Development of the GI tract SanjayaAdikari Dept. of Anatomy
Development of the GUT • Starts at 4th week IUL due to flexion of embryo • Formed by the endoderm lined yolk sac • Epithelium and secretory components of glands derive from endoderm • Muscles and connective tissues derive from splanchnic mesoderm • Primitive gut consists of four parts -Pharynx -Foregut -Midgut -Hindgut • Foregut, midgut and hindgut, each has its own artery
Foregut Bucco-pharyngeal membrane Midgut Vitelline duct Allantois Cloacal membrane Hindgut
Foregut Coeliac artery Midgut Sup. mesenteric artery Hindgut Inf. mesenteric artery
Foregut • Supplied by Coeliac artery • Extends from the bucco-pharyngeal membrane to a point just distal to hepatic diverticulum • Its proximal part extends up to tracheo-bronchial diverticulum • Its distal part extends from TB diverticulum to HD • Derivatives:Pharynx, Oesophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas and duodenum up to duodenal papilla
Development & rotation of stomach • Tube dilates, posterior wall grows rapidly than the anterior wall: Produce lesser & greater curvatures • Dorsal mesogastrium lengthens rapidly & forms greater omentum • Rotates 90 clock wise: left and right vagus nerves become anterior and posterior
Rotation of stomach 90 rotation
Development of spleen • Develops from the dorsal mesogastrium
Development of duodenum • Develops from distal foregut & proximal midgut • Acquires ‘C’ shape due to stomach rotation and growth of pancreatic buds • Dorsal mesentery gets absorbed into posterior abdominal wall: 2nd and 3rd Parts becomes retroperitoneal with pancreas
Development of liver & gall bladder • Liver parenchyma develops from liver bud/hepatic diverticulum • Connective tissue, Kupffer cells and haemopoietic tissue of liver develop from septum transversum • Gall bladder, cystic duct and common bile duct develop from cystic diverticulum
Development of pancreas • Exocrine part develops from the ventral & dorsal pancreatic buds • Endocrine part (Islets of Langerhans) develop from the neural crest cells
Hepatic diverticulum Cystic diverticulum Dorsal pancreatic bud Ventral pancreatic bud
Accessory pancreatic duct Common bile duct Dorsal bud Uncinate process (ventral bud) Gall bladder Main pancreatic duct
Midgut • Supplied by Superior mesenteric artery • Extends from the hepatic diverticulum to the junction of proximal 2/3 and distal 1/3 of the transverse colon • Connected to the yolk sac by vitelline duct through umbilical cord • Undergoes 270 rotation anticlockwise • Derivatives: Part of duodenum, small intestine, caecum, ascending colon and prox. 2/3 of transverse colon
Midgut… • At 6th week I.U.L, mid gut loop herniates through the umbilical region – Physiological umbilical hernia • This is due to rapid increase in length relative to the size of the abdominal cavity • At 10th week I.U.L, it returns to the abdominal cavity • Rotates 90 when herniates and 180 when returns
Hindgut • Supplied by Inferior mesenteric artery • Extends from the junction of proximal 2/3 and distal 1/3 of the transverse colon to Cloacal membrane • Derivates: Distal 1/3 of TC, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum and upper part of anus
Perineum Coccyx Anal triangle subpubic angle Urogenital triangle
Urorectal septum Cloaca Cloacal membrane Urorectal septum divides the cloaca into urogenital part and an anorectal part. This septum also divides the cloacal membrane into urogenitaland anal membranes. The septum itself becomes the perineal body.
Developmental defects - Foregut • Pyloric stenosis: Hypertrophy of pyloric sphincter muscles • Atresia of bile duct: failure to recanalize the cystic diverticulum
Developmental defects - Foregut • Duplication of gall bladder: formation of two cystic diverticula • Annular pancreas: mal fusion of ventral & dorsal pancreatic buds leading to duodenal stenosis
Developmental defects - Midgut • Vitelline fistula: Persistence of vitelline duct • Vitelline cyst: Cyst formation with ligament on either side • Meckelsdiverticulum: Persistence of small part of vitelline duct connected to gut
Developmental defects - Midgut • Omphalocoele: Persistence of physiological umbilical hernia/ non-return of intestinal loops at 10th week IUL
Developmental defects - Hindgut • Imperforate anus: Nonrupture of anal membrane
Developmental defects - Hindgut • Urorectal fistula: Persistent connection between urinary tract & rectum due to defective formation of urorectal septum
Developmental defects - Hindgut • Congenital megacolon: Absence of parasympathetic ganglia in the bowel wall (aganglionicmegacolon or Hirschsprung disease)
