CVS Embryology 1: Heart Development. Flashcards
When do angiogenic clusters appear?
In the middle of the third week.
What forms angiogenic clusters?
Mesenchymal cells in the splanchnic (vesiral) layer of the mesoderm proliferate and form isolated cell clusters known as angiogenic clusters.
Where are angiogenic clusters first located?
In the lateral side.
Where do angiogenic clusters rapidly spread to?
To the cephalic end.
The angiogenic clusters acquire what?
A lumen.
Angiogenic clusters unite to form what?
A horseshoe-shaped plexus of small blood vessels.
The anterior portion of the angiogenic plexus is called what?
Central portion of cardiogenic area.
The intraembryonic colemic cavity located over the blood vessel plexus later form what?
Pericardial cavity.
After formation of neural tube and brain vesicles CNS grown rapidly in which direction?
The cephalic direction.
What happens when neural tube and brain vesicles CNS grows rapidly in the cephalic direction?
It extends over the cardiogenic area and future pericardial cavity.
The percordial plate and the cardiogenic plate are pulled towards which direction?
Forward.
The cardiogenic plate and pericardial cavity become located where?
Ventrally and caudally.
List the 2 folds that bring the 2 heart tubes of an early embryo together?
1- folds in cephalocaudally (cranial fold).
2- then transversely (lateral fold).
The 2 endocardial heart tube in an early embryo fuse in which direction?
Cephalo-caudally.
The heart tube is attached to which side of the pericardial cavity?
Doral side of the pericardial cavity.
The heart tube of an early embryo is attached to the dorsal side of the pericardial cavity by what?
Dorsal mesocardium.
The mesoderm adjacent to the endocardial tube forms what?
Epimyocardial mantle.
The epimyocardial mantle is separated from endocardial tube by what?
Cardiac jelly.
The endocardial tube of an early embryo consists of what?
1- endocardium.
2- myocardium.
3- epicardium.
The cephalic portion of the heart tube bends in which direction which creates the cardiac loop?
Ventral and caudal direction to the right.
The caudal portion of the heart tube bends in which direction which creates the cardiac loop?
Shifts in a dorsal-cranial direction and to the left.
The 2 bends of the heart tube creates what?
A cardiac loop.
List the 4 twists of a primitive heart tube in order from top to bottom?
1- bulbus cordis.
2- ventricle.
3- atrium.
4- sinus venosus.
The atrioventricular junction remains narrow and develops into what?
Atrioventricular canal.
List the 3 parts of the bulbus cordis?
1- proximal third.
2- conus cordis (middle part).
3- truncus arteriosus (distal part).
What does the proximal third of the bulbus cordis form?
Forms the trabeculated (rough) part of the right ventricle.
What does the conus cordis (middle third) of the bulbus cordis form?
Forms the outflow tract (smooth side) of both ventricles.
What does the truncus arteriosus (distal third) of the bulbus cordis form?
Forms the aorta and pulmonary trunk.
The proximal portion of the bulbus forms what?
The primitive right ventricle.
The primitive ventricle become what to later form what?
Becomes trabeculated (rough) and forms the primitive left ventricle.
(Rough part of the left ventricle).
In which week does the sinus venosus consist of a transverse portion and right and left sinus horn?
4th week.
Each horn receives blood from 3 important veins, list them?
1- vitelline veins (venous drainage of the GIT).
2- the umbilical vein.
3- common cardinal vein (venous drainage of the whole body).
Which part of the horn disappears in the 5th and 7th week?
The left umbilical vein and left vitelline vein.
