Development of Gastrointestinal Tract We will take a very short tour of early development prior to the trilaminar embryo stage, at which time we will follow the development of the gastrointestinal tract in detail. Thereafter, for each region of the…
Development of Large Intestine The development of the large intestine is intimately tied to the development of other organs. The cecum, appendix, ascending colon, and transverse colon are part of the midgut and develop alongside the jejunum and ileum. The…
Development of Small Intestine The small intestine includes the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. During development of the gastrointestinal system, the duodenum comes from the distal portion of the foregut, whereas the jejunum and ileum come entirely from the midgut. The…
Blood Supply of Small and Large Intestines The blood supply to the small and large intestines is extremely variable and unpredictable. The variations concerning the origin, course, anastomoses, and distribution of the intestinal vessels are so frequent and so significant…
Development of Pancreas The foregut is the first segment of the gut tube within the abdomen. It is attached to the anterior body wall by a ventral/anterior mesentery and posteriorly by a dorsal/posterior mesentery, the latter distributing blood from the…
Development of Gallbladder and Bile Ducts The foregut is the first segment of the gut tube within the abdomen. It is attached to the anterior body wall by a ventral/anterior mesentery and posteriorly by a dorsal/posterior mesentery, the latter supplying…
Development of Liver The foregut is the first segment of the gut tube within the abdomen. It is attached to the anterior body wall by a ventral/anterior mesentery and to the posterior wall by a dorsal/posterior mesentery, the latter supplying…
1 Head and Neck Study Guide 1.1 Topographic Surface Anatomy Study Aims At the end of your study, you should be able to: Identify the key landmarks in the midline of the neck and their significance State the structures that…
Section 1 Introduction Plates 1–21 Plate 1 Body Planes and Terms of Relationship This plate summarizes anatomical planes of study and terms of anatomical relationship. Note that in these images, the subject is always in a consistent anatomical position, with the head…
