Development of the Great Vessels Flashcards
what fetal veins form the commom cardinal v. ?
anterior cardinal v.
posterior cardinal v.
what fetal veins form/drain to the sinus venosus ?
- common cardinal v.
- umbilical v.
- vitelline v.
on what surface of the primordial atrium do the right and left horns of the sinus venosus enter ?
dorsal and inferior
what does the fetal vitelline v. carry
returns poorly oxygenated blood from the yolk sac (umbilical vesicle) to the primordial heart
what does the fetal umbilical v. carry
well-oxygenated blood from mother via chorionic sac to the embryo
what does the fetal common cardinal v carry
returns poorly oxygenated blood from the body of the embryo back to primordial heart
how does the left brachiocephalic v. form in adults
in 8th week R and L anterior cardinal vv. anastomize
-caudal part of the L ant. cardinal v degenerates and whats remaining is the left brachiocephalic v.
how is the superior vena cava formed (SVC)
right anterior cardinal v. + right common cardinal v.
makes sense cuz all venous return by SVC is on R side of heart in adult**
the root of the Azygos is formed by ______ and drains to ______ ?
posterior cardinal v.
SVC on right side
how is the common iliac vv. formed
posterior cardinal v
what do the Left and Right umbilical veins become in the adult
- Right umbilical v degenerates
- Left umbilical v. forms the ductus venosus
in the fetal circulation what is the function of the ductus venosus
connects the umbilical v. to IVC and prevents liver overload
what forms the hepatic portal system ?
Left and Right Vitelline vv. CAUDAL to the liver
makes sense cuz portal v. carries blood from GI tract back to heart*
The inferior vena cava (IVC) is composed of ______ segments that formed from ______ number of fetal vv. ?
4 segments formed from 4 vv.
dont need to know specifics
The vast majority of the azygos v. develops from ?
subcardinal v.
the hemizygous v. develops from ?
subcardinal v.
what is the only part of the azygous v. that does not developr from the subcardinal v ?
Root of the azygous
-formed from the posterior cardinal v.
what do the R and L sinus venosus horns become in the adult ?
- R sinus venosus horn becomes sinus venarum (smooth area) in post. wall of R atrium
- L sinus venosus horn becomes coronary sinus
the adult umbilical v. arises from what fetal v. ?
Left umbilical v.
the right brachiocephalic v. in adults comes from ?
Right anterior cardinal v.
what is the function of pulmonary veins in adults
bring oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs
how do the pulmonary veins form in adults
as outgrowths from the posterior wall of the L atrium
