Cardiovascular System Development Flashcards
▪the islands unite form a horseshoe-shaped
endothelial-lined tube surrounded by
myoblasts.
▪This region is known
cardiogenic region.
1st vessel that is formed
The dorsal aorta
▪Thus the heart becomes a
continous expanded tube
consist of
inner endothelial
lining and outher
myocardial layer.
▪Mesothelial cells migrates
over the heart and form
epicardium
. Truncus arteriosus:
pulmonary trunk and aorta
Bulbus cordis: I
pulmonary trunk and aorta
Primitive ventricle
Forms the ventricles
Primitive atrium:
Forms the atria
Sinus venosus
Forms part of the right
atrium and vena cava
……… situates the primitive heart tube in the thoracic region
Cephalo caudal folding
▪The cephalic portion of the tube
bends
ventrally, caudally, and to
the right
he proximal part of the bulbus cordis forms the
trabeculated portion of the right ventricle
The middle part called the conus cordis will form
outflow tracts of both ventricles.
The distal part of the bulbus, the truncus arteriosus
will form the
aorta and pulmonary artery.
▪Each horn receives blood from
three important veins:
the vitelline vein,
(2) the umbilical vein,
(3) the common cardinal vein.
