Q

What is a morula

A
  • from latin word for mulberry

Q

spotting may happen on what day?

why is this clinically relevant?

A

14-15 day, Woman may not know she is pregnant until “2nd missed period”

  • This is clinically important because important developmental stages occur by this time.

Q

know difference between precordal plate and prochoradal plate

A

Prechordal plate - area between prochordal plate and notochord ( also helps induce primary migration cells)

Prochordal plate - orophraryngeal membrane.

  • AVE is located in the orophraryngeal membrane and induces migrating cells (primary)

“a small area immediately rostral to the cephalic tip of the notochord where ectoderm and endoderm are in contact; when turned under the growing head, it forms the buccopharyngeal membrane.”

the first cells become

A

the Outflow tract

71
Q

During cell migration after ingressing:

-middle cells become

A

the Ventricle

72
Q

During cell migration after ingressing:

-most caudal cells become

A

The atrium

73
Q

what do these migrating cells become as a whole?

A

the heart tube which eventually becomes the heart

The atria are the ends of the heart tube,

The ventricles are medial to that

The outflow tract is in the middle of the heart tube

74
Q

Differentiation in these cells.

What is going inside of them and what affects them as they migrate?

A

Probably hoc genes and the retinoic acid gradients they migrate through.

75
Q

What happens to the migrating cells destined to be heart cells after migrate?

A

Migrating cells become the horshoe area that surrounds the region where the oropharyngeal membrane breaks down.

76
Q

What type of cells will become blood cells?

When is this happening?

A

Pockets of extraembryonic mesodermal cells

there will also be some in that will become the umbilical chord and eventually some inside the embryo , as well.

This is happening on the 20,21,22,23rd days of gestation

77
Q

What happens within a couple of days of the emergence of blood cells

A

Within a couple of days, some of the cells forming vessels begin to contract

78
Q

angiogenic cell clusters form ______

where are these located?

A

a tube (blood vessels)

-located in a position in the mesechyme that will be associated with the endoderm

79
Q

the space above where the heart is gonna develop is called ________

How does this get to its position in a developed embryo?

A

the pericardial sac

cephalocaudal folding

80
Q

All septums that divide the atria

A

are considered to be in the right atrium

81
Q

Explain prenatal circulation within the heart

A

as blood comes into the right ventricle, there is high pressure because the lungs have high resistance.

This makes the blood travel from the right atrium to the left atrium through the foramen ovale

82
Q

Describe what happens to the circulation after the baby is born

A

the pressure in the left side exceeds that in the right and functionally closes the foramen ovale

83
Q

why do the atria have a smooth wall?

what process is involved?

A

The embryonic atrium become the auricles in the adult heart

  • they are little pieces that hang of teh top of the adult atrium
  • The tissue from the nearby veins are absorbed by the growing atria.
  • Intussusception leads to absorption of veins into the atria
84
Q

What veins come into the embryonic heart?

A
  • veins from the yolk sac
  • veins that come from the umbilical chord
  • Veins that come back from the body (head and body regions)
85
Q

on the right side, the sinus venosus becomes incoorporated into the ____

A

right atrium

86
Q

on the left side, sinus venosus becomes the ____

A

coronary sinus and the oblique vein of the left atrium

87
Q

what is intussuception?

A

When you have a tube and for some reason you can shove the proximal end of the tube into the one behind it. (also referred to as telescoping)

When this happens the parts that overlap can be expanded, thereby incorporating it into the wall of the the structure absorbing it (the atrium wall, in this case)

88
Q

look up what veins come into left side of heart and what veins come to the right side of heart

A

4 Pulmonary veins enters the left ventricle

vena cava enters the right ventricle

89
Q

how do the 4 openings from the pulmonary wall into the left atrium form?

A

intussusception: branched wall is absorbed into the atrium and the resulting 4 openings are formed from the branches of a single vessel that was absorbed.

90
Q

does intussusception happen in both atria?

A

intussusception happens in both atria, but is more dramatic in the left one

91
Q

what is the process of separating the atria from the ventricles called?

A

atrioventricular separation

92
Q

what is the endocardial cushing

does this form before or after atrial separation?

does it happen before or after ventricular separation?

A
  • It is in between the 2 epithelial layers of the heart
  • tissue that closes in on the primitive atrioventricular canal forming a dumbell or H that will eventually separate it into the left and right atrioventricular canals.
  • this happens prior to formation of the ventricular septum, but after the atrial septums have formed.
93
Q

the opening between the embryonic atrium and the ventricle called?

