B4.046 - Cardiovascular Embryology Prework 2 Flashcards
when does atrial septation happen
weeks 4-7
when does ventricular septation happen
weeks 4-7
identify what each of these structures turns into
orange - pulm. artery and aorta
dark orange - valves of aorta and pulm a.
red - right ventricle
pink - left ventricle
purple - both atria
how does the endocardial cushion form
The myocardium deposits a unique extracellular matrix between the endocardium and itself
Endocardial cells in a certain region undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation
Mesenchymal cells (migrating endocardial cushion cells) aid in formation of the atrioventricular canal
what regio does endocardium derived cushion tissue form in
atrioventricular region and the outflow tract region
the outflow tract region is also populated by what
invading neural crest cells
fusion of opposing cushion tissues forms what
2 atrioventricular canals, and the outlets of both ventricles, the aorta and pulmonary trunk
the conotruncal cushions contribute to what structure
membranous portion of the interventricular septum
describe the heart at day 30
- atrial pertitioning just beginning to happen
- primary interventricular foramen undivided
- outflow tract (bulbus cordis/truncus arteriosus) undivided
- proximal portion of bulbus cordis becomes trabeculated and forms the right ventricle
- atrioventricular canal undivided
describe the septum primum
grows down from common atrium roof towards the endocardial cushions in the atrioventricular canal
what is the formaen (ostium) primum
connects the right and left atrium
identify the 2 structures pointed out here
top - foramen secundum
bottom - foramen premum
what happens in the 5th week to the septum primum
programmed cell death creates new openings in the septum primum near the superior edge, called the foramen secundum
what happens to the endocardial cushions in the 5th week
grow along septum primum and close foramen primum
what happesn to the septum secundum in the 5th week of life
it forms to the right of teh septum primum
it grows down and fuses with an intermediate septum by the end of teh 6th week, but a foramen ovale persists throughout embryonic development
what happens to the septum secundum in the 6th week of development
it grows down and fuses with an intermediate septum but a foramen ovale persists throughout embryonic development
what is the function of the foramen ovale, in the septum secundum and foramen secundum in teh septum primum
it allows the blood to flow from right atrum to left atrium, but not left to right
what happens in the 6th week of development
the septum primum meets and fuses with the septum intermedium
the foramen secundum is obliterated and the right and left atria are now separated.
Blood flows through the foramen ovale when its valve is open, but not when its closed
during the 5th week of development what happens when the medial walls of the expanding ventricles become apposed
it formes the muscular interventricular septum
