5 Development of Great Vessels Flashcards
Role of vitelline vv.
deoxygenated blood from yolk sac –> sinus venosus
Role of umbilical vv.
oxygenated blood from placenta –> sinus venosus
Role of cardinal vv.
deoxygenated blood from body of embryo –> sinus venosus anterior = superior to heart posterior = inferior to heart
right anterior cardinal vein…
R brachiocephalic v. superior vena cava
left anterior cardinal vein…
L brachiocephalic
posterior cardinal vein…
root of azygos v. common iliac vv.
R umbilical vein…
degenerates
L umbilical vein…
umbilical v. ductus venosus (embryo) ligamentum venosum (adult)
Role of ductus venosus
Venous shunt between L umbilical vein and IVC. Takes oxygenated blood right to heart, bypassing sinusoidal capillaries of liver.
R vitelline v.
IVC (hepatic portion, heart –> caudal edge of liver) Contributes to hepatic portal system.
L vitelline v.
Contributes to hepatic portal system.
R horn of sinus venous…
Larger. Sinus venarum of R atrium (smooth)
L horn of sinus venous…
Smaller. Coronary sinus (drains into R atrium).
Dorsal aortae
Unfused in region of pharyngeal arches. Fused distally –> descending aorta.
1st pharyngeal arch aa.
Largely degenerate. Maxillary aa.
2nd pharyngeal arch aa.
Largely degenerate. Stapedial aa.
