aortic arches and venous system Flashcards
Aortic Sac
• Ascending Aorta • Aortic Arch • Brachiocephalic Artery
First Arches
• Maxillary Artery (portion)
Second Arches
• Stapedial Artery (portion)
Third Arches
Carotid Arteries
Fourth Arches
- Right – Proximal Right Subclavian Artery
* Left – Aortic arch segment between left carotid and left subclavian artery
Fifth Arches
Transient and never well-developed
• Sixth Arches
- Right – • Proximal - Proximal right pulmonary artery • Distal - distal portion disappears
- Left – • Proximal – Proximal left pulmonary artery • Distal–DuctusArteriosus
Right Dorsal Aorta
• Portion becomes the right subclavian
Left Dorsal Aorta
Distal aortic arch and descending aorta
Right Intersegmental Artery
Part of right subclavian artery
Left Intersegmental Artery
Left subclavian artery
Communication will eventually shift to the right
Occurs at about 4-5 weeks.
Obliteration of the right umbilical vein and left vitelline vein • Occurs

At week 10
left common cardinal vein become obliterated
