Study Notes
Allantois and Umbilical Cord Formation
- Allantois develops into the cloaca.
- By four weeks, the connecting stalk and yolk sac stalk fuse, forming the umbilical cord.
- The distal allantois remains in the connecting stalk, originating at the foregut's ventral wall.
Primitive Gut Structure
- Stomodeum (ectoderm) located at the cranial end of the gut.
- Foregut, midgut, and hindgut consist of endoderm and splanchnic mesoderm.
- Proctodeum (anal pit) is at the caudal end, composed of ectoderm.
Derivatives of the Foregut
- Forms important structures: pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum (proximal to bile duct), liver, biliary system, and pancreas.
- The partitioning of the foregut begins at four weeks with the tracheoesophageal septum.
Esophagus Development
- Initially short, lengthens as the heart and lungs descend.
- Upper two-thirds of the esophagus is striated muscle, formed by surrounding visceral mesenchyme, influenced by the vagus nerve.
Stomach Development
- Dorsal wall grows faster than the ventral wall, creating the greater and lesser curvature.
- Stomach rotation involves moving the ventral surface to the right and the dorsal border to the left, changing the long axis to near transverse orientation.
Pancreas Formation
- Develops from two pancreatic buds: the dorsal bud in the dorsal mesentery and the ventral bud near the bile duct.
- FGF2 and Activin from the notochord regulate pancreas development.
- The ventral bud relocates dorsally during the rotation of the duodenum.
Midgut Development
- Midgut is suspended by the vitelline duct, which transforms into fibrous cords during Week 5.
- Omphalocele and gastroschisis are associated with abnormal midgut development.
Gut Rotation Defects
- Malrotation can lead to volvulus, compromising blood supply.
- Normal rotation of the primary intestinal loop is 270° counterclockwise.
Associated Anomalies
- Omphalocele and gastroschisis are defects involving abdominal contents.
- Risk factors for omphalocele include alcohol, tobacco, SSRI use, and obesity.
Peritoneum
- Continuous serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity, reflected onto the viscera.
