Development Of The Great Vessels Flashcards
Intraembryonic Vasculogenesis happens what day
Day 19
How does the fetal circulation bypass the liver
The O2 rich blood bypasses the liver and flows into the IVC and RA
MOST OF IVC —> LA (through the foramen ovale)
MOST OF SVC —> RV
*ductus venosum
Where do most fetal blood go after RV
90% goes into descending aorta through the Ductus Arteriosus
10% thought the pulmonary a to lungs
LV pumps blood into
Ascending aorta
What keeps the ductus arteriosus open
Prostaglandins
What causes the ductus arteriosus to close
The O2 tension and BF changes + prostaglandins decrease = cause SM contractions in the patents arteriosus
What can you get if you have an unclosed patent ductus arteriosus
And increased risk for what
Pulmonary congestion and congestive heart failure from LV hypertrophy
Increased risk for maternal rubella infection
To for PDA
Idomethacin or surgery
Coarctation
When the descending aorta thickens in wall and gets constricted and Ductus arteriosus remains open(this can happen before the DA or after the DA attaches)
*more common in Turner’s syndrome
Interrupted aortic arch is most common in what
DiGeorges Syndrome
How many aortic arches are there
6
5th one never truly forms
Which aortic arches hypertrophy
3,4,6
Which vessels are added to the aortic arches
External carotid, distal part of pulmonary artery
Initial growth of dorsal aorta is how
Paired which fused and grows caudally from T4
How is the aorta and pulmonary a formed
The truncus arteriosus is divided by the aorticopulmonary septum
Intersegmental arteries
And how many are there
From parasail mesoderm and they connect to the dorsal aorta
There are 7 C, 12 T, 5 L
Cervical Dorsal Intersegmental Arteries
7
All connected by longitudinal anastomoses
1-6 drop out from anastomoses and become VERTEBRAL As
7th remains on left and becomes LEFT SUBCLAVIAN A and a portion on the RIGHT subclavian A on the right
Thoracic Dorsal Intersegmental Arteries
12
Anastomoses between the inferior and superior IA become INTERNAL THORACIC As
The IA themselves become INTERCOSTAL As
Lumbar Dorsal Intersegmental Arteries
5
These anastomoses become EPIGASTRIC VESSELS + ILIAC VESSELS
What happens to the Aortic Arch of 1
Breaks up and reorganizes with AA 2
Becomes MAXILLARY A
What happens to the Aortic Arch of 2
Breaks up and reorganizes with AA1
Becomes STAPEDIAL As
What happens to the Aortic Arch of 3
Also called carotid arch *main feeder to head
Becomes the COMMON CAROTID + PROXIMAL part of INTERNAL CAROTID
Where does the internal carotid come from
The dorsal aorta