A

primitive atrioventricular canal

94
Q

what are adherons

A
  • molecules that are released by the myocardial cells which induce endocardial cells to migrate and populate the endocardial cushing.
  • Have signal molecules ( it is uncertain which ones, so don’t memorize them!!)
95
Q

The primitive interventricular septum is what?

what does it become and how does it become that?

A
  • a bump in the bottom of the embryonic ventricle is the beginning of the interventricular septum.
  • What will become the 2 ventricles is an out-pouching of the tube.
  • This area becomes stabilized while the sides of the ventricles begin to bulge out.
  • On the outiside of this area, there are molecules that are very sticky. As the walls grow out, the stickiness causes them to stick together and you whind with a area that becomes the septum as the side baloon out. The parts of the “baloons” that are stuck together form the interventricular septum. (the muscular part)
96
Q

Besides the formation via aposition of adjacent walls, what else is involved in the formation of the ventricular septum?

A

some mitotic divisions takes place as well

97
Q

The interventricular septum has 2 parts.

what are they called?

A

The muscular and a membranous septum

98
Q

neural crest cells from the hind brain migrate to __

what do they help form?

A

area of the outflow tract of the heart and they help to separate it and form the aorticopulmonary septum AKA the spiral septum.

99
Q

Describe the membranous part of the ventricular septum

A
  • Goes through a clockwise location
  • There are ridges on either side,
  • Two ridges come together and form a spiraling septum.
  • cells know how to take up origin in the right place in the conotruncal (Bulbus cordis) ridge. As they grow out towards lumen, they are on diff places and wind up making a septum that spins.

-

100
Q

left truncoconal ridge and right truncoconal ridge

A

ridges from where the spiral septum forms

***doublecheck

101
Q

how do the atrioventriclar valves form?

A
  • TBX genes involved
  • As ventricluar walls get thicker, there will be some cell death that will form trabeculae.
  • At the same time and under same control there is a laying down of collagen fibers on the top edges of the ventricle. This also happens partially along the lumen of the ventricle.
  • Dense areas have been carved out and the connective tissue connect to structure called papillary muscle. These strings, called chordi tendinae, are like a parachute and prevent valve leaflets from prolapsing into the atria as a result of the force of contraction of the ventricles.The stabilize valves.
102
Q

what are trabeculae

A
  • Trabeculae are 3D structures that are present in wall of heart. Areas of cell death.
103
Q

What are the names of the aortae leaving the heart?

what about the ones by the vertebrae?

A

What comes out of the heart is aortic sac or ventral aorta.

the part by the vertabrae are called the dorsal aortae

104
Q

How many braches of aortae form?

A

There are 5 aortic arches (1,2,3,4 and 6th), but 5th is vestigeal and probably does not develop in humans.

105
Q

describe the chronology of how the aortic arches develop.

A

they develop in sequence: by time 3rd is forming, the 1st is disappearing, so they are not all present at the same time.

106
Q

what does the Aortic Arch I become?

A

it becomes the Maxillary artery on both sides

Q

Vitelline Veins bring blood from

A

from yolk sac and eventually from intestine

114
Q

Umbilical veins bring blood from

A

from placenta

115
Q

Cardinal veins bring blood from

A

from body (head or trunk)

116
Q

Subcardinal veins bring blood from

A

mesonephric Kidneys plus the gonads (which take up a large percentage in the abdominal cavity.)

117
Q

supracardinal veins bring blood from:

they become_____

A
  • Body wall
  • either of two veins in the mammalian embryo and various adult lower vertebrate forms located in the thoracic and abdominal regions dorsolateral to and on either side of the descending aorta and giving rise to the azygous and hemiazygous veins and a part of the inferior vena cava
  • become the azygous and the hemiazygous system
118
Q

What does Dr. Desseso want us to remember about the Vena Cava?

A
  • is complex
  • some veins drop out
  • Don’t know that 7 parts of the inferior vena cava
  • In the lab, supracardinal veins become the azygos and the hemiazygous system (supposed to find)
  • Seen a cadaver that had no inferior vena cava (went through azygous system)
119
Q

umbilical arteries return blood to the placenta by way of the

A

iliac veins

120
Q

Why doesn’t the blood pressure in the baby drop at birth?`

what is a clinical correlate related birth

A

The blood in the placenta is pumped into the embryo

-Dont immediately tie off umbilical chord at birth or will have a problem with hypovolemia

121
Q

6th aortic arch gives rise to ductus arteriosus. What does this structure do before birth and what happens after birth.

what does it become?

how does it know how to close?

