* '''cholangiocytes''' - epithelial cells that line the intra- and extrahepatic ducts of the biliary tree. These cells modify the hepatocyte-derived bile, and are regulated by hormones, peptides, nucleotides, neurotransmitters, and other molecules. {{liver}} | * '''cholangiocytes''' - epithelial cells that line the intra- and extrahepatic ducts of the biliary tree.

* ''' | * '''{{coelomic cavity}}''' - (coelom) Term used to describe a space. There are extra-embryonic and intra-embryonic coeloms that form during vertebrate development. The single intra-embryonic coelom forms the 3 major body cavities: pleural cavity, pericardial cavity and peritoneal cavity. | ||
* '''crypt of Lieberkühn''' - (intestinal gland, intestinal crypt) intestinal villi epithelia extend down into the lamina propria where they form crypts that are the source of epithelial stem cells and immune function. | * '''crypt of Lieberkühn''' - (intestinal gland, intestinal crypt) intestinal villi epithelia extend down into the lamina propria where they form crypts that are the source of epithelial stem cells and immune function. | ||
* '''foregut''' - The first of the three part/division ('''foregut''' - midgut - hindgut) of the early forming gastrointestinal tract. The foregut runs from the buccopharyngeal membrane to the midgut and forms all the tract (esophagus and stomach) from the oral cavity to beneath the stomach. | * '''foregut''' - The first of the three part/division ('''foregut''' - midgut - hindgut) of the early forming gastrointestinal tract. The foregut runs from the buccopharyngeal membrane to the midgut and forms all the tract (esophagus and stomach) from the oral cavity to the duodenum beneath the stomach. A ventral bifurcation of the foregut will also form the {{respiratory}} tract epithelium. | ||
* '''galactosemia''' - Metabolic abnormality where the simple sugar galactose (half of lactose, the sugar in milk) cannot be metabolised. People with galactosemia cannot tolerate any form of milk (human or animal). Detected by the Guthrie test. | * '''galactosemia''' - Metabolic abnormality where the simple sugar galactose (half of lactose, the sugar in milk) cannot be metabolised.

Term means literally means "to form a gut" but is more in development, as this process converts the bilaminar embryo (epiblast/hypoblast) into the trilaminar embryo ({{Endoderm}}/{{Mesoderm}}/{{Ectoderm}}) establishing the 3 germ layers that will form all the future tissues of the entire embryo. This process also establishes the the initial body axes. (More? [[Gastrulation]]) | ||
