2009 Lab 5

Gastrointestinal and Respiratory Development

Introduction

This laboratory will review your understanding of these two systems, embryonically related, but quite separate in the adult.

The laboratory will also allow time for work on the group online project.

Objectives

• Understanding of germ layer contributions to the early gastrointestinal tract (GIT)
• Understanding of three main GIT embryonic divisions and developmental mechanical events.
• Understanding of associated organ development (liver, pancreas, spleen)
• Understanding of embryonic and 4 histological stages of lung development
• Understanding of diaphragm development
• Brief understanding of associated abnormalities

Online Laboratory

Today we will use the online Medicine laboratory designed to understand Gastrointestinal Tract Development. This laboratory consists of only 6 pages shown listed on the pages left hand side menu. Work through the page content and then use the Next link for the next page. Each online lab page also has a list of terms (at bottom of page) and there is a link to a more detailed glossary for any new terms you do not understand.

The additional sections below provide alternative options for working through this topic.
