CV Embryology Flashcards
What does a Acyanotic cardiac anomaly comprise?
No shunt or a left to right shunt
What does a Cyanotic shunt comprise of?
Right to left shunt
What does a no shunt comprise of?
Anomalies or aortic arches or Coartication of the aorta
Disruption of Retinoid signalling produces what type of effect?
AV Canal defect (Due to lack or remodeling of the AV cushions)
A patent foramen ovale is present; leaving a shunt open from the right atrium to the left atrium. This is a failure of closure of what embryological structure?
Foramen Ovale; open due to failure of Septum Secundum to close
Defects with the interventricular septum are due to what structure?
The membranous part of the septum
The interventicullar septum acts as a division for what structures?
Divides L. Atrium and Right Ventricle from each other as well as the ventricles
The membranous part of the interventricular septum is derived from what embryological structures?
Neural Crest Cells and Splanchnic Mesoderm
The muscular part of the interventricular septum is derived from what embryological structure(s)?
Splanchnic Mesoderm
The interventricular septum is formed via fusion of what three embryological structures?
Endocardial cushion, Right Bulbar Ridge, and Left Bulbar Ridge
What mechanism can lead to aortic or pulmonary valve defects?
Disruption of neural crest cells that contribute truncoconal cushions
Umbilical arteries become what in adults?
Medial Umbilical Ligaments
Foramen Ovale: Allows what to occur in the fetus?
Right atrium to pass blood into the left atrium
Oxygen rich blood in the fetus goes to what structures?
HRT, Cornary A. & Head
What is the purpose of the Ductus Venosus in the fetus?
Shunts blood around the liver
What does the ductus venosus become in an adult?
Ligamentum Hemosum
