A

separate craniocaudally in the area of the kidneys

51
Q

52
Q

Inferior to the separation in the area of the kidneys, what does the right supracardinal vein become? left supracardinal vein?

A
  • right = IVC

- left = degenerates

53
Q

The hepatic segment of inferior vena cava is derived from what?

A

right vitelline vein

54
Q

The prerenal segment of the inferior vena cava is derived from what?

A

right subcardinal vein

55
Q

The subcardinal-supracardinal anastomoses makes what segment of the inferior vena cava?

A

renal segment

56
Q

The right supracardinal vein forms what inferior vena cava segment?

A

postrenal segment

57
Q

Where might the IVC be discontinuous in in IVC anomalies?

A

in abdomen or in live ( both are uncommon)

58
Q

What is the venous return in a discontinuous IVC?

A
  • diverts venous return through azygous system

- hepatic veins may drain directly to right atrium

59
Q

What causes a double SVC?

A

due to a persistent left anterior cardinal vein and common cardinal vein

60
Q

What does a double SVC drain?

A

usually drains to right atrium via coronary sinus

61
Q

What causes a left SVC?

A

due to a persistent left anterior cardinal vein and degeneration of right

62
Q

Where does a left SVC drain?

A

usually drains to right atrium via coronary sinus

63
Q

What does the umbilical vein carry?

A

carries oxygen rich and nutrient rich blood from placenta

64
Q

What does the ductus venosus allow?

A

allows approximately half of this blood to bypass the liver into the IVC

65
Q

Where does the other half of the blood from ductus venosus flow through?

A

through liver sinusoids and enters IVC via hepatic veins

66
Q

What does the IVC contain in fetal circulation?

A
  • nutrient rich and oxygen rich blood contributed indirectly by umbilical vein
  • typical venous return from abdomen, pelvic and lower extremities
67
Q

Through what does most blood in IVC pass from right atrium to left atrium?

A

foramen ovale

68
Q

Whats the importance of having a small amount of blood to pass to the right ventricle and then through the pulmonary trunk?

A

allows right ventricle to develop while having some work to do

69
Q

Which ventricle is thicker during fetal development?

A

the wall of the right ventricle

- due to pulmonary vascular resistance in utero

70
Q

What is the function of the 10% of blood in the pulmonary trunk which goes to the lungs?

A

to supply oxygen to the lungs

71
Q

What does the 90% of blood in the pulmonary trunk passing through the ductus arteriosus supply?

A

shunts blood into the descending aorta for distribution to the fetus

72
Q

What is the circulation pattern in the fetus from left atrium?

A

left atrium => left ventricle => ascending aorta

73
Q

What is of high value to the fetus from the placenta?

A

blood to heart, head, neck and upper extremities

74
Q

What adds blood to the descending aorta?

A

ductus arteriosus

75
Q

What is of medium value to the fetus from the placenta?

A

blood to abdomen, pelvis, lower extremities

76
Q

In neonatal circulation, what happens to the umbilical vein?

A

remains patent for some time, months

77
Q

What does the umbilical vein become in neonatal circulation?

A

becomes the ligamentum teres (or round ligament of the liver)

78
Q

What does the ductus venosus become? why?

A

becomes the ligamentum venosum

- closes as no blood is flowing through the umbilical vein
- blood pressure in IVC and right atrium decreases because of this change
79
Q

What happens when lungs start to function?

A
  • pulmonary vascular resistance decreases
  • pulmonary blood flow increases
  • BP in L atrium increases above R atrium
  • Increased L atrial pressure closes foramen ovale
    • septum primum and secundum fuses ~3months
    • adult remnant = fossa ovalis
80
Q

What happens to the lungs with reduced pulmonary vascular resistance?

A

right ventricle atrophies

81
Q

What happens to the left ventricle with increased systemic vascular resistance?

A

hypertrophies

82
Q

What happens to blood flow in initially in the ductus arteriosus in noenatal circulation? after 96 hours of birth?

A
  • blood flow initially reverses

- ductus arteriosus closes completely within 96hrs

83
Q

What does the ductus arteriosum become?

A

ligamentum arteriosum

84
Q

What are the umbilical arteries visible as in neonatal circulation?

A

visible as the obliterated umbilical arteries (or medial umbilical ligaments)
- located in medial umbilical folds of the adults

85
Q

What is a patent ductus arteriosus a result of?

A

associated with maternal rubella infection during pregnancy

86
Q

What is associated with a patent ductus arteriosus?

A

associated with hypoxia and low birth weight

- aortic blood shunts to pulmonary trunk

87
Q

What is Aortic coarctation?

A

constriction of the aorta along a segment of varying length; distal to the origin of left subclavian artery

88
Q

What is postductal coarctation?

A

constriction occurs just distal to the ductus arteriosus

- permits development of a collateral circulation during fetal development to supply inferior regions of body

89
Q

What is a preductal coarctation?

A

constriction occurs just proximal to thee ductus arteriosus

- fetal circulation to inferior regions is dependent on ductus arteriosus
