Development of Stomach and Greater Omentum The foregut begins as a simple, midline, tubular structure lined by epithelium derived from endoderm. While the endoderm creates the lining of the stomach, the visceral mesoderm that surrounds it will form the muscles,…
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…
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…
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…
