Blood Development Flashcards
Stages of blood vessels formation
Vasculogenesis
Angiogenesis
What causes blood vessels formation ?
Blood vessels form independently from the heart in response to hypoxia.
Define vasculogenesis
Creation of blood vessels
Define angiogenesis
Remodelling and pruning of vessels into a recognisable circulatory system
Creation of blood vessels
Vasculogenesis
Remodelling and pruning of vessels into a recognisable circulatory system
Angiogenesis
Explain steps of Vasculogenesis
- EXTRAEMBRYONIC VASCULOGENESIS
Condensation of mesenchyme cells in extraembryonic tissues - PRIMARY HEART FIELD CREATION
Creation of blood islands around the embryo.
Cardiogenic area creates Primary heart field - Outer cells become blood vessels, inner cells the primitive/stem blood cells.
- FORMATION OF UMBILICAL VEINS
FGF2 stimulates hemangioblast formation. Cords of hemangioblasts join up
Form early vasculature: in response to VEGF. the umbilical veins
How does the Dorsal aorta form?
When primary heart field forms, also get a pair of longitudinal tubes closer to the midline from blood vessels: dorsal aortae.
Posterior sclerotome contributes to endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells for dorsal aorta
Endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells migrate to form dorsal aorta in response to what?
To signals from the primary dorsal aorta
The aortic sac (top of cardiac tube) develops branches which form?
The 6 AORTIC arches that supply the pharyngeal arches
Branches join on to the dorsal aortae
Derivative of branch I?
Disappears: maxillary
Derivative of branch II?
Disappears: Hyoid, stapedial
Derivative of branch III?
Common carotid
Derivative of branch IV ?
L: aorta arch R: R subclavian
Derivative of branch V?
Incomplete and regresses
