Percentage of congenital heart defects w/ unknown cause
85%
Percentage of heart defects have genetic basis
10%
Down syndrome is assoc. w/ congenital heart defects in ___ percentage of cases
50%
Percentage of congenital heart defects caused by teratogens
5% of cases
What kind of drug is assoc. w/ heart defects
Lithium
Maternal diseases that affect heart formation
Diabetes and German measles
How long does embryo obtain nourishment via simple diffusion
Through 2nd week
First organ system to develop
Cardiovascular system formed primarily by extraembryonic and intraembryonic mesoderm
Mesenchymal cells
. Primary CT cells in extraembryonic and intraembryonic mesoderm form clumps
Blood islands
. Clumps in mesoderm
. Coalesce to form primitive blood vessels lined w/ endothelial cells and filled w/ primitive blood cells
. smooth muscle and CT of blood. Vessels form later from same mesoderm
Primitive blood vessels connect the embryo to vessels in the ____
Yolk sac (Vitelline vessels) and the placenta (umbilical vessels)
Blood flows out to embryo proper in ____ that fuse caudally to form ___
. Paired dorsal aortae
. Single dorsal aorta
Cardinal veins
. Carries blood back from embryo proper
Heart development begins as paired ______
Cardiogenic cords in the intraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm in the cardiogenic area
Cardiogenic area
. Originally lies cranial to oropharyngeal membrane
. Comes to lie in area of future thoracic cavity when embryo undergoes folding
Cardiogenic cords develop lumens and become ____
Paired R and L endothelial heart tubes
Heart tubes
. Formed only of endothelium, but cardiac muscle and CT layer develop later from surrounding mesoderm
. Non-cellular layer of cardiac jelly lies immediately external to the endothelium
. Mucopolysaccharide-rich layer is later invaded by endothelial cells forming endocardium cushion tissue that helped form heart valves
. Tubes fuse together to form a single heart tube
Single heart tube
. Connected to embryonic vessels and vessels in the umbilical cord and yolk sac
. Heart tube elongates and develops various dilutions and constrictions
