genetics

chromosomes

53
Q

what is the name of the disease that has 4 cardiac defects

A

tetralogy of fallot

54
Q

what are the 4 cardiac defects for the teratology of fallot

A

pulmonary stenosis

ventricular septal defect (VSD)

dextroposition of aorta

right ventricular hypertrophy

55
Q

what two causes lead to the transposition of the great vessels

A

failure of the aorticopulmonary septum to spiral

defective migration of neural crest cells

56
Q

what are neural crest cells

A

cells that are pinched of from the ectoderm during the formation of the neural tube, these then form complex structures often related to the nervous system

57
Q

what causes the teratology of fallot

A

Unequal division of the conus arteriosus (cone shaped structure that the pulmonary trunk forms out of) due to anterior displacement of aorticopulmonary septum

58
Q

what is vasculogenesis

A

the NEW formation of a primitive vascular network

59
Q

what is angiogenesis

A

defined as the growth of new vessels from pre-existing blood vessels

60
Q

when do the pharyngeal arches develop

A

during week 4 and 5

61
Q

what do the pharyngeal arches become

A

the neck

62
Q

what forms around the pharyngeal arches

A

the 6 aortic arches on either side

63
Q

what is the fate of arches 1 and 2

A

disappear early

1st arch remnants forms maxillary artery (side of the face)

64
Q

what is the fate of the 3rd arch

A

it becomes the start of the internal carotid artery

65
Q

what is the fate of the 4th RIGHT arch

A

it forms the right subclavian

66
Q

what is the fate of the 4th LEFT arch

A

the distal part of the aortic arch

67
Q

what is the fate of the 5th arch

A

forms incompletely then regresses

forms nothing

68
Q

what is the fate of the 6th RIGHT arch

A

it become the proximal (closer to centre) part of the right pulmonary artery

69
Q

what is the fate of the 6th LEFT arch

A

it becomes the left pulmonary artery

and the ductus arteriosus

70
Q

what is the ductus arteriosus

A

a normal blood vessel that connects two major arteries — the aorta and the pulmonary artery

71
Q

what does the ductus arteriosum become - when

A

it closes and becomes the ligamentum arteriousum after 1- 3 months

72
Q

what is the most common form of great artery defects

A

defects because there regression of arteries where there shouldn’t

or some arteries that should regress but don’t

73
Q

what occurs to from the aberrant subclavian artery defect

A

the right subclavian forms on the left side of the aortic arch

it has to cross the midline behind the trachea and oesophagus - leading to constriction of these organs - no clinical symptoms

74
Q

what occurs in the formation of the double aortic arch

A

an abnormal right aortic arch is also formed, leads to the formation of a vascular ring around the trachea and oesophagus - difficulty breathing and swallowing

75
Q

what is PDA ( patent ductus arteriosus)

A

when the ductus arteriosus fails to close after birth and regress to form ligament atreriosum - uncorrected leads to hear failure when older

76
Q

coarctation of the aorta

A

the aorta is narrow - often proximal or distal to the ductus arteriosum ( liganetum arteriousum)

77
Q

what do the vitelline arteries supply

A

the yolk sack

78
Q

what do the vitelline arteries become in adult hood

A

the arteries in the foregut, midgut and hindgut

79
Q

what is the fate of umbilical arteries before birth

A

paired branches of the dorsal aorta to the placenta

80
Q

after birth what is the fate of the umbilical arteries

A

the proximal portion becomes the vessels to the bladder and become the internal iliac (terminal branch in the pelvis)

81
Q

what is the function of the vitelline veins

A

carrying blood from the yolk sac to the sinus venosum

the vena cava - IVC and SVC by anastomosis (connection between tubes)

85
Q

what are some venous abnormalities (4)

A

double IVC

absence of IVC

left SVC

double SVC

86
Q

A

ductus venosus
oval foramen
ductus arteriosus

88
Q

what is the function of the ductus venosus

A

to shunt left umbilical vein blood flow directly to the IVC - allows O2 blood from the placenta to bypass the liver

89

A

by tissue proliferation and adhesion of the septal structures
