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.
