CHAPTER 12 Flashcards
Heart development arises from _________.
splanchnic mesoderm
Heart ______ cells migrate to form primary and secondary heart fields.
progenitor
Contributes to forming
the early heart structure,
including the left
ventricle, parts of the
atria, and the outflow
tract
Primary (Blue)
Supports heart growth by
adding cells to the initial
structure, forming the
right ventricle, remaining
atrial parts, and the
inflow tract.
Secondary (red)
The ________ are in most lateral while the _______ are in medial.
• inflow tract (left ventricle and the atria
• outflow tract (conus
arteriosus and truncus
arteriosus)
This instruction guides the lateral plate mesoderm to become precursors of blood and blood vessels.
Wnt signalling pathway
It promotes differentiation
BMP (bone morphogenic protein)
- Further guides cardiogenic mesoderm development.
- Ensures proper heart tissue formation.
FgF8 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 8)
_______ is characterized by the presence of two separate heart primordia.
Cardia bifida
_______ - critical in specifying the posterior cardiac precursor cells into becoming the inflow.
Retinoic Acid (RA)
A common progenitor cell type gives rise to all heart cells, including
•ventricular myocytes
•atrial myocytes
•smooth muscles, endothelial cells,
• epicardium
In heart development, two cell groups transform into heart cells. Certain cells in the ventral splanchnic mesoderm express N-cadherin, forming the pericardial cavity.
Endocardium
Myocardium
The two endocardia eventually fuse, except for the unfused posterior portions.
Vitelline veis
The chamber that receives blood
Atrium
The chamber responsible for pumping blood
Ventricle
In chick embryos, blood entering the _______ and being pumped out through the ______.
lower chamber
aorta
Pulsations ability to contract due to the appearance of the ______ exchange
sodium-calcium
Blood vessels and blood cells are believed to share a common precursor, the ________.
hemangioblast
______ in the splanchnic mesoderm condense into aggregations that are often called blood islands.
Hemangioblasts
Common progenitor blood vessels and blood cells:
•Hematopoietic (blood)
•Endothelial (vascular)
The pathway whereby ventral mesoderm cells differentiate into hemangioblasts appears to be induced by the ______ gene and the notch signaling pathway.
Cdx4
_________ formation is first seen in the wall of the yolk sac, where undifferentiated mesenchyme cells cluster to form blood islands.
Blood vessel
The development of blood vessels occurs in two distinct regions in amniotes:
• Extraembryonic vasculogenesis
• Intraembryonic vasculogenesis
Lumen formation in vessels: •Vacuoles accumulation occurs in ______ (endocytosis)
•Vacuoles merge forming “______”
•Continued fusion leads eventually to the lumen being formed.
lumen cells
megavacuoles
required for the generation of hemangioblasts from the splanchnic mesoderm.
Basic fibroblast growth factor
enable the differentiation of the angioblasts and their multiplication to form endothelial tubes
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs)
