  2. Dorsal aorta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_aorta

    The paired dorsal aortae arise from aortic arches that in turn arise from the aortic sac. The primary dorsal aorta is located deep to the lateral plate of mesoderm and move from lateral to medial position with development and eventually will fuse with the other dorsal aorta to form the descending aorta .

  3. Aortic arches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_arches

    They are ventral to the dorsal aorta and arise from the aortic sac. The aortic arches are formed sequentially within the pharyngeal arches and initially appear symmetrical on both sides of the embryo, [1] but then undergo a significant remodelling to form the final asymmetrical structure of the great arteries. [1] [2]

  4. Aorta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aorta

    The ventral aorta carries de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the gills; part of this vessel forms the ascending aorta in tetrapods (the remainder forms the pulmonary artery). A second, dorsal aorta carries oxygenated blood from the gills to the rest of the body and is homologous with the descending aorta of tetrapods. The two aortas are ...

  5. Aortic sac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_sac

    The aortic sac or aortic bulb [1] is a dilated structure in mammalian embryos, lined by endothelial cells and is the most distal part of the truncus arteriosus. [2] It is the primordial vascular channel from which the aortic arches arise (and eventually the dorsal aortae) and is homologous to the ventral aorta of gill-bearing vertebrates.

  6. Abdominal aorta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_aorta

    The abdominal aorta's venous counterpart, the inferior vena cava (IVC), travels parallel to it on its right side. Above the level of the umbilicus, the aorta is somewhat posterior to the IVC, sending the right renal artery travelling behind it. The IVC likewise sends its opposite side counterpart, the left renal vein, crossing in front of the ...

  7. Arterial tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_tree

    It is a portion of the aorta commencing at the upper part of the base of the left ventricle, on a level with the lower border of the third costal cartilage behind the left half of the sternum. Right coronary artery

  8. Notochord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notochord

    The hypochord is a transient structure ventral to the notochord, and is primarily responsible for correct development of the dorsal aorta. [13] Notochord flexion, when the notochord bends to form a part of the developing caudal fin, is a hallmark of an early growth stage of some fish. [14] [15] [better source needed]

  9. Thoracic diaphragm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_diaphragm

    It contains the esophagus, and anterior and posterior vagal trunks, [7] left gastric artery and veins, and lymphatics. [8] aortic hiatus: T12: The aortic hiatus is in the posterior part of the diaphragm, between the left and right crus. It contains the aorta, the thoracic duct and Azygous vein.
