Embryology 2 (cardio) Flashcards
Two methods blood vessels are developed by
angiogenesis
vasculogenesis
angiogenesis
growth of blood vessels from pre-existing blood vessels
vasculogenesis
new formation of a primitive vascular network
The formation of the aortic sac is an extension of the
trunkus arteriosus
The first arteries to appear in the embryo are the
right and left primitive aortae
each primitive aorta has a ….. part and a …… part
ventral
dorsal
After the fusion of two endocardial tubes - the two ventral aorta fuse to become the
aortic sac
aortic braches arise from the
aortic sac
pharyngeal arches (future neck) develop in weeks
4 and 5
….. pairs of aortic arches develop from ……..
6
pharyngeal arch arteries
All aortic arches terminate at the
dorsal aorta
Fate of arch 1 and 2
disappear quickly
remnant of 1st forms part of the maxillary artery
Fate of arch 3
internal carotid artery and
common carotids
(gets called the carotid arch)
Fate of arch 4
right = right subclavian
left = aortic arch
Fate of arch 5
nothing
Fate of arch 6
right = right pulmonary artery
left= left pulmonary artery and ductus arterioles
ductus arteriosus is obliterated in months 1 to 3 and becomes the
ligamentum arteriosum
Great artery anomalies
aberrant subclavian artery
double aortic arch
patent ductus arteriosus
patent ductus arteriosus
it fails to close after birth
difficulties breathing and eventually congestive heart failure
Coarctation of aorta
aorta is narrow where the ligament arteriosus should be
in the embryo - the vitelline arteries supply the
yolk sac
in adults the vitelline arteries represent the
celiac artery (foregut)
superior mesenteric artery (midgut)
inferior mesenteric artery (handgun)
Fate of umbilical arteries
proximal portion
distal portion
proximal - internal iliac and superior vesicle beaches
distal - degenerates and form umbilical arteries
Vitelline veins carry blood from the ……. to the ……
yolk sac
sinus venous
