Embryo 4 Flashcards
Vasculogenesis
- formation of new vascular channels by assembly of individual cells precursors called angioblast or hemoangioblast
- from mesoderm
Mesenchyme
embryonic CT
Angiogenesis
development of blood vessels from pre-existing vessels (adults/cancer)
Arteriogenesis
remodeling of existing arteries in response to different pathological/physiological changes
What two cells do angioblasts give rise to?
- Hematopoeitic stem cells
2. Endothelial precursor cells
When does vasculogenesis begin?
end of third week
Where are Hematopoeitic stem cells formed?
AGM
What do blood islands produce?
Plexuses
*channels form within the plexuses, and these channels then enlarge/unite to form arteries and veins
Angioma
- Capillary Hemagioma (nevus vascular): excessive growth of small capillary networks->cherry angiomas (campbell de morgan spots)
- Cavernous Hemagioma: proliferation of large dilated vascular channels
- Hemangioma of infancy: benign tumor; consists of many endothelial cells (due to v asculogenesis; enlarge birth -one year, and then many will regress
Infants with segmental hemangioma should also be evaluated for…
PHACE syndrome
What are the three branches of the fused dorsal aorta?
- Ventral Segmental Arteries
- Lateral Segmental Arteries
- Dorsal Segmental Arteries
What do Ventral Segmental Arteries supply?
splanchnic layer of lateral plate mesoderm and endoderm (ex. IMA, SMA)
What do Lateral Segmental Arteries supply?
intermediate mesoderm derivatives (ex. renal, ovarian, and testicular arteries)
What do Dorsal Segmental Arteries supply?
derivatives of somites; when they come off we call them intersegmental arteries (ex. intercostal and lumbar arteries)
What does the first formed aortic arch supply?
first pharyngeal arch
What forms day 26-32? 32-37?
- rudiments of remaining aortic arches (as 3 forms, 1 degenerates; 4, 2…)
- completion of aortic arches; send a lot of branches to the head
