04a: Embryology Flashcards
CVS begins to develop in week (X). (Y) cells migrate through (Z).
X = 3 Y = progenitor heart Z = primitive streak
CVS development: Progenitor heart cells migrate through (X) and into (Y). This forms (Z), the first heart field.
X = primitive streak Y = (splanchnic) lateral plate mesoderm Z = cardiac crescent (cardiogenic region)
The first heart field, aka (X), is (Y)-shaped and forms (rostral/caudal) and (above/below) which key structures?
X = cardiac crescent (or cardiogenic region) Y = crescent
Rostral to neural fold; Above oropharyngeal membrane
During body folding, the (cranial/caudal) portion of first heart field is pulled in (X) direction, to lie below (Y).
Cranial;
X = caudally and ventrally;
Y = foregut
CVS development: It’s during (X) process that R/L sides of first heart field fuse. (Y), key vascular elements (medial/lateral) to first heart field also fuse and form (Z).
X = lateral body folding;
Y = endocardial tubes (L and R)
Within heart field;
Z = primary heart tube
Endocardial heart tubes are immediately surrounded by:
Cardiac jelly
The heart, during formation, is an expanded tube of inner (X) tissue and outer (Y) tissue. The two layers are separated by (Z).
X = endothelial Y = myocardial Z = cardiac jelly
List the sources of cells for developing heart.
- Primary and secondary heart fields
- Cardiac neural (crest) cells
- Proepicardial organ
CVS development: The (X) is formed from migrating cells derived from proepicardial organ, found in region of (Y). The cells migrate and cover the entire (Z).
X = epicardium Y = sinus venosus Z = myocardium
Coronary vessels form from (X) during CVS development.
X = proepicardial sprouts
Cardiac tube takes shape in (X) week, when it undergoes (Y) process and loses symmetry.
X = end of 3rd week Y = dextral looping
Fetal circulation: (X) vessel carries oxygenated blood from (Y) to fetus.
X = umbilical vein Y = placenta
Fetal circulation: most oxygenated blood from placenta flows directly from umbilical (artery/vein) to (X) via which shortcut?
Vein; X = IVC Ductus venosus (in liver)
Fetal circulation: blood travels from IVC to (X) and then most of that blood passes through (Y) into (Z).
X = RA Y = foramen ovale Z = LA
Fetal circulation: Blood from LA primarily came from (X) and then goes to (Y).
X = RA (through foramen ovale) Y = aorta
The ductus arteriosus connects (X) to (Y).
X = pulmonary artery Y = descending aorta
Fetal circulation: The (X) shortcut allows blood from (Y) to bypass fluid-filled and non-functional lungs.
X = ductus arteriosus Y = RV
Heart partitioning: Septa (walls) will form in which space(s)?
- AV canal
- Outflow tract
- Primitive atrium and ventricle
T/F: Events in partitioning of heart happen sequentially.
False - simultaneously
Heart partitioning: development of which structures is critical for AV canal septation?
Endocardial cushions
Heart partitioning: endocardial cushions form in (X) space(s) as expansions of (Y). Which tissue layers are separated from each other?
X = AV canal and outflow tract Y = ECM (cardiac jelly)
Endothelium and myocardium
Heart partitioning: in AV canal, endocardial cushions form from cells derived from (X).
X = endocardium
