Study Notes
Angiogenesis and Vasculogenesis
- Angiogenesis: formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones through budding and branching.
- Vasculogenesis: formation of major blood vessels through the assembly of angioblasts derived from mesoderm.
Development of the Arterial System
- Arteries arise from two primary sources: pharyngeal arch arteries and dorsal aorta.
- Aortic arches supply arteries to the head and neck; dorsal aorta supplies the rest of the body.
Pharyngeal Arch Arteries
- The first arteries to appear are the primitive aortae, originally continuous with primitive heart tubes.
- Primitive aorta consists of:
- Ventral aorta (ventral to foregut).
- Dorsal aorta (dorsal to the gut).
- Arched portion connecting both (forms the first aortic arch).
Development of Aortic Arch Arteries
- Six pairs of aortic arch arteries develop sequentially from the aortic sac, corresponding to the pharyngeal arches.
- The fifth arch is either absent or becomes obliterated.
- Aortic sac contributes a branch to each newly developing aortic arch.
Formation of Major Blood Vessels
- Blood vessels originate from mesenchymal cells influenced by angiogenic factors like VEGF.
- Dorsal aorta branches into:
- Dorsolateral branches for limbs and intercostal arteries.
- Lateral splanchnic branches for various organs (phrenic, renal, gonadal).
- Ventral splanchnic branches for vitelline and umbilical arteries.
Development of the Venous System
- Major primitive veins (vitelline, umbilical, common cardinal) appear around the 5th week of gestation.
- Common cardinal veins are formed by anterior and posterior cardinal veins uniting.
- Visceral veins include:
- Vitelline veins (from yolk sac).
- Umbilical veins (from placenta).
- Somatic veins consist of anterior and posterior cardinal veins.
Fetal Circulation
- Fetal blood is oxygenated by the placenta, not the lungs.
- Lungs remain collapsed in utero, leading to higher resistance to blood flow.
- Maternal and fetal blood do not mix directly; a placental barrier facilitates nutrient exchange.
Fetal Shunts
- Ductus venosus: shunts blood from umbilical vein to inferior vena cava, bypassing the liver.
- Foramen ovale: allows blood flow between the right and left atria, bypassing pulmonary circulation.
- Ductus arteriosus: connects pulmonary trunk to descending aorta, also bypassing the lungs.
Circulatory Changes at Birth
- Post-birth, shunts close due to shifts in pressure and oxygen tension.
- Umbilical vein and ductus venosus closure reduces flow to the right atrium.
- Lung expansion reduces pulmonary resistance, increasing blood flow to the lungs.
- Closure of foramen ovale occurs due to increased left atrial pressure.
Anatomical Folds of the Anterior Abdominal Wall
- Median umbilical fold: formed by the median umbilical ligament (urachus remnant).
- Medial umbilical folds: paired, formed by medial umbilical ligaments.
- Lateral umbilical folds: paired, formed by the inferior epigastric vessels.
Summary of Learning Outcomes
- Understand sequential formation of blood vessels and various systemic changes in embryonic development.
- Explain the significance of fetal and postnatal circulation and anatomical changes at birth.
