Development of Great Vessels Flashcards
Where is the aortic sac?
Expansion at distal truncus arteriosus
What arteries arise from the aortic sac?
Aortic Arches (AA)
What do the aortic arches connect?
Aortic sac to the Dorsal Aorta
How many pairs of aortic arches are there?
6 pairs
Through what processes are aortic arches formed?
Vasculogenesis and Angiogenesis
What 3 changes are made to achieve the adult vessel pattern?
- Hypertrophy of some (AA 3, 4, 6)
- Addition of new vessels
- Loss of some vessels
