Q

Why does the recurrent laryngeal n. From vagus appear to arise at 2 different axial levels? (One around aortic arch and one around r. Subclavian)

A

Bc. Heart moves to thorax as embryo grows and carotid lengthen so that subclavian ends up lower now

  • connect from R AA 6 to dorsal aorta lost, R. Recurrent laryngeal now wrapped around r. Subclavian a.
  • ductus arteriosus there, so L. Recurrent laryngeal around aortic arch and L. Art.

Portions of IVC and Azygos system and veins draining BODY WALL

58
Q

How does O2 rich blood bypass the liver? To go to where?

A

Bypass via ductus Venosum

To get to IVC and RA

59
Q

Where will most blood from IVC go thru?

A

Thru foramen ovale to get to LA

60
Q

Where will a small portion of blood entering the IVC and most blood entering thru SVC go to?

A

To RV

61
Q

What percentage o blood flow in the developing fetus goes to lungs?

A

10%

62
Q

What receive blood from the asc. Aorta in the developing fetus? What is the O2 content of this blood?

A

To arteries of heart, head, neck and UEs

-contain highest level of oxygen content

63
Q

What is the relative blood O2 levels present in blood from the RV?

A

Medium oxygen content

Will go to lung or thru ductus arteriosus

64
Q

What is the relative blood O2 levels present in blood from the LEs, portal vein, SVC?

A

Poor oxygen content

65
Q

What happens after birth that affects ductus arteriosus?

A

Changes in Blood O2 tension

  • drop in prostaglandin
  • increase in endothelin (a GF) release from newborn lungs

-stimulates smooth muscle contraction of ductus arteriosus

66
Q

How long does it take for the ductus arteriosus to close?

A

W/in 10-15 hours of birth

67
Q

What happens if there is a Patent ductus arteriosus (8/10,000)?

A

1/3-1/2 of blood will enter pulmonary a. And will be circulated thru lungs 2-3 times (increases pulmonary resistance) for every one time it enters systemic circulation

=increased workload for LV = LV hypertrophy

-increased pulm. Rest. = pulmonary congestion = congestive Heart failure

68

A

Prostaglandin inhibitors

Or

Surgery

71
Q

What is a Coarctation of the Aorta?

A

Aortic lumen below the origin of the L. Subcl. A. Is NARROWED due to abnormal thickening of aortic wall

72

A

More frequent in Turner’s syndrome

73
Q

What are the 2 types of Aortic Coarctation seen?

A
  1. Post-ductal -not bad

2. Pre-ductal - severe

74
Q

What is a Post-ductal Aortic Coarctation?

A

Narrowing that occurs AFTER the ductus arteriosus

  • allows for collateral circulation to be established thru intercostal arteries and internal thoracic as.
75
Q

What is a Pre-Ductal Aorta Coarctation?

A

Narrowing that occurs BEFORE ductus arteriosus

  • collateral circulation is not well developed
