Embryology Dr.Maan Lec.5 By :Qasim M.Al-hussainy Dr.Maan Alkhalisy Embryology Lec.S The Gut tube and th:e Body cavities During the 3rd & 4th wk, the neural plate forms the neural tube dorsally, while endoderm folds ventrally forming gut tube. In between t~se two tubes, the mesoderm holds these .two tubes. Lateral to this midline mesoderm, there is lateral plate component of the mesoderm which will split into visceral (splanchnic) layer & parietal (somatic) layer. The visceral layer covers intimately the gut tube while the parietal layer lines the ectoderm. The parietal mesoderm, together with the overlying ectoderm, forms the lateral body wall fold. This fold, from each side, will curved ventrally to close the ventral body wall. The space between visceral & parietal layer of lateral plate of mesoderm is called primitive body cavity, which is a continuous cavity (since not subdivided to thoracic & abdominal cavity). With the folding of the fetus (from head to tail region) the amniotic cavity will surround the fetus while the yolk sac (as lateral body walLfolded ventrally) will be incorporated with body cavity of the embryo leaving vitelline duct connecting the remaining part of yolk sac with the midgut. Later on, the yolk sac disappear (between the 2nd & 3rd month of · gestation) & vitelline duct become narrower & remain one of the structures of the umbilical cord. The parietal layer of the lateral plate will be differentiated into ' ' peritoneal, pleural & pericardial parietal membranes lining the outside of the corresponding cavities.

Visceral & parietal layers are continuous dorsally, forming the dorsal mesentery which extends from caudal limit of foregut to the end of the hindgut. While ventral mesentery exists only from caudal foregut to the upper portion of duodenum. This results from thining mesoderm of septum transversum which is a block of mesoderm forms connective tissue in the liver& central tendon of diaphragm. Diaphragmatic & thoracic cavities: The septum transversum is thick plate of mesoderm occupying the space between thoracic cavity & the stalk of the yolk sac. Septum transversum is derived from visceral (splanchnic) mesoderm surrounding the heart, therefore; it assumed its position between primitive thoracic & abdominal cavities.

Therefore; the connection between abdominal & thoracic •. cavities will be disappeared. Myoblasts originate from somite (c3, 4, 5) will form the muscular part of the diaphragm. ~ -, Therefore the diaphragm is derived from the following structures: 1. Septum transversum (which later form central tendon of diaphragm). 2. The two pleura-peritoneal membranes. 3. Muscular component from cerv_ical somite (C3-C5). 4. Mesentery of esophagus (which forms the future crura of the diaphragm). The nerve supply of the diaphragm is the phrenic nerve whose component is C3, C4 (mainly) & C5 for sensory & motor innervations . .. f
