The document summarizes the development of the gastrointestinal tract from the primitive gut tube through formation of the definitive foregut, midgut, and hindgut regions. Key points include:
- The gut tube forms from endoderm lined yolk sac enveloped by mesoderm during folding.
- The foregut gives rise to structures like the lungs, esophagus and stomach. The midgut forms the small intestine and parts of the large intestine. The hindgut forms the remaining large intestine.
- Rotation and partitioning of the gut establishes the gut regions. Errors can cause clinical issues like esophageal atresia or intestinal malrotation.
In this presentation the development of Small intestine and Pancreas has been discussed. The viewer would be able to understand the concept of physiological herniation and rotation of the Primary intestinal loop with in the connecting stalk.

The skin is divided into two parts: the superficial part, the
epidermis; and the deep part, the dermis (Fig. 1.4). The
epidermis is a stratified epithelium whose cells become flat
tened as they mature and rise to the surface. On the palms of
the hands and the soles of the feet, the epidermis is extremely
thick, to withstand the wear and tear that occurs in these
regions. In other areas of the body, for example, on the ante
rior surface of the arm and forearm, it is thin. The dermis is
composed of dense connective tissue containing many blood
vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. It shows considerable
variation in thickness in different parts of the body, tending
to be thinner on the anterior than on the posterior surface.
It is thinner in women than in men. The dermis of the skin
is connected to the underlying deep fascia or bones by the
superficial fascia, otherwise known as subcutaneous tissue.
The skin over joints always folds in the same place, the
SKIN CREASES (Fig. 1.5). At these sites, the skin is thinner
than elsewhere and is firmly tethered to underlying struc
tures by strong bands of fibrous tissue.
The appendages of the skin are the nails, hair follicles,
sebaceous glands, and sweat glands.
The nails are keratinized plates on the dorsal surfaces of
the tips of the fingers and toes. The proximal edge of the
plate is the root of the nail (see Fig. 1.5). With the exception
of the distal edge of the plate, the nail is surrounded and
overlapped by folds of skin known as nail folds. The sur
face of skin covered by the nail is the nail bed (see Fig. 1.5).
Hairs grow out of follicles, which are invaginations
of the epidermis into the dermis (see Fig. 1.4). The folli
cles lie obliquely to the skin surface, and their expanded
extremities, called hair bulbs, penetrate to the deeper part
of the dermis. Each hair bulb is concave at its end, and

Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
2. FORMATION OF THE PRIMITIVE GUT
TUBE
The gut tube is formed from endoderm lining the yolk sac
which is enveloped by the developing coelom as the result of
cranial and caudal folding.
During folding, somatic mesoderm is applied to the body wall
to give rise to the parietal peritoneum.
Visceral (or splanchnic) mesoderm is wraps around the gut
tube to form the mesenteries that suspend the gut tube within
the body cavity.
The mesoderm immediately associated with the endodermal
tube also contributes to most of the wall of the gut tube.
3. SUMMARY OF GERM LAYER
CONTRIBUTIONS
Endoderm: mucosal epithelium, mucosal glands, and
submucosal glands of the gi tract.
Mesoderm: lamina propria, muscularis mucosae,
submucosal connective tissue and blood vessels,
muscularis externa, and adventitia/serosa
Neural crest: neurons and nerves of the submucosal
and myenteric plexes.
4.
5. BASIC SUBDIVISIONS OF THE GUT
TUBE
Cranio-caudal and lateral folding cause the opening of the
gut tube to the yolk sac to draw closed forming a pocket
toward the head end of the embryo called the "anterior (or
cranial) intestinal portal" and a "posterior (or caudal)
intestinal portal" toward the tail of the embryo.
These are the future foregut and hindgut, respectively. The
midgut remains open to the yolk sac.
