Q

What is the process of the formation of the aortic sac?

A

1) First arteries to appear in the embryo are the left and right primitive aortae
2) Each primitive aorta has a ventral part (ventral aorta) and a dorsal part (dorsal aorta)
3) After the fusion on the two endothelial tubes the two ventral aortae partially fuse to form aortic sac
4) Aortic branches arise from the aortic sac

Q

What is the process of the development of the pharyngael arch arteries and aortic branches?

A

1) Pharyngeal arches (future neck) develop during 4th and 5th week
2) Each arch receives its own nerve and artery (pharyngael arteries)
3) Pharyngael arteries communicate with aortic branches (now called aortic arches)
4) 6 aortic arches are formed on each side, all in communication with the dorsal aortae

Q

What is aberrant subclavian artery?

A

With regression of the right aortic arch 4 and the right dorsal aorta the right subclavian artery has an abnormal origin on the left side, meaning to supply blood to the right arm this forces the right subclavian artery to cross the midline behind the trachea and oesophagus which may constrict these organs
