Q

What happens in week 2 gestation?

A

“Week of twos”

trophoblasts splits into two layers

1) Hypoblast –> embryonic yolk sac, chorionic cavity
2) Epiblast (will later become 3 germ layers endo, meso, ectoderm)

Together the hypoblast and epiblast are the bilaminar embryonic disc

Q

What happens in week 3 gestation? What is the role of gastrulation?

A

Week of threes
Gastrulation - endo meso ectoderm

Gastrulation ensures precursor cells are in the right place to allow for growth of those tissues

Means great risk for teratogenesis

Q

Which germ layer forms the heart?

A

Mesoderm

20
Q

Which week does the embryo fold? What does this do for the heart?

A

4

Puts it in the right place

21
Q

What is the cardiogenic field and what does it differentiate into?

A

It is the area of embryo that forms:
Heart
Blood
Vessels

22
Q

What are three causes of congenital cardiac abnormalities?

A
  • Genetic
  • De novo
  • Teratogenic agents e.g. alcohol
23
Q

Why are congenital cardiac conditions so common? (Think about role of heart in utero then after birth)

A

Because of the complexity of the heart and the fact it needs to work in utero and then switch to work with inflated lungs - lots of coordination of different structures that change at birth

24
Q

What is the primitive heart tube essentially? What does it not have (2)?

A

A modified blood vessel

Has no chambers no valves

25
Q

Why does CVS develop so early in embryogenesis?

A

Growing embryo needs blood

26
Q

What is the order of structures from top to bottom in the primitive heart? What do they become?

A

1) Aortic roots (2)
2) Truncus arteriosus -> Ao and pulm trunk
3) Bulbous cordis -> caudal end is smooth outflow tracts of LV and RV, cranial end (conus cords) gives rise to Ao and Pulm trunk with truncus arteriosus
4) Primative ventricle -> R+L ventricle
5) Primative atria -> R+L atria
6) Sinus venosus (4) -> Becomes the RA, coronary sinus and SAN

27
Q

What are neural crest cells and what are they sensitive to?

A

Form the CNS and sensitive to alcohol in particular.

Foetal alcohol syndrome

Neural crest cells also have important role in cardiac septation (Endocardial cushions) - hence septal abnormalities in foetal alcohol syndrome.

28
Q

What happens during cardiac looping and why?

A 
Runs out of space for linear dimension
Folding of primitive heart tube
Structures now in right place 
Folding is predictable and regular
Ventricles enlarge most, then atria
Now occupies all of pericardial sac
29
Q

What is the LA made from?

A

The primitive atrium, but mostly the primitive pulm veins (smooth part)

30
Q

What is the RA made from?

A

From most of primitive atrium and also part of the sinus venosus

31
Q

What are the three shunts in foetal life? Why do they need one around the liver?

A

Foramen ovale - allows R->L shunt to bypass lungs
Ductus arteriosus - allows blood from RV (as some still goes to RV to allow it to develop muscle) to go out to PA–>Ao–> body
Ductus venous - as liver v metabolically active in utero so need to bypass so it doesn’t use up all O2

32
Q

Which vessel has the highest PO2 in foetus?

A

IVC

33
Q

How does the foramen ovale shut at birth?

A

Increased LA pressure

Closes physiologically and then chemically –> fibrotic

34
Q

How does the ductus arteriosus shut at birth?

A

Muscular contraction with first breath

35
Q

What causes ductus venosus to shut?

A

Placenta removal

36
Q

How many initial aortic arches are there in primitive vessels?

A

6

37
Q

Which arch does the prox part of subclavian artery and Ao come from?
Which arch does the R pulm artery and L pulm artery and ductus arteriosus come from?

A

4 - prox part of subclavian and Aorta

6 ‘AKA pulm arch’- R and L pulm arteries and ductus arteriosus

38
Q

What causes the left recurrent laryngeal nerve to hook round aortic arch?

A

The heart descends inferiorly during development and this causes it to hook round

39
Q

What happens if the PDA doesn’t close? When is this more common?

A 
More common in premature babies
Doesn't close leads to:
Pulm HTN
Congestive HF
Arrhythmias

As blood will go from Ao to pulm A due to pressure

40
Q

What are the roles of the endocardial cushions?

A

Scaffold to divide heart into L and R and atria and ventricles

41
Q

What are the 5 stages of foramen ovale formation?

A

1) Endocardial cushions from neural crest cells
2) Wedge of tissue forms downwards to form 2 atria
3) Form crescent (septum primum) –> free flowing ‘osteum primum’
4) Osmium secundum made in septum primum by apoptosis - need septum secundum to make flow one way
5) Septum secundum forms with hole –> misaligned holes mean only one way flow of blood

42
Q

What could happen if the osteum primum and secundum do line up at birth?

A

They could cause communication between RA and LA, shunt from L->R ASD.

43
Q

What pathology is a risk with ASD?

A

TIA/Stroke due to emboli from DVT

44
Q

Where else would you need endocardial cushions?

A

Truncus arteriosus when forming the PA and Aorta - need to divide the one tube into two.

45
Q

How do pulm trunk and aorta develop around each other?

A

Spiral

46
Q

What are truncal ridges and bulbar ridges?

A

Endocardial cushions that together make spiral septum
