Cardiovascular Anatomy Flashcards
What germinal layer does the heart develop from?
Mesoderm
What region does the heart develop in?
Cephalic region
What structure is a coalescence of angioblastic tissue that forms first in heart development
Endocardial tubes
When the endocardial tubes fuse, what do they form?
The primitive heart tube
When the heart tube forms on its self, what dilations form?
Atrial, ventricular, bulbis cordis
After the primitive heart tube forms, what forms at the proximal end?
Sinus venosus
After the primitive heart tube forms, what forms at the distal end?
Truncus arteriosus
What divides the atrial dilation in the 5th week?
Septum primum
What hole appears in the upper part of the septum primum?
Ostium secondum
What appears to the right of the septum primum?
Septum secondum
The ventricular septum forms upwards towards what structure?
Endocardial cushions
The truncus arteriosus divides into what? When does this happen?
Aortic and pulmonary tubes, 7th and 8th week
When the truncus arteriosus folds, what position does the pulmonary artery lie in initially?
Anterior
What is the connection between the left pulmonary artery and arch of the aorta?

What is the most common congenital anomaly that can occur during heart formation?
VSD
What is the most common atrial septal defect?
Ostium secondum defect
If the ductus arteriosus remains open, what is it called?
