Development of the Vasculature Flashcards
what is vasculogenesis?
blood vessels forming directly from mesoderm.
where and when to the formation of blood cells occur?
Begins in the yolk sac, week 3
Hemangioblasts differentiate into what 2 cell types?
- Haematopoietic stem cells
- Endothelial Precursor cells
what is angiogenesis?
more common type of blood vessel formation.
what is haematopoiesis?
blood cell production
when does blood cell production in liver occur?
4 weeks
when does blood cell production in bone marrow occur?
10.5 weeks
what aortic arch is absent in human but present in fish?
5
pharyngeal arch 1 and 2
- mostly obliterated
- gives maxillary artery and stapedial artery
pharyngeal arch 3
gives common carotid aa. and 1st parts of Internal carotid aa.
pharyngeal arch 6
- gives branches that form pulmonary arteries and ductus arteriosis
- pulmonary system
pharyngeal arch 4
- gives right subclavian artery and part of aortic arch
- not symmetrical on left and right
5th pharyngeal arch
rudimentary or not present
arches arise form what?
from the aortic sac, the most distal part of the truncus arteriosus
what happens to the right dorsal aorta?
it degenerates
The external carotid arteries come from where?
sprout from the common carotid aa.
what is embryonic vasculature?
venous system more complicated than arterial.
