B4-046 CV Embryology Flashcards
I think these cards make more sense if the first 20ish are done in order
happy studying :)
septation of the chambers
- septum primum grows toward endocardial cushions, narrowing
ostium primum
septation of the chambers
2) ostium secundum forms in […]
septum primum
septation of the chambers
3) septum secondum develops on right side of […]
septum primum
ostium secondum maintains R to L shunt
septation of the chambers
4) septum secundum expands and covers most of
ostium secundum
residual foramen is foramen ovale
septation of the chambers
5) remaining portion of septum primum forms one-way valve of
foramen ovale
septation of the chambers
6) septum primum closes against septum secundum sealing the […] after birth
foramen ovale
due to increased LA pressure and decreased RA pressure
what allows the foramen ovale to close shortly after birth?
increased LA pressure
decreased RA pressure
caused by failure of the septum primum and septum secundum to fuse after birth
patent foramen ovale
can lead to paradoxical emboli
venous emboli entering into arterial circulation
patent foramen ovale
ventricle formation
1) muscular interventricular septum forms, the opening is called [..]
interventricular foramen
ventricle formation
2) aorticopulmonary septum rotates and fuses with muscular ventricular septum to form
membranous interventricular septum
closes interventricular foramen
ventricle formation
3) growth of endocardial cushions separates atria from ventricles and contributes to […] and […]
2 thing
- atrial septation
- membranous portion of IV septum
most common congenital cardiac anomaly, usually occurs in membranous septum
ventricular septal defect
outflow tract formation
3 steps
- neural crest cell migration
- truncal and bulbar ridges spiral and fuse to form aorticopulmonary septum
- forms ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
conotruncal abnormalities associated with failure of neural crest cells to migrate
3
- transposition of great arteries
- tetralogy of fallot
- persistent truncus arteriosus
what valves are derived from the endocardial cushions of the outflow tract?
2
aortic, pulmonary
what valves are derived from the fused endocardial cushions of the AV canal?
2
mitral, tricuspid
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
truncus arteriosus
ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
bulbus cordis
smooth parts (outflow tract) of right and left ventricles
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
primitive ventricles
trabeculated part of left and right ventricles
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
primitive atrium
trabeculated part of left and right atria
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
left horn of sinus venosus
coronary sinus
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
right horn of sinus venosus
smooth part of right atrium
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
endocardial cushion
3
- atrial septum
- membranous IV septum
- AV and semilunar valves
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein
SVC
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
posterior cardinal, subcardinal, and supracardinal veins
IVC
this embryonic structure gives rise to what adult structure?
primitive pulmonary vein
smooth part of left atrium
fetal circulation
blood entering the fetus through the umbilical vein is conducted via […] into IVC
ductus venosus
bypasses hepatic circulation
fetal circulation
most of the highly oxygenated blood reaching the heart via the IVC is directed through the […] into the left atrium
foramen ovale
fetal circulation
deoxygenated blood from the SVC passes through the RA -> RV -> pulmonary artery -> […] -> descending aorta
ductus arteriosus
shunt due to high fetal pulmonary artery resistance
right to left shunt congenital diseases
3
- persistent ductus arteriosus
- transposition of great arteries
- tetralogy of fallot
- early cyanosis “blue babies”
- diagnosed prenatally or shortly after birth
- require urgent surgical treatment
right to left shunt defects
- truncus arteriosus fails to divide into pulmonary trunk and aorta
- due to failure of aorticopulmonary septum formation
persistent truncus arteriosus
