Endoderm Development

Introduction

This lecture will cover the early development of the endoderm layer of the trilaminar embryo as it contributes to the lining, glands and organs of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Note that we will be returning later to discuss the gastrointestinal tract, associated organs and physical growth changes.

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
