5 - Development of the heart Flashcards
What mesoderm does the heart develop from
Cardiogenic mesoderm of lateral plate
How does the heart structure develop
Blood islands - hemangioblasts (blood and blood vessels)
Angiogenic cells clusters for the right and left endocardial tubes at day 20
What are the endocardial tubes
Dorsal aorta, outflow tract
Vitello-umbilical vein and inflow tract
What day do the endocardial tubes fuse into the primitive heart tube
21
What forms the primitive myocardium
Mesoderm from foregut forms the external layer
What day does the heart beat on
22
What divides the atria from primitive ventricle
Atrioventricular suclus
What does the primitive ventricle become
Expands to become the left ventricle
What does the interventricular suclus divide
Primitive ventricle from bulbus cordis
What day does heart looping occur
22-24 days
What is dextrocardia
Anomaly where the primitive heart tube folds to the left (situs invertus)
On what day does the septum fform AV canal
Day 28
How does the septum form the AV canal
2 swellings of mesenchymal tissue appear from walls of the canal (endocardial cushions)
The cushoins grow and fuse together to divide canal into R and L
What is septum primum and when does it develop
Day 28
Divides R and L atrium
What is ostium premum
Osteium (opening) formed by free edge of septum primum
