    Study Notes

    Gastrointestinal System: Embryology

    • At the beginning of the 4th week, the primordial gut is closed at the cranial end by the oropharyngeal membrane and at the caudal end by the cloacal membrane.
    • The primordial gut gives rise to epithelia and glands from endoderm, and stroma from lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm.
    • The epithelium within the stomodeum and epithelium of the proctodeum are derived from surface ectoderm.

    Foregut

    • The foregut is vascularized by the celiac trunk and gives rise to:
      • Primordial pharynx
      • Oral cavity
      • Teeth
      • Pharynx
      • Tongue
      • Tonsils
      • Salivary glands (submaxillary, submandibular, sublingual)
      • Upper respiratory system (nasal cavities, nasopharynx)
      • Lower respiratory system (larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs)
      • Esophagus
      • Stomach
      • Duodenum
      • Liver
      • Extrahepatic biliary system (including gallbladder)
      • Pancreas

    Development of Oral Cavity

    • The pharyngeal apparatus consists of pharyngeal arches, pharyngeal membranes, pharyngeal pouches, and endoderm.
    • The esophagus develops from foregut immediately caudal to the pharynx, is partitioned from the trachea by the tracheoesophageal septum, and elongates rapidly.

    Development of Larynx

    • The laryngeal ventricles form during the recanalization process.
    • The recesses are bounded by folds of mucous membrane that become the vestibular folds and vocal folds.
    • The epiglottis develops from the caudal part of the hypopharyngeal eminence, and its growth is rapid during the first three years after birth.
    • The laryngeal muscles develop from myoblasts of the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches and are innervated by branches of the vagus (CN X) nerve.
