Basic cardiac embryology Nov2 M1 Flashcards
% of births with heart anomalies and one important origin of defects
0.7-0.8%
adaptations (shunt) developmental defects
why % of heart defects is greater than 0.7% or 0.8%
- many spontaneous defects abort prenatally
- some defects noticed later in life
2 leading causes of death in neonatal phase (1st month)
- Prematurity
2. Congenital heart disease
what causes congenital cardiac defects (2 categories)
genetic and environmental causes
ex of genetic causes of congenital heart disease
NKX2.5 mutation, Down syndrome, Edwards 18, Tuners, DiGeorge 22.
ex of environmental causes of congenital heart abnormalities
rubella virus, German measles, retinoic acid (vitamin A) disturbances, diabetes
first system formed in embryo
CVS
CVS origin (in the trilaminar embryo)
mesoderm
3 important cell types formed early in embryogenesis (day 14) important for the heart
- cardiogenic mesenchyme
- hemangioblasts
- neural crest cells
3 simultaneous events occuring in heart dev between day 17-22
- neurulation
- somite formation
- vasculogenesis and angiogenesis
time of first heart beat during embryogenesis
day 21
name of shunt in pulm artery during dev + name of remnant after birth
ductus arteriosus
ligamentum arteriosus
what ductus arteriosus does
shunts blood from pulm artery to aorta during embryo
most frequent congenital heart disease
Ventricular septum defect (VSD)
second most frequent congenital heart disease
Patent ductus arteriosus (stays open so venous blood goes to the body, cyanosis at birth)
third most frequent congenital heart disease
atrial septum defect
what structure forms cardiogenic mesenchyme and at what embryonic stage
primitive streak, at trilaminar embryo
what cardiogenic mesenchyme does once created in primitive streak
migrates in front of forming brain region
name of cardiogenic mesenchyme when still in primitive streak
mesenchyme. will say cardiogenic when has migrated
what structure cardiogenic mesenchyme lies on in front of brain + importance
will lie on the endoderm. Endoderm will induce cardiogenic mesenchyme to form heart
what mesenchymal stem cells also form in the primitive streak + importance
hemangioblasts. Most important stem cell forming the CVS
what hemangioblasts can give rise to
angioblasts and hematopoietic stem cells
how coelum forms
mesoderm forms somites and coelum forms in the somites
why coelum important in CVS embryology
will form the pericardial cavity
earliest shape of coelum and embryonic stage
U shape during trilaminar embryo phase
what cavity formed by the coelum is the most cranial + location
pericardial cavity. will be very close to the cardiogenic mesenchyme
hemangioblasts formed by the primitive streak: where they go (4)
go to extra embryonic tissues (yolk sac and placenta) and embryonic tissues and amnion
first hematopoietic organ of the embryo and 2 important cell types
yolk sac. mesenchyme and hemangioblasta
what anterior endoderm will stimulate other than the cardiogenic mesenchyme
will stimulate intra embryonic hemangioblasts to form endothelial tubes
hemangioblast in mesenchyme (in yolk sac for example): 3 markers at single cell stage
brachyury
Flk-1
endoglin
how hemangioblast develops in mesenchyme (in yolk sac for ex)
form a ball of cells: peripheral layer of angioblast and hematopoietic SCs in middle
marker of angioblasts
Flk-1
markers and charact. of endothelium surrounding angioblasts and hematopoietic SCs in middle
Flk-1, basement membrane, VE-CAD
name of phenomenon in middle of ball surrounded by angioblasts
intravascular hematopoiesis
