Q

Blood Leaves the heart through:

A

Pulmonary trunk or the aorta

Then it flows into smaller ad smaller arteries, then int arterioles, capillaries, venules, and finally into incresingly large beins until it ultimately returens to the heart.

Near the right venous angle.

110
Q

True or False: There is variations of the thoracic duct and its entrance into the venous system?

111
Q

What are the 2 unique features of fetal biology that necessite difference in fetal circulation pattern as compared to the adult:

A
  1. Lungs are shrunken, nonfunctional, & present a considerable resistance to blood flow.
  2. Oxygenation (an nutrient-waste exchange) occures in the placenta, which is physically distince from the fetus.
112
Q

What circulatory structures are present in the fetus:

A

Umbilical arteries

Umbilical vein

Ductus Venosus

Foramen ovale

Ductus arteriosus

113
Q

Where do the umbilical arteries (left & right pair) originate from?

A

Internal iliac aa.

114
Q

What do the umbilical arteries (left & right pair) do?

A

Carry fetal blood out through the umbilical cord to he placenta for nutrient-waste exchange.

115
Q

What does the umbilical vein do?

A

Returns fetal blood from the placenta to the fetus.

116
Q

Where does the umbilical vein travel?

A

From the umbilical cord to the liver and continues through the liver as a channel, the ductus venosus.

117
Q

Where does the umbilical vein travel through?

A

Ductus venosus, which is a channel through the liver.

118
Q

What is the Foramen ovale?

A

A passage through the interatrial septum.

119
Q

What is the purpose of the Foramen ovale?

A

A passage through the interatrial septum, which allows some of the blood to bypass the lungs by flowing directly from the right atrium to the left atrium.

120
Q

What is the ductus arteriosus?

A

A vascular connection between the pulmonary trunk and the aorta.

121
Q

What is the purpose of the ductus arteriosus?

A

Allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the nonfunctional lungs and pass directly into the aorta.

122
Q

What is number 1?

A

Umbilical arteries

123
Q

What is number 2?

124
Q

What is number 3?

A

Umbilical vein

125
Q

What is number 4?

A

Ductus venosus

126
Q

What is number 5?

A

Foramen ovale

127
Q

What is number 6?

A

Ductus arteriosus

128
Q

What can you say about the oxygen level at number 7?

A

Highest O2

129
Q

What is number 1?

A

Pulmnary Trunk

130
Q

What is number 2?

A

Ductus Arteriosus

131
Q

What is number 3?

132
Q

What is number 1?

A

Caudal Vena Cava

133
Q

What is number 2?

A

Cranial Vena Cava

134
Q

What is number 3?

A

Foramen Ovale

135
Q

What can be seen in the image?

A

Opened valve of the Foramen Ovale

136
Q

Changes at birth:

Lungs inflate resulting in decreased pulmonary resistance & increased pulmonary blood flow.

What happens?

A

Venous return to the left atrium increases causing the functional closure of the foramen ovale

(presure in the left atrium holds thin flap of endocardium [valve of the forame ovale] tightly against opening of foramen ovale)

137
Q

Changes at birth:

Increased [O2] causes smooth muscle contraction in the wall of __________, resulting in their functional closure?

A

Umbilical arteries

Umbilical vein & ductus venosus

Ductus arteriosus

138
Q

What happens to fetal circulatory sturcturs that have not adult function?

A

Gradually replaced with Connective Tissue.

139
Q

What happens to the pre-bladder portions of the umbilical arteries?

A

Typically regress to form the round ligaments of the urinary bladder, but may remian patent supplying the cranial vesical arteries.

140
Q

What happens to the post-bladder (between the bladder and umbilicus) portions of the umbilical arteries?

A

Usually regress beyond recognition.

141
Q

The umbilical vein becomes?

A

round ligament of the liver

a fibrous cord that courses within the falciform ligament from the umbilicus to the liver

142
Q

The Ductus venosus becomes?

A

ligamentum venosusm

a fibrous cord

143
Q

The Ductus arteriosus becomes?

A

ligamentum arteriosum

144
Q

The Foramen ovale becomes?

A

fibroses to become the Fossa ovalis

some individulas it may not seal off, but this is not generally pathological because intra-atrial pressure on the left side keeps it physically closed.

145
Q

What is this fetal structure and what does it change to after birth, at number 1?

A

Fetal: Umbilical arteries

After Birth: Round ligament of urinary bladder

146
Q

What is this fetal structure and what does it change to after birth, at number 2?

A

After Birth: Obliterated in adult

147
Q

What is this fetal structure and what does it change to after birth, at number 3?

A

Fetal: Umbilical vein

After Birth: Round ligament of liver

148
Q

What is this fetal structure and what does it change to after birth, at number 4?

A

Fetal: Ductus venosus

After Birth: Ligamentum venosum

149
Q

What is this fetal structure and what does it change to after birth, at number 5?

A

Fetal: Forament ovale
