Cardiovascular System Flashcards
Where is the cardiovascular system derived from?
Mesoderm (middle germ layer)
Splachnopleura, by lateral plates
In what order is the heart created?
Blood islets in cephalic portion of embryo
Two endocardial tubes, migrates caudally
Tubes fuses forming primitive heart tube
Primitive heart tube forms into 5 chambers
Heart loop formation
Partitioning of the heart
Describe the heart looping
Primary heart tube grows, the pericardial sac doesn’t, forcing the heart tube to loop
Normal distribution of the heart chambers occurs
What are the five chambers created by the primitive heart tube?
Arterial trunk (aorta+pulmonary artery) Heart bulbs (right ventricle) Ventricle (left ventricle) Atrium (front parts of L+R atria) Venous sinus (posterior part of R atria, SAN and coronary sinus)
Describe the partitioning of the heart
Endocardial cushions grows inwards forming a trio-ventricular canal, fuses to become intermediate septum dividing atria+ventricle
Formation of atrioventricular valves
Mitral valve
Bicuspid
Between LEFT atria and ventricle
Tricuspid valve
Between RIGHT atria and ventricle
Primary foramen
Primary interatrial septum grows ventrally leaving the primary foramen
Secondary foramen
Secondary interatrial septum grows dorsally leaving secondary foramen and closing primary foramen
Foramen oval
Primary and secondary foramen runs parallel leaving foramen ovale
Remains open until after birth
Interventricular septum/foramen
Wall between ventricles, with foramen allowing blood to pass between the ventricles
Spiroid septum
Closes interventricular foramen, closes communication between ventricles
Embryonic network
Primitive aorta and cardiac veins
Vitelline network
Vitelline arteries and veins
Gives rise to arteries (digestive, celiac, mesentric)
After birth
What are the 5 aortic arches in the embryonic network giving rise to?
1+2- maxillary artery
3- carotid system
4- left=aorta right= subclavian artery
5- pulmonary artery
Umbilical network
Iliac arteries
Vesicular arteries (urinary bladder)
Forms round ligament of urinary bladder
Cardinal/cardiac veins
Vena cava
Azygous vein
Renal vein
Ovarian/testicle veins
Vitteline veins
Caudal vena cava
Liver sinusids
Umbilical vein forms
Round ligament of the liver
Port vein
Blood circulation of fetus
Oxygenated blood from mother via placenta in umbilical VEINS
through liver draining in to portal vein and mixes with deoxygenated blood
Vena cava to R atrium-60% to L atrium via foramen ovale-L ventricle through mitral valve- aorta- rest of organism
Umbellical ARTERIES collect deoxygenated blood and back to placenta/mother
Ductus arteriosus
Via ductus arteriosus blood goes to aorta since lungs are collapsed in fetus=too high resistance
Closes after birth forming arterial ligament (shut off by increased pressure when lungs inflate)
What modulation occur after birth?
Lungs inflate increases pressure causing the closing of ductus arteriosus, absorbs blood from pulmonary artery
Embryonic circulation stops
CO2 increases causing contraction of inspiratory muscles
Fusion of interatrial septum due to high speed of blood
Patent ductus arteriosus
Still communication between pulmonary artery and aorta
Mixing oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
Persistant 4th aortic arch
Pinches esophagus
Leading to megaesophagus
Mediastinum
Space between lungs where heart is situated (medial)
Cranial, medial and caudal part
Tetralogy of fallot
Pulmonary stenosis
Ventricular septal defect
R ventricular hypertrophy
Overriding aorta
Where do you perform ascultation of heart?
3-6th rib, 7th in dogs/cats
Cardiac notch
