Exam III Flashcards
Where do the hemangioblasts come together and form the primitive heart, blood vessels and blood cells?
Cardiogenic field
Which portions of the endocardial heart tubes make contact with the developing venous system?
The caudal portions
When the foramen primum closes what is it replaced by?
Second foramen (foramen [ostium] secundum)
The septum primum serves as a valve for what structure during atrial partitioning?
What does it do?
Foramen ovale
Prevents return of blood into the right atrium
During the first breaths vascular resistance increases or decreases in the lungs?
Decreases
What assists in the physiological closure of the foramen ovale during the first breaths?
Vascular resistance decreases in the lungs and blood pressure in the pulmonary circulatory system drops.
What is divided into the ascending aorta and the pulmonary trunk by a spiral septum?
Truncus arteriosus
What structure ensures that the blood from the right ventricle flows into the pulmonary trunk and that the blood from the left ventricle flows into the ascending aorta?
Spiral aorto-pulmonary septum
What causes the condition Transposition of the great vessels?
The spiral septum in the truncus arteriosus develops straight instead of spirally and causes deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to flow into the ascending aorta and the highly oxygenated blood from the left ventricle flows into the pulmonary trunk.
What causes megaesophagus?
A persistent right aortic arch.
