Q

Apoptosis occurs in the _____ _______ causing an opening: the foramen secundum.

A

Apoptosis occurs in the septum primum causing an opening: the foramen secundum.

16
Q

are formed from invagination & then dehiscence of myocardium to form valve & tensor apparatus.

A

True AV valves

17
Q

valves are formed by ingrowth from the truncal wall.

A

The semilunar valves

18
Q

What are the two biggest obstacles for the vascular system?

A

The need to bypass developing lungs.

Increased demand from proliferating tissues.

19
Q

Oxygenated blood is supplied to the embryo via the?

A

umbilical veins

20
Q

serves as the main collecting chamber for blood in the developing heart.

A

The sinus venosus

21
Q

Blood pumped from the heart exits through the aortic arches before flowing through the paired

A

Dorsal aortae

22
Q

Tissues are primarily supplied via efferent

A

Efferent segmental arteries

23
Q

The dorsal aortae end in the umbilical arteries, which return mixed blood to the

A

Placenta for reoxygenation

24
Q

The _____ veins (anterior, posterior and common) drain blood from developing tissues.

A

Cardinal veins

25
Q

The deoxygenated blood is mixed in the _____ ______ and recirculated.

A

Mixed in the sinus venosus and recirculated.

26
Q

Supply the yolk sac

Fuse and form the mesenteric arteries

  • coeliac artery; supplies foregut derivatives
  • superior mesenteric artery; supplies midgut derivatives
  • inferior mesenteric artery; supplies hindgut derivatives
A

Vitelline arteries

27
Q

Inferior vena cava

Superior mesenteric vein

Hepatic vein

A

Vitelline veins

28
Q

•Cord is formed by the week

A

5

29
Q

The umbilical cord normally contains

A

two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein.

30
Q

Umbilical arteries/veins are embedded within a loose, proteoglycan-rich matrix -

A

Wharton’s jelly

31
Q

What are the three shunts in fetal circulation?

A
  1. Ductus arteriosus
  2. Foramen ovale
  3. Ductus venosus
32
Q

Allows deoxygenated blood to flow from the pulmonary artery into the aorta and through it to the body.

Protects the lungs against circulatory overload.

Allows the right ventricle to strengthen.

A

Ductus arteriosus

33
Q

The hole located in the septum between the atria. Allows highly oxygenated blood to shunt from the right atrium to the left atrium.

A

Foramen ovale

34
Q

The foramen ovale and the ductus arteriosus are functional only…

A

The foramen ovale and the ductus arteriosus are functional only before birth. At or soon after birth, they normally close and become nonfunctional.

35
Q

A fetal blood vessel– connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava

Blood flow is regulated via sphincter

Carries mostly highly oxygenated blood

A

Ductus Venosus

36
Q

Placental blood is ___% saturated w/ O2.

Returns to the fetus via …

The umbilical vein enters the body through the umbilical ring and travels along the anterior abdominal wall to the liver.

About 1/2 the blood it carries passes into …

The other 1/2 of the blood enters the …

A

Placental blood is 80% saturated w/ O2

Returns to the fetus via the single umbilical vein •The umbilical vein enters the body through the umbilical ring and travels along the anterior abdominal wall to the liver.

About 1/2 the blood it carries passes into the liver. •The other 1/2 of the blood enters the ductus venosus which bypasses the liver.

37
Q

The ductus venosus joins the

A

Inferior vena cava

There, the oxygenated blood from the placenta is mixed with the deoxygenated blood from the lower parts of the body.

38
Q

The initial inflation of the lungs causes important changes in the circulatory system:

A

Reduces the resistance to blood flow through the lungs

Results in increased blood flow from the pulmonary arteries

Consequently, an increased amount of blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle and into the pulmonary arteries

Less blood flows through the foramen ovale to the left atrium.

An increased volume of blood returns from the lungs through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium, which increases the pressure in the left atrium.

The increased left atrial pressure and decreased right atrial pressure (due to pulmonary resistance) forces blood against the septum primum.

Causing the foramen ovale to close.

39
Q

Occlusion of the placental circulation causes

A

an immediate drop in blood pressure.
