CVS embryology Flashcards
where do blood vessels first appear
the yolk sac, allantois, connecting stalk and chorion
–this is called the cardiogenic field
where do the heart tubes from from
blood vessels in lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm
where does the heart lie in relation to
dorsal to pericardial cavity
where does parietal and fibrous pericardium form from
somatic mesoderm
where does visceral pericardium form from
splanchnic mesoderm
where does pericardial cavity form from
intra-embryonic coelom
what does the caudal and cephalic end become
caudal- veins
cephalic- arteries
whats the name of the fold of heart tube
bulboventricular loop
what happens in formation of bulboventricular loop
Bulbus cordis and ventricle enlarge and loop to the right →
Ventricle pushed left and inferiorly
Atria pushed superiorly and posteriorly
birth defects: dextrocardia
Heart tube loops to left side (instead of right side)
so ventricles come to lie facing the right
Formation of left and right atrioventricular canals
Endocardial cushion growth
separates right atrium + ventricle
from left atrium + ventricle to form L & R AV canals
Partitioning of Primitive Atrium into left & right atria
septum primum and ostium primum grow
ostium secundum grows after apoptosis of septum primum
eventually making foramen ovale
role of foramen ovale
allows blood to pass through atria as doesn’t need to go to right ventricle for lungs
what happens to the foramen ovale after birth
septum primum fuses with the septum secundum
making fossa ovalis
non closure of foramen ovale is called
patent foramen ovale
a common congenital Atrial Septal Defect
Partitioning of Primitive Ventricle
Muscular ventricular septum forms. Opening is called interventricular foramen.
Aorticopulmonary septum divides bulbiscordis and truncus arteriosus into aorta and pulmonary trunk.
Bottom of spiral aorticopulmonary septum fuses with muscular ventricular septum and endocardial cushions to form membranous interventricular septum, closing interventricular foramen
birth defects: Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
hole in middle septum
can close spontaneously
Partitioning of Bulbus Cordis (BC) and Truncus Arteriosus (TA)
aorticopulmonary septum divides BC and TA into aorta and pulmonary trunk
Transposition of Great vessels
Common cause of cyanotic disease in newborn infants
Permit exchange of systemic and pulmonary circulation
causes of transposition of great vessels
1) Failure of aorticopulmonary septum to take a spiral course
2) Defective migration of neural crest cells to heart
what develops from the ventricular wall
- The cusps
- chordae tendineae
- papillary muscles
of the atrioventricular valves
how are the semilunar valves formed
from subendocardial valve tissue.
how are atrium and sinus venosus made
Early pacemakers- SA node
-cardiomyocytes
SA node development time and location
5th week
high in the right atrium near the entrance of the SVC
