Development of Esophagus The esophagus is the first section of the foregut and begins at the distal end of the pharynx. As with the rest of the digestive tract, the cells that line the lumen of the esophagus are derived from endoderm. The supporting structures of the esophagus come from two different sources, although they are all innervated by the vagus nerve. The muscles and connective…

Development of Mouth and Pharynx The lining of the primitive gut tube is derived from the embryonic endoderm and the supporting tissues and mesentery from the visceral layer of lateral plate mesoderm. The amniotic cavity expands around the developing embryo to create the body wall but leaves the endoderm/ectoderm connection at the oropharyngeal membrane and caudally at the cloacal membrane. The early mouth, stomodeum, is formed…

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 gastrointestinal tract, we will begin with a short summary of the specific embryology relevant to the structures in that region. The single-celled zygote begins dividing roughly…

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 descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum are hindgut structures and develop in conjunction with the urogenital system. During normal development, the midgut elongates tremendously and herniates…

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 duodenum moves to the right of the midline as the stomach rotates and shifts to the left side of the abdomen during weeks 4 to 6…

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 that conventional textbook descriptions are inadequate and, in many respects, even misleading, a situation much the same as that of the blood supply of the upper…

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 dorsal aorta via the celiac arterial trunk. Two diverticula extend from the foregut, one dorsally and the other ventrally. The dorsal pancreatic bud extends into 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 blood from the dorsal aorta via the celiac arterial trunk. Two diverticula extend from the foregut, one dorsally and the other ventrally. The dorsal pancreatic bud…

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 blood from the dorsal aorta via the celiac arterial trunk. Two diverticula extend from the foregut, one dorsally and the other ventrally. The dorsal pancreatic bud…
