10.24.16 Embryology of the Heart Flashcards
The cardiovascular system begins to develop at the end of the ___.
3rd week
The primordial heart starts to beat at the beginning of the ___.
4th week
What develops into two heart tubes that join to form the primordial vascular system?
Proliferating mesenchymal cells derived from the splanchnic mesoderm
What are the three layers of heart cells?
- Endocardium
- Myocardium
- Epicardium
What are the 5 chambers of the heart tube (cranio-caudal order)?
- Truncus arteriosus
- Bulbus cordis
- Primitive ventricle
- Primitive atrium
- Sinus venosus
Which chamber of the heart contributes to the pulmonary trunk and aorta?
Truncus arteriosus
Which chamber of the heart contributes to the right and left auricles?
Primitive atrium
Which chamber of the heart contributes to the coronary sinus and part of the right atrium?
Sinus venosus
Which chamber of the heart contributes to the smooth part of the right and left ventricles?
Bulbis cordis
Which chamber of the heart contributes to the rough part of the the right and left ventricles?
Primitive ventricle
What cause the “S” shaped lopping of the heart?
As the heart grows, it bends to the right, which moves the primitive atrium and ventricle into roughly correct anatomical position
The right horn of the sinus venosus gives the ___.
Sinus venarum (smooth part of right atrium)
The left horn of the sinus venosus gives the ___.
Coronary sinus
How is the atrioventricular canal formed?
Two endocardial cushions grow and fuse to form the AV septum. This divides the canal into right AV (tricuspid) and left AV (bicuspid) canals.
What is the crescent membrane that grows down from the wall of the atrium toward the endocardial cushions?
Septum primum
What is the opening that allows blood flow from the right atrium to the left atrium?
Ostium primum
