Term
Of what origin is the yolk sac?
Definition
endodermal
Term
To what organ systems does the yolk sac contribute? (8)
Definition
hematopoietic, immune, endocrine, reproductive, urinary, auditory, respiratory, and digestive
Term
What is the long tube and it's two sections that are formed from the yolk sac?
Definition
the villetine duct and allantois
Term
What are the 4 parts of the gut tube?
Definition
The pharyngeal gut, foregut, hindgut, and midgut.
Term
What is the dorsal mesentary made of and what does it do?
Definition
Made of splanchnic mesoderm and it suspends the foregut, midgut, and hindgut along the midline of the embryo.
Term
What does the ventral mesentary do?
Definition
It tethers the foregut along the midline as well but there is no vetnral mesentary beyond the hepatic direticulum
Term
What forms the greater omentum?
Definition
The dorsal mesentary after it enlarges
Term
What is the dorsal mesentary of the stomach called?
Definition
The dorsal mesogastrium
Term
What does the ventral mesogastrium become?
Definition
The falciform ligament and the lesser omentum
Term
What's the hepatic diverticulum?
Definition
It's a ventral structure that has 3 buds: the liver, gallbladder, and ventral pancreas bud.
Term
Septum transversum
Definition
immediately above the liver and the liver grows into portions of it.
Term
Dorsal pancreas bud
Definition
arises in the dorsal mesogastrium and is joined by the ventral pancreas bud. they fues and become retroperitoneal.
Term
What four organs drain into the second portion of the duodenum?
Definition
The gallbladder, the liver, the spleen, and the pancreas
Term
Physiological herniation
Definition
the time before 10 weeks of fetal development when the midgut an hindgut exceed the volume of the abdominal cavity so the bowel herniates into the connecting stalk.
Term
Ligament of Treitz
Definition
where the retroperitoneal duodenum perforates the dorsal mesentary of the colon
Term
The allantois becomes the:
Definition
bladder
Term
The distal hindgut becomes the:
Definition
rectum
Term
Urorectal septum
Definition
a shelf of splanchnic mesoderm that seperates the distal hindgut and the allantois
Term
Tracheo-esophageal fistula
Definition
when the elongating lung bud and the adjacent elongating esophagus fues to share a lumen
Term
esophageal atresia
Definition
the esophagus ends in a blind pouch
Term
Annular pancreas
Definition
pancreatic tissue completely surrounds and narrows the duodenum. Occurs when pieces of the pancreas are deposited along the path of the migrating ventral pancreas
Term
Meckels diverticulum
Definition
vitellin duct stays open, present in 2-4% of population
Term
Omphalocele
Definition
abdominal organs remain in the umbilical cord, half of affected individuals have an chromosomal anomoly
Term
Umbilical hernia
Definition
Similar to omphalocele but less severe. A portion of intestines protrudes the umbilicus but is covered by skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Term
What's the vascular supply to each segment of the gut?
Definition

The pharyngeal arch: aortic arch system

Foregut: Celiac Artery

Midgut: SMA

Hindgut: IMA
