Study Notes
Development of the GI Tract
- The GI tract develops from a primitive gut tube that forms three main divisions: foregut, midgut, and hindgut.
Foregut
- The foregut gives rise to the:
- Trachea and lungs (via the tracheo-oesophageal septum)
- Oesophagus
- Stomach
- Liver, gall bladder, and ventral pancreas (from the ventral mesogastrium)
- Dorsal pancreas (from the dorsal pancreatic bud)
- Development of the glands of the foregut:
- The liver develops as a diverticulum of the foregut
- The gall bladder and ventral pancreas develop from the liver diverticulum
- The dorsal pancreatic bud appears around day 26, and the ventral pancreatic bud appears less than a day later
- The two pancreatic buds fuse to form a single organ
- Development of the pancreas:
- The stomach rotates to the left, and the hepatic duct and ventral pancreas migrate around the foregut
- The ventral pancreas comes into contact with the dorsal pancreas and fuses with it
- The developing liver and stomach expand within the abdominal cavity, and the pancreas comes to lie on the left
Midgut
- The midgut gives rise to the:
- Duodenum (distal to the opening of the bile duct)
- Jejunum
- Ileum
- Caecum and appendix
- Ascending colon
- Proximal 2/3rds of the transverse colon
- Development of the midgut:
- Umbilical herniation and subsequent mid-gut rotation occur
- The midgut undergoes two phases of rotation: the first 90 degrees counter-clockwise, and the second 180 degrees counter-clockwise
- Failure of the second phase of rotation can result in non-rotation or reversed rotation of the midgut
- Congenital anomalies of the midgut:
- Omphalocoele (failure of the gut to return to the abdominal cavity)
- Gastroschisis (protrusion of the gut through a small opening in the anterior abdominal wall, usually right of the umbilicus)
Hindgut
- The hindgut gives rise to the:
- Distal 1/3rd of the transverse colon
- Descending colon
- Sigmoid colon
- Rectum
- Superior part of the anal canal
- Epithelium of the urinary bladder and most of the urethra
- Development of the hindgut:
- The hindgut also gives rise to the allantois, which forms the fetal bladder and most of the developing urethra
- The proximal part of the allantois duct enlarges to form the fetal bladder
- The hindgut and proctodeum are separated by a membrane that must be perforated before birth
