Introduction

Dr Mark Hill

I am offering a voluntary second tutorial session on Thur 7th September 11 AM - Scenario room G10

This is a voluntary tutorial session and attendance is not compulsory. Notice of this tutorial will be also on the Moodle Course Announcements.

The tutorial will be an opportunity for students to ask any questions you may have about the content within the next 3 online lectures. Please feel free to post any questions or content you would like covered to Moodle.

Online Lectures

Gastrointestinal Development

Endoderm - Gastrointestinal Tract

Lecture Objectives

  • Understanding of germ layer contributions to the early gastrointestinal tract (GIT)
  • Understanding of the folding of the GIT
  • Understanding of three main GIT embryonic divisions
  • Understanding of associated organ development (liver, pancreas, spleen)
  • Brief understanding of mechanical changes (rotations) during GIT development
  • Brief understanding of gastrointestinal abnormalities


Germ Layer Contributions
  • Endoderm - epithelium and associated glands.
  • Mesoderm (splanchnic) - mesentry, connective tissues, smooth muscle, blood vessels.
  • Ectoderm (neural crest) - enteric nervous system.
