34
Where does the ductus venoses develop?
in the liver
35
Where does the ductus venosus shunt blood?
shunts blood from umbilical vein to inferior vena cava
36
What is the the importance of the ductus venosus?

receive the anterior and posterior cardinal veins on each side
39
Where does the common cardinal veins drain?
drains to sinus venosus
40
What do the anterior cardinal veins drain?
drain cranial parts of the embryo
41
What happens in week 8 to the 2 cardinal veins?
an anastomosis forms between the 2 anterior cardinal veins
42
What forms from the anastomoses of the anterior cardinal veins?
left brachiocephalic vein | - left anterior and left common cardinal veins degenerate
43
The right anterior and right common cardinal veins form what?
superior vena cava
44
What do posterior cardinal veins drain?
drain caudal parts of the embryo
45
What do the posterior cardinal veins develop as?
develop as the vessels of the mesonephric kidneys - largely disappear with the degeneration of these kidneys - essentially replaced by subcardinal and supracardinal veins
46
What do posterior cardinal veins form in adults?
arch of azygous vein and common iliac veins
47
What develops first in posterior cardinal veins?
subcardinal veins
48
What do subcardinal veins form part of?
form part of IVC, left renal vein, bith suprarenal veins ad both gonadal veins
49
What develops later in posterior cardinal veins?
supracardinal veins
50
Where do supracardinal veins separate?
separate craniocaudally in the area of the kidneys
51
What do supracardinal veins forrm?
form azygous vein and hemiazygouz vein superior the separation in the area of the kidneys
52
Inferior to the separation in the area of the kidneys, what does the right supracardinal vein become? left supracardinal vein?
- right = IVC | - left = degenerates
53
The hepatic segment of inferior vena cava is derived from what?
right vitelline vein
54
The prerenal segment of the inferior vena cava is derived from what?
right subcardinal vein
55
The subcardinal-supracardinal anastomoses makes what segment of the inferior vena cava?
renal segment
56
The right supracardinal vein forms what inferior vena cava segment?
postrenal segment
57
Where might the IVC be discontinuous in in IVC anomalies?
in abdomen or in live ( both are uncommon)
58
What is the venous return in a discontinuous IVC?
- diverts venous return through azygous system | - hepatic veins may drain directly to right atrium
59
What causes a double SVC?
due to a persistent left anterior cardinal vein and common cardinal vein
60
What does a double SVC drain?
usually drains to right atrium via coronary sinus
61
What causes a left SVC?
due to a persistent left anterior cardinal vein and degeneration of right
62
Where does a left SVC drain?
usually drains to right atrium via coronary sinus
63
What does the umbilical vein carry?
carries oxygen rich and nutrient rich blood from placenta
64
What does the ductus venosus allow?
allows approximately half of this blood to bypass the liver into the IVC
65
Where does the other half of the blood from ductus venosus flow through?
through liver sinusoids and enters IVC via hepatic veins
66
What does the IVC contain in fetal circulation?
- nutrient rich and oxygen rich blood contributed indirectly by umbilical vein - typical venous return from abdomen, pelvic and lower extremities
67
Through what does most blood in IVC pass from right atrium to left atrium?
foramen ovale
68
Whats the importance of having a small amount of blood to pass to the right ventricle and then through the pulmonary trunk?
allows right ventricle to develop while having some work to do
69
Which ventricle is thicker during fetal development?
the wall of the right ventricle | - due to pulmonary vascular resistance in utero
70
What is the function of the 10% of blood in the pulmonary trunk which goes to the lungs?
to supply oxygen to the lungs
71
What does the 90% of blood in the pulmonary trunk passing through the ductus arteriosus supply?
shunts blood into the descending aorta for distribution to the fetus
72
What is the circulation pattern in the fetus from left atrium?
left atrium => left ventricle => ascending aorta
73
What is of high value to the fetus from the placenta?
blood to heart, head, neck and upper extremities
74
What adds blood to the descending aorta?
ductus arteriosus
75
What is of medium value to the fetus from the placenta?
blood to abdomen, pelvis, lower extremities
76
In neonatal circulation, what happens to the umbilical vein?
remains patent for some time, months
77
What does the umbilical vein become in neonatal circulation?
becomes the ligamentum teres (or round ligament of the liver)
78
What does the ductus venosus become? why?
becomes the ligamentum venosum - closes as no blood is flowing through the umbilical vein - blood pressure in IVC and right atrium decreases because of this change
79
What happens when lungs start to function?
- pulmonary vascular resistance decreases - pulmonary blood flow increases - BP in L atrium increases above R atrium - Increased L atrial pressure closes foramen ovale - septum primum and secundum fuses ~3months - adult remnant = fossa ovalis
80
What happens to the lungs with reduced pulmonary vascular resistance?
right ventricle atrophies
81
What happens to the left ventricle with increased systemic vascular resistance?
hypertrophies
82
What happens to blood flow in initially in the ductus arteriosus in noenatal circulation? after 96 hours of birth?
- blood flow initially reverses | - ductus arteriosus closes completely within 96hrs
83
What does the ductus arteriosum become?
ligamentum arteriosum
84
What are the umbilical arteries visible as in neonatal circulation?
visible as the obliterated umbilical arteries (or medial umbilical ligaments) - located in medial umbilical folds of the adults
85
What is a patent ductus arteriosus a result of?
associated with maternal rubella infection during pregnancy
86
What is associated with a patent ductus arteriosus?
associated with hypoxia and low birth weight | - aortic blood shunts to pulmonary trunk
87
What is Aortic coarctation?
constriction of the aorta along a segment of varying length; distal to the origin of left subclavian artery
88
What is postductal coarctation?
constriction occurs just distal to the ductus arteriosus | - permits development of a collateral circulation during fetal development to supply inferior regions of body
89
What is a preductal coarctation?
constriction occurs just proximal to thee ductus arteriosus | - fetal circulation to inferior regions is dependent on ductus arteriosus
