Cardiovascular Anatomy Flashcards
What embryological layer does the heart develop from in the third week
mesoderm in the cephalic region
The primitive heart tube is formed by these two tubes composed of angioblastic tissue
endocardial
What three dilations are formed from the primitive heart tube folding on itself
atrial, ventricular, and bulbos cordis
the proximal end of the heart tube is formed by the _____ _____ and the distal end is formed by the _____ ____
sinus venosus, truncus arteriosus
Name the connection that allows oxygenated blood in the fetus to travel from the let pulmonary artery to the arch of the aorta
ductus arteriosus
The ductus arteriosus closes shortly after birth forming this
ligamentum arteriosum
Most common congenital heart disease
Ventricular septal defect
What does the most common form of atrial septal defect affect
ostium secundum
what is the most common congenital cyanotic heart disease
fallot’s tetralogy
What conditions make up fallot’s tetralogy
pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect, right ventricular hypertrophy, and over-riding (dextroposition) of the aorta
What type of shunts does cyanosis occur?
right to left shunts
what are the acyanotic congenital hear diseases (D)
atrial septal Deffect, ventricular septal Defect, persistent Ductus arteriorsus (all left to right)
Which congenital disorder results from failure of the ducuts arteriosus to close after birth
persistent ductus arteriosus
What are the two origins of the right atrium
sinus venosus and true atrium
The Rough part (area with pectinate) of the right atrium is derived from what
tRue atrium
The Smooth part of the RA is derived from this
Sinus venosus
What ridge separates the smooth and rough parts of the RA
crista terminalis
What two openings are found in the RA
SVC and IVC
what is the oval depression found in the RA interatrial septum
fossa ovale
the fossa ovalis of the RA is a remnant of this structure in a fetus
fetal foramen ovalis (septum primum)
What is the name of the ridge located above the fossa ovalis
limbus
What is the limbus of the fossa ovalis a remnant of
septum secondum
what percentage of the myocardial venous blood drains into the heart via the coronary sinus in the RA
60-70
Left atrium has how many pulmonary vein openings carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs
4 (same embryological origins as RA)
Name of a large fleshy piece located in the RV that carries a major part of the right bundle branch
septomarginal branch (moderator band)
a smooth funnel-shaped inlet to the opening of the pulmonary valves in the RV
infundibulum
The LV is __x more thick than the RV
