Cardiovascular Embryology Flashcards
WHere do the majority of birth defects?
Congenital heart defects
What is more anterior, the pulmonary trunk or aorta?
the pulmonary trunk
Where do cardiac progenitor cells lie?
in the epiblast
How do cardiac progenitor cells in the epiblast migrate?
cranially to caudially through the primitive streak to become splachnic mesoderm
angiongenic cell clusters coalesce to form right and left (blank)
endocardial tubes
How does the embyro fold?
cephalocaudally and laterally
Endocardia tubes fuse via (blank)
programmed cell death
What are the four layers of the heart tube?
1) endocardium
2) cardiac jelly (thick acellular material made by the myocardium)
3) myocardium
4) epicardium
What is a thick acellular material made by the myocardium?
cardiac jelly
What makes the epicardium of the heart tube?
Mesothelium migrates in from septum transversum
What does the epicardium of the heart tube form?
coronary arteries
What will form on either side of the notochord?
endocardial tubes
Through what type of folding do the 2 endocardial tubes fuse?
embryonic folding
What are the layers of the heart tube from inside out?
endocardium (endothelium)-> subendothelial space (CT space)-> cardiac jelly->myocardium->epicardium
What allows the endocardial tube to be flexible?
cardiac jelly
What is outside the subendothelial space with invagination into subendothial space?
Cardiac jelly
(blank) veins drain the yolk sac.
vitelline
(blank) veins carry oxygen from placenta
umbilical
(blank) veins drain body wall and head.
common cardinal
The inflow and outflow tracts are connected to the heart tube before any (blank) takes place.
cardiac folding
What 3 types of veins go to the in flow tract of the heart?
umbilical, common cardinal, and vitelline
Around (blank) days, a series of expansions, constrictions and folds occur in the cardiac tube which begins the creation of the cardiac loop.
23
During the formation of the cardiac loop, what four dilations occur in the heart tube?
1) sinus venosus
2) primitive atrium
3) primitive ventricle
4) bulbus cordis
What day is the cardiac loop complete?
28
During the formation of the cardiac loop, what remains fixed in place?
arterial and venous ends anatomically
What does the distal part of the bulbus turn into?
the truncus arteriosus
What does cardiac loop formation create?
normal position of heart chambers and changes a single circuit system into asymmetrical system
When does the heart tube start beating?
23 days
The development of the heart develops from what direction?
inflow to outflow tract direction?
When does the remodeling of the sinous venosus occur?
day 24
What happens on day 24 to the sinous venosus?
There is a shift to the right of venous return.
1) right vitelline vein-> IVC
2) right anterior cardinal vein-> SVC
3) left sinus horn-> coronary sinus and oblique vein of the left atrium
4) right sinus horn blends into the right posterior wall of the right atrium becoming the sinus venarum
The right vitalline vein turns into what?
IVC
What does the right anterior cardinal vein turn into?
SVC
What does the left sinus horn turn into?
coronary sinus and oblique vein of left atrium
What does the right sinus horn turn into?
sins venarum
What all open into the sinus venarum?
IVC, SVC, and coronary sinus
the (blank) also contains crista terminalis (conducting fiber tract SA node to AV node)
sinus venarum
the pulmonary veins grow into what?
the smooth portion of left atrium
Why is it important that the sinus venarum is smooth?
helps with blood flow
What are found throughout the heart tube and are made of splachnic mesoderm?
endocardial cushions
What are endocardial cushions made out of?
splachnic mesoderm
In the coronal truncal area, the splachnic mesoderm gets an infusion of neural crest cells to create what?
endocardial cushions
Cardiac jelly creates (blank)
endocardial cushions
(blank) play a role in formation of septa and valves
endocardial cushions
endocardial cushions play a role in (blank) defects
cardiac
How is the partition of the primitive atrium formed?
endocardial cushions
Endocardial cushions from above and between the atrium forms what?
the septum primum
Is the septum primum thick or thin?
it is a thin membranous septum
What makes the septum and valves of the heart?
endocardial cushions
The septum primum only allows blood flow in what direction?
right to left
The septum primum has holes called (blank) to maintain he right to left shunt.
Ostium secundum
What is a thick muscular septum that forms to the right of the septum primum?
septum secundum
(blank) forms in septum secundum maintaining the right to left shunt/
foramen ovale
What forms ostium secundum?
programmed cell death
(blank) closes immediately after birth.
foramen ovale
HOw does the foramen ovale close after birth?
FUNCTIONAL CLOSURE
the pressure drop in right atrium due to absence of placental circulation and increase in left atrial pressure due to increases pulmonary venous return.
When is the anatomically closure?
3 months when the septum primum and septum secundum fuse
