Integrated Vascular Anatomy

Pan Vascular Medicine

Abstract

The cardiovascular system and the lymphatics have important functions in health and disease. The cardiovascular system is the first functional organ system in developing embryos. A great number of mutations affecting this system will cause early embryonic abortion (for molecular aspects see Chaps. 2, 3 and 23), showing that nutrition of all tissues is essential as soon as the size of the embryo increases. Only a few tissues remain avascular, such as cartilage, cornea, lens, and cardiac valves, or lose their original vascular supply, such as the hyaloid body. Potent antiangiogenic factors seem to be responsible for this phenomenon. The diseases of the lymphatic system are not as life threatening as those of the cardiovascular system, but the function of the lymphatics should not be neglected [2]. The lymphatics develop in embryos only a considerable time after the blood vessels.
