well

19
Q

How does the pancreas develop

A
  • 2 buds appear (1 anterior and 1 posterior to duodenum), the ventral and dorsal buds
  • The ventral bud gives rise to the uncinate process
  • Rotation of the duodenum causes the ventral bud to migrate around to lie behind and fuse with the dorsal bud

Q

Describe the development of the pancreatic ducts

A
  • When the ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds fuse, their ductal systems become interconnected
  • Proximal portion of duct of dorsal pancreas degenerates
  • The ducts of dorsal and ventral buds unite to form the main pancreatic duct

Q

Where does the spleen end up after rotation

A

Displaced to the left

24
Q

What is the portion of dorsal mesentery between spleen and stomach called

A

Gastrosplenic ligament

25
What does the midgut form
- Distal duodenum - Jejunum - Ileum - Caecum - Ascending colon - Proximal 2/3 of transverse colon
26
Give an example of a physiological herniation
Presumptive ileum grows faster than other parts of midgut, so grows into umbilical cord (forming the primary intestinal loop)
27
Which artery grows with the primary intestinal loop
Superior mesenteric
28
Total degrees of rotation of the midgut
270
29
Which direction does the primary intestinal loop rotate
Counter-clockwise (as viewed from ventral side)
30
Where does the ileum and large intestine end up after intestinal rotation
- Ileum= right abdomen | - Large intestine= left abdomen
31
What closes the hindgut
Cloacal membrane
32
What is the cloaca
- Dilated space around cloacal membrane | - Has a diverticulum called Allantois
33
Function of Allantois
Connects the gut tube to yolk sac by entering umbilical cord
34
What does the hindgut form
- Distal 1/3 of transverse colon - Descending and sigmoid colon - Upper 2/3 of anorectal canal
35
What divides the cloaca
Coronal urorectal septum
36
What does the urorectal septum divide the cloaca into
- Anteriorly= urogenital sinus | - Posteriorly= anorectal canal
37
What does the urogenital sinus develop into
Urogenital structures
38
What does the anorectal canal develop into
Proximal 2/3 of anal canal
39
How does the cloacal membrane rupture
As the tip of the urorectal septum approaches the cloacal membrane, the anal part of the membrane sinks into the anal pit and the membrane ruptures
40
What does the urorectal septum do
Joins outside ectoderm and becomes the perineal body
41
What marks the boundary between hindgut endoderm and ectoderm
Pectinate line
42
What does the free caudal margin of the falciform ligament carry
Umbilical vein from body wall to liver
43
How is the lesser omentum formed
By the ventral mesentery between liver and lesser curvature
44
What does a patent vitelline duct cause
-Faecal discharge at umbilicus
45
Describe anular pancreas
- If there is a bi-lobed ventral pancreas, can migrate in opposite directions around duodenum - Can strangulate duodenum
46
What is Hirschsprung disease
- Lack of normal development of colonic innervation - Leads to a constricted aganglionic segment of bowel, with a distended segment proximally (the innervation of which is normal)
47
What is a urorectal/rectovaginal fistula
Where the hindgut does not travel down into skin and opens into urethra/vagina instead
48
What is a rectoperineal fistula
A narrowing of rectum
49
What is an imperforated anus
Anal membrane doesn't rupture and remains closed
50
What is gastroschisis
Herniation of the small intestine through a defect on either side of the umbilicus
51
What is exomphalos
Defect on abdominal wall, through which anything can herniate
52
What is an umbilical hernia
Where the umbilicus cannot close
53
How to treat an umbilical hernia
Cover with a bandage, usually closes by itself
54
Give examples of rotational abnormalities of the midgut
- Partial rotation | - Abnormal rotation
55
What is Merkel's diverticulum
- Patent vitelline ligament | - May cause symptoms like appendicitus
