Study Notes
-
The endoderm of the foregut gives rise to the epithelial lining of various parts of the gut, including the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and digestive glands.
-
The oropharyngeal membrane, which separates the foregut from the outside world, breaks down and forms the oral cavity, while the stomodeum, a depression in the ectoderm, becomes the origin of the tongue and salivary glands.
-
The midgut derivatives include the small intestines, caecum, and ascending colon, while the hindgut derivatives are the transverse and descending colon and the rectum.
-
The wall of the gut is made up of both an inner epithelial lining and a surrounding layer of visceral mesoderm, which gives rise to the smooth muscles and connective tissues of the digestive system.
-
The oesophagus develops from the foregut, caudal to the pharynx, and is surrounded by mesoderm which gives rise to the muscular layer and connective tissues. In most species, the oesophagus has a varying degree of striated and smooth musculature.
-
The stomach develops from a spindle-shaped dilatation in the caudal part of the foregut, which is later divided into the greater and lesser omentum. In monogastric animals, the stomach is a simple, flattened C-shaped sac with a convex greater curvature and a concave lesser curvature, while in birds and ruminants, it has a multi-chambered structure.
-
The esophagus and stomach are two distinct parts of the digestive tract, with the esophagus being a tube that connects the mouth to the stomach, and the stomach being a sac that begins the process of digestion.
-
The stomach has a simple columnar epithelium lining, which later exhibits species-specific regional differences. For example, in horses and pigs, stratified squamous epithelium replaces columnar epithelium in defined gastric regions.
-
The cloaca is the common chamber of the hindgut in early embryonic development, which later gets partitioned into the rectum and urogenital sinus in mammals.
-
The dorsal component of the cloaca forms the rectum and anal canal, with the anal membrane eventually degenerating. If the anal membrane persists, it can result in anal atresia or imperforate anus, leading to communication between the rectum and urethra (males) or vagina (females).
-
The ventral component of the cloaca forms the urogenital sinus, which eventually becomes the urinary bladder and urethra.
-
The coelomic cavities are initially formed as a single cavity in the lateral plate mesoderm and later divided to give rise to the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities.
-
The peritoneal cavity is the largest of the three body cavities, formed by the fusion of the left and right coelomic cavities, with the coelomic epithelium transforming into the peritoneum.
-
In the abdominal region, the gut is trapped between the left and right coelomic cavities, which surround the developing gut and form the mesenteries and other visceral ligaments.
-
In the embryonic thorax, the ventral part of the coelomic cavity becomes the pericardial cavity, which surrounds the heart, and the pleural cavities, which are the spaces surrounding the lungs. As the lungs grow, the pleural cavities enlarge and carve into the body wall. The coelomic wall surrounding the lung transforms into the pleura, while the coelomic part enveloping the heart forms the pericardium. Eventually, the ventral pericardial cavity and the dorsal pleural cavities are separated by the growth of bilateral pleuropericardial folds.
-
The haematopoiesis process causes the intestines to return to the abdominal cavity, attached only by a dorsal mesentery
-
The main arterial supply to the intestine is the cranial mesenteric artery, which runs longitudinally in the centre of the dorsal mesentery
-
The caecum, a part of the midgut loop, develops as an outgrowth of the caudal limb and establishes a landmark separating the small intestine from the large intestine
-
The midgut loop undergoes a clockwise rotation around the mesentery artery, resulting in a full rotation of about 360 degrees
-
The cranial part of the midgut loop forms the U-shaped duodenum, which is attached to the liver by the common bile duct and begins near the right side of the abdominal cavity
-
The jejunum is the more mobile part of the gut, developing many coils and intestinal loops occupying most of the ventral abdominal cavity
-
The ileum is a short portion located next to the caecum
-
Failure in the vitelline duct involution can result in congenital anomalies such as umbilical fistula, Meckel's diverticulum, and vitelline cysts
-
The intestines and oesophagus undergo temporary atresia (no lumen) during development, but re-canalisation occurs and congenital atresia or stenosis can occur as a result of failure to re-canalise
-
A congenital umbilical hernia occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through the umbilical opening in the abdominal muscles
-
Omphalocele is a rare abdominal wall defect in which the intestines, liver, and other organs remain outside of the abdomen in a sac due to a defect in the development of the muscles of the abdominal wall.
