38
Q

Clusters of mesodermal cells that become the lining of blood vessels and the cells in that lining

A

Angiogenic clusters

39
Q

Lateral angiogenic clusters get pulled ventrally to form

A

Endocardial tubes

40
Q

Medial angiogenic clusters stay dorsal and become the

A

41
Q

A

Head fold

42
Q

Gets absorbed by the left atrium to form the smooth walled portion

A

Pulmonary vein

43
Q

Thinner than the rest of the atrial septum because it is only one septum thick

A

Fossa ovalis

44
Q

The endocardial cushions are made up of

A

Neural crest cells

45
Q

Foramen primum is NOT a hole in

-rather it is a gap between the septum primum and endocardial cushions

A

septum primum

46
Q

IS a hole in septum prium

A

Foramen secundum

47
Q

Foramen secundum opens before septum primum finishes closing. This ensures that blood can still move from

A

Right to left atrium

48
Q

Forms on right side of septum primer

-much thicker and less flexible

A

Septum secundum

49
Q

The opening that forms when the fossa ovalis bends to the right due to the higher right atrial pressure

A

Foramen ovale

50
Q

When the fossa ovalis and septum secundum don’t fuse properly

-relatively common and not dangerous under left to right pressure gradient in postnatals

A

Probe patency

51
Q

What is more common, VSD’s or ASD’s?

A

VSD’s

52
Q

Increase demand on pulmonary vessels which can lead to pulmonary hypertension

A

Septal defects

53
Q

A neural crest migration defect that is liely to be seen in neural crest syndromes

-commonly associated with valve defects

A

Primum type ASD

54
Q

8x more common and result from a continuous foramen ovale

A

Secundum type

55
Q

Make up valves, septum primum, and aorticopulmonary septum. So disorders relating to these will show up in valves, septum primum, and aorticopulmonary septum

A

Neural crest cells

56
Q

A primum type ASD is in a region near the AV valve and is unrelted to the

A

Fossa ovalis

57
Q

The ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk are equal in

A

Diameter

58
Q

When the aorticopulmonary septum does not form

-still have pulmonary arteries and aorta, but by the time of the split the blood has already mixed

A

Persistent truncus arteriosus

59
Q

Forms 2 non-connected parallel circulation systems

-caused by lack off spiraling of aorticopulmonary septum

A

Transposition of the great arteries

60
Q

All of the blood vessels that supply the brain branch from the aortic arch BEFORE the

-so brain gets most O2 rich blood

A

Ductus arteriosis

61
Q

Why do kids not instantly die with transposition of the great arteries?

A

Because of accompanying ASD’s and VSD’s

62
Q

Closure of ductus arteriosis is due to contraction of

-contracts harder than other atrial smooth muscle

A

Ductal smooth muscle

63
Q

Is the closure of the ductus arteriosis instant?

A

No

64
Q

Prostaglandin synthesis decreases at 9 months of development. This is why preterm babies are more likely to have

Patent ductus arteriosis

65
Q

Narrowing of the aorta

A

Coarctation of the aorta

66
Q

What are the two types of coarctations of the aorta?

2. ) Postductal

67
Q

Coarctation of the aorta before the ductus arteriosis

A

Preductal

68
Q

Shows symptoms in infants after the ductus arteriosis has closed because no collateral circulation develops to compensate in the womb since the ductus arteriosis is still oepn

A

Preductal Coarctation of the Aorta

69
Q

Won’t be symptomatic until adulthood because extra collateral circulation was developed prenatally to compensate

A

Postductal Coarctation of the Aorta

70

Does not bifurcate symmetrically

Anyeurism of the aortic arch

74
Q

What is a symptom of Aortic arch aneurysm and left upper lung cancer

-But NOT RIGHT

A

Hoarseness of voice

75
Q

The easiest way to find the ligamentum arteriosum is to find the

A

Left recurrent laryngeal nerve

76
Q

What are the 5 contents of the posterior mediastinum

A
  1. ) Esophagus
  2. ) Esophageal plexus

77
Q

Drainage for chest wall structures from right intercostall veins

A

Azygous vein

Enlargement of the left atrium (like from mitral valve prolapse) causes

A

Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)

79
Q

Arches over the right bronchus

A

Azygous arch

80
Q

Arches over the left bronchus

A

82
Q

Are just anterior rami of spinal nerves at that level

A

Intercostal nerves

83
