Great Vessel Development Flashcards
What are the major mechanisms by which the vascular plexus expands?
vasculogenesis
angiogenesis
intussuption
vasculogenesis
new vessels
angiogenesis
branching
intussuption
splitting
angiomas
abnormal blood vessels and lymph growth
capillary hemangioma
small capillary network
cavernous hemangioma
venous sinuses
hemangiomas of infancy
benign endothelial cell tumors
What are pharyngeal arches made of?
outgrowths of head and neck mesenchyme
What do pharyngeal arches contain?
cranial nerve and artery – aortic arches
What do aortic arches (AA) arise from?
aortic sac - expansion at distal most portion of truncus arteriosus
What do the aortic arches connect?
aortic sac with dorsal aorta
What are the aortic arches formed by?
angiogenesis and vasculogenesis
What aortic arches hypertrophy?
3, 4, 6
What vessels are added to primitive aortic arch system?
external carotid, distal part of pulmonary artery
What aortic arches are lost?
1, 2 [5 never forms]
What level do paired dorsal aorta fuse?
T4
What divides the aorta and pulmonary artery?
aorticopulmonary septum
How do intersegmental arteries form?
vasculogenesis within mesoderm
How many intersegmental arteries are there in each section?
7 cervical
12 thoracic
5 lumbar
What happens to the 7 cervical intersegmental arteries?
lose roots of 1-6, longitudinal anastamosis becomes vetebral arteries
left 7th intersegmental artery - forms subclavian artery
right 7th intersegmental artery - forms part of subclavian artery with AA IV
What happens to the 12 thoracic intersegmental arteries?
superior/inferior anastamoses fofrm internal thoracic arteries
intersegmental arteries form intercostal arteries
What happens to the 5 lumbar intersegmental arteries?
anastamosis makes epigastric and iliac vessels
What happens to AA I and II?
break up and reorganize
I - maxillary A
II - stapedial A
What happens to AA III?
main feeder to head, forms common carotid and proximal portion of internal carotid
remainder becomes dorsal aorta
sprouts to form external carotid
What happens to AA IV? Left? Right?
hypertrophies
Left - forms part of aortic arch (2nd part)
Right - proximal part of subclavian A
What insures connection of left AA IV to left ventricle?
spiral septum of outflow tract
