DEVELOPMENT OF THE

VENOUS SYSTEM WHAT IS THE VENOUS

SYSTEM?

It is combined by 3 main groups

of veins that are:

Yolk veins

Umbilical veins
Cardinal veins

 UMBILICAL VEINS
They originate in the chorionic villi and
transport oxygenated blood to the embryo.

They pass on either side of the liver,

disappearing the proximal segment of both
umbilical veins, so that the left umbilical vein
is the only one that carries blood from the
VENAS VITELINAS placenta to the liver.

take blood from the yolk sac to the venous sinus.

These veins form a plexus around the duodenum

and pass through the septum transversum

THEY HAVE 3 SEGMENTS:

1. The one who passes through the heart

2. The one that passes through the liver
3. and through the duodenum

By increasing the placental circulation a direct

cardiac segment communication is established between the left
liver segment umbilical vein and the right hepato-cardiac
duct: the venous duct (Allows the blood not to
surround the duodenum
pass through the liver
After birth, the left umbilical vein and Anterior and posterior veins: they join and form
the common, shorter cardinal veins.
venous duct are obliterated, forming:

The round ligament of the liver

The venous ligament

CARDINAL VEINS
The cardinal veins form an anastomosis, connection
between veins or arteries. along with the Cuvier duct.

CUVIER DUCT: Common cardinal vein

Fourth week: the cardinal veins constitute a

They receive blood from the embryo’s body.
symmetrical system
They form the main venous drainage system of
Fifth or seventh week: many other veins are formed:
the embryo and are composed of:

Subcardinal veins: they drain blood mainly from

Anterior cardinal veins: receive blood from the
the kidneys.
cephalic portion of the embryo
Sacral-cardinal veins: drain the lower extremities
Posterior cardinal veins: drain the rest of the
body.
 Supra-cardinal veins: drain blood from the body wall
through the intercostal veins, assuming the function of the
posterior cardinal veins.

Left anterior cardinal vein: it forms the jugular veins.

Cephalic short circuit: form brachiocephalic vein.

Right anterior cardinal vein: forms the upper part of the

vena cava.

Right common cardinal vein: forms the lower part of the

superior vena cava.

The coronary venous sinus is also formed and the atrial sinus is
reduced.

A characteristic of the development of the

vena cava system is the appearance of
anastomosis between left and right, so that
the blood on the left is channeled to the
right side.
