1 - Development of Great Vessels Flashcards
How is the heart initially connected to the paired dorsal aorta?
What embryological structure is the aortic sac the rostral part of?
What occurs to this pair of vessels during development?
By paired aortic arches from the aortic sac
Truncus Arteriosus
The paired dorsal aortae fuse to form single aorta
What are the branches of the fused single aorta?
- Paired intersegmental arteries
- Unpaired Vitelline arteries
- Paired umbilical arteries
- Paired Lateral splanchnic arteries
Where do the paired intersegmental arteries grow?
Where do they supply blood?
What do they form in the mature body (from what intercostal spaces)?**
Grow between somites
Supply blood to body wall
- Posterior Intercostal and Lumbar Arteries (part of right / left subclavian A.’s) - 7th Intersegmental - Upper Extremity
- Common Iliac Arteries - 5th Lumbar Intersegmental - Lower Extremity
What structures do the unpaired vitelline arteries supply?
What vessels do they form in the mature body?
Yolk Sac (primitive gut) derivatives
- Esophageal and Bronchial Arteries
- Celiac, Superior/Inferior Mesenteric
What do the Paired Umbilical Arteries branch off?
What do they become in the mature body?
Branch off 5th Lumbar Intersegmental Artery (future Common Iliac)
- Internal Iliac Arteries
- Superior Vesicle Artery (bladder)
- (Not artery) Medial Umbilical Ligament
What is the fate of aortic carches 1, 2, and 5?
What do aortic arches 1 and 2 form?
They degenerate
Part of Maxillary A. and Stapedial A.
What does Aortic Arch 3 from?
What occurs to the dorsal aortae connecting Arches 3 and 4?
Proximal - Forms Common Carotid Artery
Distal + oart of dorsal Aorta form Internal Carotid Artery, External Carotid Artery
They degenerate
What does the Left Aortic Arch 4 form?
What does the Right Aortic Arch 5 form?
Left - Arch of the Aorta (with Aortic Sac / Left Dorsal Aorta)
Right - Right Subclavian Artery (with Right Dorsal Aorta / Right 7th Intersegmental Artery)
What three embryonic vessels for the Arch of the Aorta?
What three embryonic vessels for the Right Subclavian?
What forms the Left Subclavian?
Arch of Aorta: Left Aortic Arch 4, Aortic Sac, Left Dorsal Aorta
Right Subclavian: Right Aortic Arch 4, Right Dorsal Aorta, Right 7th Intersegmental Artery
Left Subclavian: Left 7th Intersegmental Artery
What does the Proximal part of Aortic Arch 6 form?
What does the Distal part of Aortic Arch 6 form?
Proximal - Left and Right Pulmonary Arteries
Distal - Right degenerates, Left persists as ductus arteriosus
What are the two fetal bypasses of pulmonary circulation?
What occurs to these following birth?
- Foramen Ovale connecting RA and LA
- Ductus Arteriosus connecting Left Pulmonary Artery to Arch of Aorta
- - - - Foramen Ovale closes (normal) due to reversal of Pressure Gradient
- Ductus Arteriosus smooth muscle wall constrict, closing off. Becomes Ligamentum Arteriosum
What forms the braciocephalic trunk?
Aortic Sac
What is the fate of the causal part of right dorsal aorta bwteen the 7th Intersegmental Artery and the fused right and left dorsal aortae?
Shit go bye bye
What nerve supplies the 6th Pharyngeal Arch?
Recurrent laryngeal nerve of the vagus nerve
What is the fate of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve?
What structure does it hook around?
Due to the 6th/5th Aortic Arch degeneration on the right, it hooks around the 4th which forms the right subclavian artery
This is how the Right Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve hooks around the Right Subclavian Artery