Further folding and growth of the embryo causes the
communication of the gut with the yolk sac to continue to
get smaller and the regions of the gut (foregut, midgut, and
hindgut) to become further refined:

10. DEFINITIVE SUBDIVISIONS OF THE
GUT TUBE
Within the abdominal cavity, the gut is definitively divided into
foregut, midgut, and hindgut.
BASED ON THE ARTERIAL SUPPLY:
Foregut derivatives in the abdomen are supplied by branches of
the celiac artery
Midgut derivatives are supplied by branches of the superior
mesenteric artery
11.
12. CRANIO-CAUDAL PATTERNING OF
THE GUT TUBE
Specific regions of the gut tube (i.e. that which
will become lung vs. that which become
esophagus vs. stomach, etc.) and important
junctions (e.g. gastroesophageal junction) are
established by a cranial to caudal pattern of
segmental, combinatorial "codes" of HOX gene
expression in the endoderm and mesoderm of
the early embryo.
13. RADIAL PATTERNING OF THE GUT
TUBE
Concentric layering of the gut tube is accomplished largely
via expression of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) in the endoderm
which inhibits smooth muscle and neuronal differentiation
close to the endoderm.
Farther away from the endoderm, the SHH concentration is
lower, thus permitting smooth muscle and neuronal
differentiation in the muscularis externa.
Later in development, the SHH expression goes away,
allowing development of smooth muscle in the muscularis
14. As the gut tube tube develops, the endoderm proliferates
rapidly and actually temporarily OCCLUDES the lumen of the
tube around the 5th week.
Growth and expansion of mesoderm components in the wall
coupled with apoptosis of some of the endoderm at around
the 7th week causes recanalization of the tube such that by
the 9th week, the lumen is open again.
This occlusion and recanalization process occurs
THROUGHOUT the tube (esophagus to anus) and errors in
this process can occur in anywhere along the tube resulting
in stenosis (narrowing of the lumen or even outright
occlusion) in that region.
15.
16. MESENTERIES OF THE GUT TUBE
The thoracic esophagus and anus are anchored within the body wall
and are therefore retroperitoneal
The stomach and liver are suspended in a mesentery that is attached
to the dorsal AND ventral
Body walls:
The dorsal mesentery of the stomach becomes the greater omentum
The ventral mesentery of the liver becomes the falciform ligament
The mesentery between the stomach and liver becomes the lesser omentum
The rest of the GI tract is suspended by a dorsal mesentery, named
according to the organ to which it is attached (mesoduodenum,
mesoappendix, mesocolon, etc.)
17. Some portions of the GI tract remain intraperitoneal in the adult and are
therefore suspended by a mesentery.
Some portions of the gi tract, however, are applied against the body
wall during development and the dorsal mesentery becomes
incorporated into the body wall, making the organ secondarily
retroperitoneal.
Retroperitoneal intraperitoneal secondarily

18.
19. ESOPHAGUS
The region of the foregut just caudal to the pharynx
develops two longitudinal ridges called the
tracheoesophageal folds that divide the tube
ventrally into the trachea (and subsequent lung
buds), and dorsally into the esophagus.
As with the rest of the gut tube, the lumen of the
esophagus becomes temporarily OCCLUDED around
the 5th week of development and recanalizes by
around the 9th week.
20. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Esophageal atresia
It occurs when the tracheoesophageal ridges deviate too far
dorsally causing the upper Esophagus to end as a closed
tube.
Usually is accompanied by a tracheoesophageal fistula, in
which case gut contents can be Aspirated into the lungs after
birth causing inflammation (pneumonitis) or even
infection(Pneumonia).
Typically associated with polyhydramnios prenatally (the fetus
cannot swallow amniotic fluid And it accumulates in the
amniotic cavity).
21. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Esophageal stenosis
It occurs when the esophagus fails to recanalize also typically
associated with polyhydramnios prenatally. Postnatally, the child will
regurgitate IMMEDIATELY upon feeding. However, there is usually NOT
a tracheoesophageal fistula, so the lungs will usually NOT be
congested.
