Lecture 23: Great Vessel Development Flashcards
Where do aortic arches arise from?
Aortic sac
-distal most portion of truncus arteriosus
Where are aortic arches formed?
Within the pharyngeal arches by vasculogenesis and angiogenesis
Where do the dorsal aorta fuse?
What direction does it continue in?
T4 axial level
-continues caudally
What divides into aorta and pulmonary arteries?
Truncus arteriosus
What are intersegmental arteries?
Set of arteries arising from the embryonic dorsal aorta
-each artery providing blood supply to one somite and its derivatives
Cervical intersegmental arteries are united by longitudinal anastomoses and give rise to what artery?
Vertebral artery
The 7th cervical intersegmental artery on both sides give rise to what artery?
Subclavian Artery
- left side: all of it
- right side: part of it
What do the anastomoses between thoracic intersegmental arteries give rise to?
Internal Thoracic Artery
What do the thoracic intersegmental arteries themselves give rise to?
Anterior and Posterior intercostal arteries
What does the 5th lumbar intersegmental artery give rise to?
Common Iliac Artery
What does the 3rd aortic arch give rise to?
Common Carotid: both external and internal
What does the left 4th aortic arch give rise to?
Forms part of aortic arch
-connected to left ventricle via spiral septum of outflow tract
What does the right 4th aortic arch give rise to?
Brachiocephalic trunk and part of right subclavian artery
What does the 6th aortic arch give rise to?
Pulmonary arteries
Why do the right and left recurrentl laryngeal nerves differ?
Right aortic arch VI loses connection with dorsal aorta and its recurrent laryngeal nerve is hooked around future right subclavian artery
Left aortic arch VI has ductus arteriosus that becomes ligamentum arteriosum, which hooks left recurrent laryngeal
After birth, the distal end of umbilical arteries is obliterated and becomes what?
Medial umbilical ligaments
What branches of the umbilical artery and supplies the superior portion of the bladder?
Superior vesicular arteries
How does oxygen rich blood bypass most of the liver and enter inferior vena cava and right ventricle?
via ductus venosus
What does the ductus venosus eventually become?
Ligamentum venosum
How does blood shift from right atria to left atria?
via foramen ovale
