Great Vessel Development Flashcards
what do intersegmental arteries arise from?
vasculogenesis
what are the cervical intersegmental arteries united by longitudinally?
vertebral artery
what happens to the roots of the 1-6 cervical intersegmental arteries?
they are loss
what does the 7th intersegmental artery on the left form?
the left subclavian artery
what are the thoracic intersegmental arteries united by?
the internal thoracic artery
what happens to the intersegmental arteries that are united by the internal thoracic artery?
they become the intercostal arteries
what is the aortic sac?
an expansion at the distal most portion on the truncus arteriosis
What happens to the 3rd AA on both sides?
it will become the common carotid artery and the proximal portion of the internal carotid artery
where does the external carotid artery come from?
it branches off of the 3rd AA
where does the distal part of the internal carotid come from?
the dorsal aorta
what happens to the left 4th AA?
it will form part of the aortic arch in the newborn
what are the parts of the aortic arch?
the 1st part is formed by the aortic sac, the 2nd part is formed by the 4th AA, the 3rd and 4th parts are formed from the dorsal aorta (proximal and distal to the 7th intersegmental artery
what happens to the right 4th AA?
it will form the proximal part of the right subclavian artery
what all forms the right subclavian artery?
the right 7th intersegmental artery forms the distal portion, the right 4th AA forms the proximal portion, and the dorsal aorta forms the rest of the right subclavian artery
what happens to the right 6th AA?
there is regression of the distal part- and there is loss of connection to the distal aorta
what is the position of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve?
it becomes hooked around the right subclavian artery
what happens to the left 6th AA?
the connection to the dorsal aorta is retained and it becomes the ductus arteriosus
what is the position of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve?
it will be hooked around the ductus arteriosus- aka the future ligamentum arteriosum
what happens to the dorsal aorta between the 3rd and 4th AAs?
it is loss
what happens to the dorsal aorta on the right after the 7th intersegmental artery?
it is loss all the way up to the junction between the left dorsal aorta