Congenital hiatal hernia
It occurs when the esophagus fails to grow adequately in length. As a
result, the esophagus is too short and therefore pulls the cardiac
stomach into the esophageal hiatus in the diaphragm. The resulting
compromised structure of the hiatus can allow other gut
22. STOMACH
It appears first as a fusiform dilation of the foregut
endoderm which undergoes a 90° rotation such that the left
side moves ventrally and the right side moves dorsally (the
vagus nerves follow this rotation which is how the left vagus
becomes anterior and the right vagus becomes posterior).
Differential growth on the left and right sides establishes the
greater and lesser curvatures, respectively; craniocaudal
rotation tips the pylorus superiorly.
Dorsal AND ventral mesenteries of the stomach are retained
to become the greater and lesser omenta, respectively
proliferation of mesoderm derived smooth muscle in the
23.
24. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
It occurs due to oveproliferation (hypertrophy) of the smooth muscle of
the pyloric sphincter
Rather common (0.5% to 0.1% of infants), more so in males than
females; also tends to run in families is associated clinically with
forceful or "projectile," nonbilious vomiting shortly after feeding
because the hypertrophic sphincter prevents gastric emptying into the
duodenum.
The vomit is usually nonbilious because the blockage is upstream of
the duodenal papilla where bile is added to the gut tube.
The hypertrophied sphincter can sometimes be palpated as a small
knot at the right costal margin in the epigastric region –sometimes,
25. LIVER
Arises out of ventral foregut endoderm adjacent to the
septum transversum (the mesoderm of the septum
transversum and developing heart send out signals that
induce this region of endoderm to become liver).
The parenchyma of the liver (cords of hepatocytes and
branched tubules of bile ducts) intercalates within the tissue
of the septum transversum and the plexus of vitelline vessels,
accounting for the overall architecture observed in the adult
(plates of hepatocytes, which are endoderm derived,
26. PANCREAS
The endodermal lining of the foregut forms TWO outgrowths
caudal to the forming liver: the ventral pancreatic bud and
the dorsal pancreatic bud.
Within each bud, the endoderm develops into branched
tubules attached to secretory acini (the exocinre pancreas).
The endocrine pancreas (islets of langerhans) arise from stem
cells at the duct branch points that then develop into discrete
islands of vascularized endocrine tissue within the
27.
28. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Primary rotation of the gut tube, causes the ventral and dorsal
buds to merge together into what is usually a SINGLE organ in the
adult:
The uncinate process of the head of the pancreas is derived from the ventral
pancreatic bud
The remaining portion of the head, body, and tail of the pancreas is derived
from the dorsal pancreatic bud
Errors in the fusion process can result in an annular pancreas that
wraps around the duodenum, which can cause obstruction –the
29. PROXIMAL DUODENUM
Arises from the caudalmost part of the foregut and is
served by anterior and posterior branches of the
superior pancreaticoduodenal artery, which is a branch
of the celiac artery.
With rotation of the gut tube, the duodenum and
pancreas are pushed up against the body wall and
become secondarily retroperitoneal
30. DISTAL DUODENUM
Distal or lower duodenum arises from the cranial most
portion of the midgut and is served by anterior and posterior
branches of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, which is
a branch of the superior mesentery artery.
As with the rest of the duodenum, becomes secondarily
retroperitoneal as with the rest of the entire gi tract, the
lumen is obliterated transiently during development and then
recanalizes.
Failure to recanalize the duodenum can result in stenosis
(narrowing) or atresia (complete blockage), the symptoms of
31. JEJUNUM, ILEUM, CECUM, APPENDIX,
ASCENDING COLON, AND PROXIMAL 2/3 OF
TRANSVERSE COLON
Midgut elongates rapidly beyond the capacity of the embronic
abdominal cavity and thus forms a u-shaped loop that herniates
into the umbilicus and is oriented parallel to axis of the embryo
such that there is an upper, or cranial, loop and a lower, or caudal,
loop.
