Cardiopulmonary Embryology Flashcards
the embryonic heart forms from
mesoderm
when does the embryonic heart tube form
third week
truncus arteriosus becomes
proximal aorta, pulmonary trunk
bulbus cordis becomes
conus arteriosus (RV), aortic vestibule (LV), trabeculated right ventricle
primitive ventricle becomes
trabeculated left ventricle
primitive atrium becomes
trabeculated right and left atria
sinus venosus becomes
smooth right atrium, coronary sinus
how does the ventricular region of the heart tube move during looping?
ventrally, caudally, and to the right
how does the atrial region of the heart tube move during looping?
dorsally, cranially, and to the left
when is the basic circulatory plan set up
3.5 weeks
vitelline veins
carry blood from yolk sac
umbilical veins
carry blood from placenta
cardinal veins
carry blood from embryo
how are great vessels formed?
from degeneration of aortic arches
truncus arteriosus
primitive outflow tract, becomes aorta and pulmonary trunk
when does septation occur
between 27-37 days
sinus venarum is formed from
parts of sinus venosus
smooth left atrium is formed from
proximal parts of pulmonary veins
when does the septum primum appear
end of the 4th week
atrial septal defect
occurs if foramen ovale is too large or if septum secundum doesn’t grow enough
septation of atrioventricular canal
proliferating endocardial cells on dorsal and ventral walls grow towards each other and then fuse and form a canal