A
  • before birth it shunts oxygenated blood to the aorta.
  • after birth, it needs to close. It becomes the ligamentum arteriosus.
  • The prostaglandins coming from placenta begin to drop, and oxygen tension tends to drop. This causes that piece of smooth muscle in the ductus arteriosum to constrict and functionally close.in 24-48 hours. and permanently close (fibrous material) within about 6 weeks.
122
Q

What are 6 mechanisms that drive cardiovascular development and an example of each

A

Ed Clark (university of rochester)

  • Cellular migration - spiral septum neural crest cells
  • Extracellular matrix - issues with interatrial septa
  • Hemodynamics - how blood travels through heart
  • Targeted growth- Muscular septum
  • Cell death- has to occur in some places for septa
  • Visceral Situs- whether heart looped to the right or not
123
Q

Congenitall malformations incidence

A

Overall (Major and minor): 7 %

Heart Malformations:

  • Among liveborn: 1%
  • Among Stillbirth: 10%
124
Q

Extracellular ECM defects

A
  • Osteum primum septal defect-
    • Wide open foramen ovale or perforations
  • Probe-patent foramen ovale (not malformation, just an anotomical difference)
    • Foramen Ovale not sealed
125
Q

Spiral septum

A

joins with the muscular part of the interventricular septum

126
Q

Membranous Ventricular septal defect

A
  • spiral septum does not form correctly and so interventricular septum is not completely closed
  • 85-90% of these close spontaneously during the first week of life
  • May be considered a developmental delay
  • Sometimes is a small hole that is not functionally significant
  • Related to the cell migration??
127
Q

Malformations related to abnormal blood flow:

Coarctation of aorta

A
  • when smooth muscles collapse around ductus arteriosus, the muscles cells involved sometimes spill over to the aorta. They respond the same as the ductus arteriosus and constrict a part of the aorta.
  • Preductal and postductal (before or after ductus arteriosus)
    • Postductal can be fixed surgically quite easily

-Goes from large lumen to small lumen to large lumen again

128
Q

Malformations related to abnormal blood flow:

How does the body adjust when the is coarctation of aorta?

A

Anastomotic channels shunt blood through another path

129
Q

Malformations related to abnormal blood flow:

Atresia of valves

give 2 examples

A

valves not present (both pulmonary and aortic)

  • Pulmonary valve atresia
  • Aortic Valve Atresia
130
Q

Malformations related to abnormal blood flow:

Stenosis of valves

give example of one

A
  • Small valves

- ie. Aortic Valvular Stenosis

131
Q

aberrant cellular migration defects

A
  • persistent truncus arteriosus: interventricular septum does not fully form. Blood mixes
  • transposition of great vessels: Spiral septum forms in wrong direction. Blood never mixes. normally incompatible with life except when accompanied by an interventricular septal defect. Surgery can fix this at birth
  • Tetralogy of falllot: spiral septum divides aortic pulmonary trunk unevenly leading to the formation of large overriding opening to the aorta and one that is stenotic for the pulmonary artery.
    - Accompanied by interventricular ventral septum
    - Because of energy required to force blood into the pulmonary artery you end up with hypertrophy of teh right ventricle.
    - Radiography looks like Coeur en Sabot (wooden shoe)
    - babies tend to crouch because they have difficulty getting blood to lungs and this position compresses the femoral vessels, ameliorates the dyspnea, increasing the left ventricular pressure. TOGETHER THIS REDUCES THE RIGHT TO LEFT SHUNT.
132
Q

How can patients planning to have children reduce the risk of TOF

A
  • Lower incidence of TOF by taking multivitamin in periconceptual times
  • it is associted with decreased amount of VEGF
133
Q

Malformation caused by Aberrant Cell death

A

Muscular ventricular septal defect

134
Q

Visceral Situs causes what?

A

Dextrocardia

  • Heart loops in the wrong direction: right sided heart (Left looping)
    - Normal looping is Right looping and it leads to left sided heart
  • May or may not be a problem, depending on what else hasn’t looped at the same time.
135
Q

What are the 3 most common Cardiac Malformations

A

Ventricular Septal defect (39%)

Atrial septal defect (10%)

Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (8%)