The upper loop contains what will be jejunum and upper part of the
ileum.
The lower, or caudal loop, contains what will be the lower ileum,
cecum, appendix, ascending colon and proximal 2/23 of the
transverse colon. The appendix can be seen as a diverticulum that
is initially pointed downward or toward the tail.
32. The gut tube undergoes a primary rotation of 90
degrees counterclockwise (if you were looking at the
embryo) such that the lower loop (which has the
appendix) is on the embryo's left side.
As the embryo grows the abdominal cavity expands
thus drawing the gut tube back into the abdomen,
during which time the gut tube further rotates another
180 degrees such that the appendix ends up in the
upper right quadrant.
Growth of colon pushes the appendix down to its final
location in the lower right quadrant.
33.
34.
35. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Failure to obliterate the vitelline duct can result in diverticula (out
pouching of the gut tube) called meckel's diverticula, vitelline cysts or
vitelline fistulas (a connection of the small intestine to the skin).
These will often be attached at one end to the umbilicus and at the other
end to the ileum.
36. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Failure to pull all of the gut contents back into the
abdominal cavity or to completely close off the ventral body
wall at the umbilicus can result in an omphalocoele, where
the gut contents herniate out of the body wall.
Defects and variations in rotation can cause a variety of
aberrant anatomical positions of the viscera that are often
asymptomatic, but important to appreciate when trying to
diagnose and/or treat gastrointestinal problems (e.G.
Appendicitis).
Malrotation can also cause twisting or volvulus of the gut
tube resulting in stenosis and/or ischemia.
38. DERIVATIVES OF THE HINDGUT
Include the distal 1/3 of the transverse colon, descending
colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and upper anal canal.
Terminal end of the hindgut ends in an endoderm lined
pouch called the cloaca, which is in common with the
developing lower urogenital tract.
The formation of a urorectal septum divides the cloaca
ventrally into urogenital sinus and dorsally into the rectoanal
canal:
Urogenital sinus contributes to the lower urogenital tract:
Bladder (except trigone), urethra, and vagina in the female
39. Rectoanal canal: forms the rectum and upper anal canal
Urorectal septum: develops into the perineal body
The portion of the cloaca where the hindgut endoderm is up
against the ectoderm of the skin breaks down to allow the
formation of the anus.
40.
41. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Failure of the cloacal membrane to break down can result in an
imperforate anus.
Failure to generate enough mesoderm during gastrulation can
result in anal atresia in which there is insufficient development of
the wall (namely the smooth muscle and connective tissue) of the
rectoanal canal
Failures in the division of the cloaca (usually accompanied by anal
atresia) can lead to a variety of aberrant connections of the rectal
canal to portions of the urogenital tract.
Innervation of the hindgut is achieved via the migration of vagal
42. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Failure of neural crest cells to migrate and/or differentiate into
neurons in a portion of gut will result in an aganglionic segment
(missing submucosal and myenteric ganglia).
The main function of these ganglia is to allow local relaxation in the
wall of the gut tube, so the aganglionic segment is tonically
contracted, leading to obstruction.
For a variety of reasons, the distal portions of the colon are most
susceptible to this problem, leading to a condition known as
hirschsprung disease or congenital megacolon.
The affected individuals often present with a very distended
abdomen due to the presence of an aganglionic segment of colon
(usually in the sigmoid colon) that causes a blockage and then
The coelom refers to the main body cavity in most multicellular animals and is positioned inside the body to surround and contain the digestive tract and other organs.
Hox genes are a group of related genes that determine the basic structure and orientation of an organism. 'Hox' is short for 'homeobox'.
The septum transversum is a thick mass of cranial mesenchyme that gives rise to parts of the thoracic diaphragm and the ventral mesentery of the foregut in the developed human being.
