48
Q

At 30 days:

49
Q

At 30 days:

Atrioventricular canal

A

undivided

50
Q

Near end of week four, 4 AV endocardial cushions form on each side of the

A

plus one at the dorsal & the ventral walls of AV canal

51
Q

Partitioning of the original single AV canal to

A

left and right AV canals by the AV endocardial cushions

52
Q

the left and right AV canals contribute to development of the

A

mitral and tricuspid valves

53
Q

the fusion of the superior and inferior AV endocardial cushions provide a

A

“landing area” for the interartial septum

54
Q

Fusion of these cushions results in complete division of the

A

AV canal into a left and right

55
Q

Around end of week 4, a crest of tissue grows from the roof of the common atrium

A

Septum primum

56
Q

Septum primum will extend towards the

A

endocardial cushions in the AV canal

57
Q

Opening below the septum primum & the endocardial cushions is the

A

ostium primum

58
Q

Septum primum develops from the roof of the primordial atrium as a

A

thin, moon-shaped membrane

59
Q

Ostium primum closes

Cell death produces perforations in

A

septum primum which coalesce to form ostium secundum

60
Q

Ostium secundum ensures that there is

A

free blood flow from the right to the left primitive atrium

61
Q

As holes in the septum primum coalesce to form the ostium secundum, a thicker

A

septum secundum develops from the roof of the primordial atrium, slightly to the right of the septum primum

62
Q

Septum secundum grows inferiorly and develops an opening: the

A

foramen ovale (oval foramen)

63
Q

Cranial portion of septum primum

A

degenerates

64
Q

Caudal portion of septum primum forms the

A

valve of foramen ovale

65
Q

After birth, the pressure in the left atrium

A

increases as the blood returns from the lungs.

66
Q

Septum primum is pressed against the

A

septum secundum and adheres to it, permanently closing the foramen ovale and forming the fossa ovalis

67
Q

Fossa ovalis is also known as the

A

oval fossa

68
Q

End of week 4, primitive ventricles begin to

A

expand

69

70
Q

Interventricular foramen is located above the

A

muscular interventricular septum

71
Q

Outgrowth of the inferior endocardial cushion closes the

A

interventricular foramen

72
Q

A

interventricular septum

73
Q

During week 5 neural crest cells migrate into

A

truncus arteriorsus & bulbus cordis

Form truncal ridges & bulbar ridges

74
Q

Ridges undergo a 180o spiraling which results in the formation of a

A

spiral aorticopulmonary septum when the ridges fuse.

75
Q

A

inferiorly to contribute to membranous IV
