Exam 2 Embryology and Anatomy Flashcards
The aortic sac in the embryo gives rise to…
the brachiocephalic artery and the right side of the aortic arch in the adult.
The first and second aortic arches in the embryo…
regress and are not present in the adult.
The third aortic arches in the embryo become…
the common carotid arteries and proximal internal carotid arteries in the adult.
The dorsal aorta is lost between… On the right, the dorsal aorta is lost…
aortic arches 3 and 4. distal to the 7th intersegmental artery
The left fourth aortic arch in the embryo becomes…
part of the aortic arch in the adult.
The right fourth aortic arch in the embryo becomes…
the proximal right subclavian artery in the adult.
The right sixth aortic arch in the embryo becomes…
the right pulmonary artery in the adult.
The left sixth aortic arch in the embryo becomes…
the left pulmonary artery and the ductus arteriosus in the adult.
The right seventh intersegmental artery in the embryo…
becomes the distal right subclavian artery in the adult.
The foramen ovale in the heart of the embryo becomes…
the fossa ovale in the heart of the adult. (located in the right atrium)
The ductus arteriosus between the pulmonary trunk and aorta of the embryo becomes…
ligamentum arteriosum in the adult.
The umbilical vein the embryo becomes…
the round ligament of the liver in the adult.
(passes from the umbilicus to the porta hepatis)
The umbilical arteries in the embryo become…
the abdominal ligaments in the adult.
The ductus venosus in the embryo becomes…
the ligamentum venosus in the adult.
(It passes through the liver from the left branch of the portal vein and attaches to the IVC)
The following teratogens cause which congenital heart defects?
- Lithium
- Alcohol
- Retinoic acid
- Maternal diabetes
- Maternal rubella
- Lithium: Ebstein’s
- Alcohol: VSD
- Reinoic acid: TGA
- Maternal diabetes: TGA, HCM, VSD, CoA (Coarctation of the Aorta)
- Maternal rubella: PDA, PS (pulmonary stenosis), AS (aortic stenosis)
If dextrocardia is present, which orientation of the organs will result in the least amount of complications?
Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis (total reverse order of organs in thorax and abdomen)
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
- What is it?
- Most common type?
- Cause?
- Symptoms?
- Communication between the right and left atria
- Ostium secundum atrial septal defect (80% prevalence)
- Septum secundum is too short to cover forament secundum completely or foramen secundum is too large.
- Many are asymptomatic. Can cause cryptogenic stroke if embolism present in systemic circulation.
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
- What is it?
- Causes?
- Symptoms?
- Persistent communication between right and left ventricles
- It is the MOST common congenital heart disease
- Caused by:
- Deficient development of bulbar ridges
- Failure of dorsal and ventral endocardial cushions to fuse
- Deficient development of interventricular muscular septum.
- LOUD MURMUR at birth or shortly after
- if left untreated, Eisenmenger’s syndrome (cyanosis) can occur
Atrioventricular Canal (AVC)
- What is it?
- Causes
- Correlations
- Open canal between right and left atria and right and left ventricles. Atria and ventricles separated by common valve.
- Results from faulty endocardial cushion development
- Correlated with trisomy, more specifically trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome)
Truncus Arteriosus (TA)
- What is it?
- Causes?
- Correlations?
- Symptoms?
- Single arterial trunk arises from heart and supplies systemic, pulmonary, and coronary circulations
- Caused by abnormal migration of neural crest cells - failure of the truncal ridges and aorticopulmonary septum to develop normally
- There is always a VSD present with TA
- Correlated with DiGeorge syndrome (CATCH22)
- Cardiac abnormality
- Abnormal facies
- Thymic aplasia
- Cleft palate
- Hypoparathyroidism
- Symptoms include cyanosis, congestive heart failure, murmr, and pulmonary hypertension early on.
