Aorta reverse Flashcards
reverse
first system to begin to function in the embryo
Cardiocasvular system
reverse
from mesodermal cells
angioblasts during 3rd week
Aorta developement
reverse
location in relation to heart
arteries or veins
vessel determination
reverse
2 dorsal aortas
extensions of 2 endocardial heart tubes
quickly fuse into singel vessel
3rd week development
reverse
many branches to feed embryo
branches become lumbar arteries
first single aorta
reverse
develope from intersegmental arteries
common iliac artery developement
reverse
branches anteriorly from aorta and extends into the yolksac
celiac artery
SMA
IMA
develope from this
vitelline artery
reverse
branches off the anterior aorta
gives rise to the internal iliac arteries
umbilical artery
reverse
carries blood from heart
enclosed in sheath containing nerve and vein
3 layers
tunica intima
tunica media
tunicat adventitia
Aorta
reverse
inner vessel wall
tunica intima
reverse
middle vessel wall
arteries have thicker to allow for great elasticity
tunica media
reverse
outer vessel wall
tunica adventitia
reverse
root
ascending
descending
abdominal and branches
bifurcation
Aorta sections
reverse
arises from left ventricle
Aortic root section
reverse
arises short distance from root
forms aortic arch
supplies blood to head and upper extremities
3 branches arise from arch
Aorta ascending
reverse
after aortic arch
posterior along back wall of heart
Aorta descending
reverse
supplies blood to all soft tissue organs in abdomen
starts after passing through diaphragm
Aorta abdominal
reverse
into iliac arteries
Aortic bifurcation
reverse
brachiocephalic
commom carotid
subclavian
Arteries arising from aortic arch
reverse
endters through aortic hiatus of diaphragm
descends anteriorly and slightly left of vertebral bodies
posterior and left of gastroesophogeal junction
flanked on either side by diaphragmatic crura
Anatomy of Abdominal aorta
reverse
Celiac Trunk
SMA
Left & Right Renal A
Left & Right Gonadal A
Root of IMA
Left & Right Common Iliac
Aortic branches
reverse
at L4 into iliac arteries
5cm long
run anterior with corresponding veins
Aortic bifurcation
common iliac arteries
reverse
internal and external iliac arteries
common iliac artery bifurcation
reverse
common hepatic artery
left gastric artery
splenic artery
Celiac trunk
reverse
forms proper hepatic artery and GDA
common hepatic artery
reverse
supplies stomach and esophagus
left gastric artery
reverse
largest branch
forms gastroepiploic artery
supplies stomach and spleen
splenic artery
reverse
arises 1cm inferior to celiac trunk
5 main branches that feed small intestines, inferior pancreatic, duodenal, colic, ileocolic and intestinal arteries
each branch has 10-16 branches
SMA
reverse
arises at L3 or L$
proceeds left and supplies colon and rectum
3 main branches
IMA
reverse
left colic
sigmoid
superior rectal
3 branches of the IMA
reverse
pulsatile abd mass
hemodynamic compromise in lower limbs
abd pain
abd bruit
indications for aortic ultrasound
reverse
midline, left flank with patient supine
right lat decubitus and along lateral edge of rectus abd muscle to evaluate iliacs
acoustic window for aorta
reverse
visualize entire aorta and branches
disections of atheromatous stenoses, aneurysmas, disections or other pathological process
measurements, including dilated segments
adjacent organs and structures
aorta assessment
reverse
tapers from cranial to caudal
- 5 to 1.8cm
- 5 at diaphragm
- 0 midline
- 8 distal
95% of people aorta less than 2.3 in men, 1.9 in women
increases with age
normal aorta measurements
