This makes the This makes the CVSCVS to be the to be the first system in the body to first system in the body to reach the functional statereach the functional state
The embryonic heartbeat can The embryonic heartbeat can be detected ultrasono-be detected ultrasono-graphically during the graphically during the 55thth weekweek

TYPES: TYPES: Without retropharyngeal component: The DA passes from right pulmonary artery to right arch of aorta. No effect on the trachea & esophagus
With retropharyngeal component: The right arch lies posterior to esophagus. The attachment of DA to distal part of the arch of aorta forms a ring around the trachea & esophagus and may lead to their compression
Double Arch of AortaDouble Arch of Aorta Characterized by a vascular
ring encircling the trachea and esophagus, usually causing compression of both structures.
The degree of compression varies
Usually the right arch is larger and passes posterior to the esophagus
The right common carotid and subclavian arteries arise separately from right arch
