Cardiovascular Anatomy (part I) Flashcards
in what region does the heart develop in? in what week
the cephalic region in the third week
The heart develops from what germinal layer
Mesoderm
Angioblastic tissue coalesce to form what
the right and left endocardial tubes
the right and left endocardial tubes will fuse to form what
primitive heart tube
The primitive heart tube folds on itself and develops what
three dilations- 1) atrial 2) ventricular 3) bulbus cordis
The proximal end of the heart tube is formed by what
sinus venosus
the distal end of the heart tube is formed by what
truncus arteriosus
The atrial dilation is divided by what in what week
divided by septum primum in the fifth week
A hole appears in the upper part of the septum primum. what is that hole
ostium secundum
a second hole appears in the upper part of the septum primum called what
septum secundum
the septum secundum remains incomplete inferiorly and is known as what
the limbus of the fossa ovalis
the ventricular dilation is divided by a septum which goes upward toward what
endocardial cushions
The truncus arteriosus is divided into what two separate tubes in the 7th and 8th weeks
aortic and pulmonary
There is a connection called the ductus arteriosus in the fetus that allows for what
oxygenated blood to be shunted from the left pulmonary artery to the arch of the aorta
The ductus arteriosus closes shortly after birth to for what
the ligamentum arteriosum
What are a few congenital abnormalities that may occur to a fetus (5)
Ventricular septal defect Atrial septal defect Fallots tetralogy Patent foramen ovale Persistent ductus arteriosus
what is the most common congenital heart disease
Ventricular septal defect
What is the most common Atrial septal defect
ostium secundum defect
What is the most common congenital cyanotic heart disease
Fallot’s Tetralogy
What does Fallot’s Tetralogy consist of
Pulmonary stenosis
ventricular septal defect
right ventricular hypertrophy
over-riding (dextroposition) of the aorta
Cyanosis is due to the mixing of arterial blood with deoxygenated blood and occurs in what type of shunt
Right to left
What are some acyanotic diseases
atrial septal Defect, ventricular septal Defect and persistent Ductus arteriosus
the atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and persistent ductus arteriosus are what directional shunt
left to right shunts
the persistent ductus arteriosus results from what
failure of the ductus arteriosus to close after birth
where are the 4 surfaces markings of the heart
3rd and 6th right costal cartilage
2nd left costal cartilage
5th left intercostal space
how far are the 4 surface marking away from the sternal edge
1 finger width away except in the 5th left intercostal space which is 7-9 cm from the midsternal line
the right heart border is made up of what part of the heart
the right atrium
the inferior heart order is made up of what part of the heart
right ventricle
the left heart border is made up of what what part of the heart
the left ventricle and left auricle of left atrium
