Objectives.,
Objectives., Embryology Gross anatomy Features of colon, facts, relations and its attachments Blood supply ( Arterial and Venous ) Lymphatic drainage of colon Nerve supply Histology
Colon Introduction.,
Colon Introduction., Large bowel extends from ileocaecal junction to the Anus Large intestine = caecum + colon + rectum Colon is Divided into., Ascending colon Transverse colon Descending colon Sigmoid colon
Embryology of colon
Embryology of colon
Embryology Of Gut..,
Embryology Of Gut.., Blastocyst has, Outer cell mass (trophoblast) & Inner cell mass (embryoblast) Now coming to Embryoblast.,which divides into, Epiblast & Hypoblast And here comes the process of gastrulation, which results in division of epiblast into., Mesoderm &
Embryology Of Gut..,
Embryology Of Gut.., And we know that entire gut is formed from endoderm Now coming to endoderm which replaces hypoblast and covers entire yolk sac…. Now imagine that entire surface of yolk sac is covered with endoderm Yaa..finally precursor for GUT tube is formed successfully
Embryology Of Gut..,
Embryology Of Gut.., Now the yolk sac which is covered by endoderm forms head and tail fold After formation of head and tail fold, Part of Yolk sac goes into embryo and forms primitive Gut

Embryology Of Gut..,
Embryology Of Gut.., Primitive GUT has 3 parts Midgut and
Embryology Of Gut..,
Embryology Of Gut.., For colon, midgut and hindgut are the precursors Midgut initially is a blunt wide tube which later forms a loop along the axis of vitelline artery (later forms the Superior Mesenteric Artery) After loop formation midgut is divided into prearterial and postarterial parts
Embryology Of Gut.., (Midgut)
Embryology Of Gut.., (Midgut) After loop formation midgut is divided into prearterial and postarterial parts Derivatives of prearterial midgut includes, Half of D2, D3, D4 Derivatives of postarterial midgut includes, Terminal ileum Caecum and Appendix Ascending colon Right 2/3rd of transverse colon
Embryology Of Gut.., (Hindgut)
Embryology Of Gut.., (Hindgut) Now coming to hindgut.. Hindgut is divided by allantoic diverticulum into Pre allantoic part and Post allantoic part Derivatives of Pre allantoic HindGut Left 1/3rd of transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon Derivatives of post allantoic Hindgut Forms dilated cloaca which again divides into ventral urogenital sinus and dorsal Rectum and Anal Canal
