Definition
one side of the skull is smaller than the other, premature closing of suture only on ONE side

Term
what are the two diverticula of the embryonic foregut, and what do they form?
Definition
liver diverticulum (hepatic bud)--> liver, gallbladder, bile duct system, and ventral pancreatic bud

dorsal pancreatic bud--> pancreas

reverse rotation
Definition
rotation of 180 degrees in the opposite direction

-duodenum and SMA anterior to the transverse colon
-transverse colon may become occluded by the duodenum and SMA
Term
subhepatic rotation
Definition
failure of cecum to descend and of ascending colon to form

Term
Meckel's diverticulum
Definition
remnant of the embryonic yolk sac (vitelline duct) found in the ileum occurring in about 2% of the population, may become inflamed and mimic the pain of appendicitis
