CVS: heart field, heart tube , cardiac looping Flashcards
Which organ found in human embryo is first organ to function?
heart
heart begins…:
1. beating ?
2. pumping blood by ?
- early as 21st day of development
- day 24-25
heart is an ..1.. organ whose ..2… patterning is established during ..3…
- asymmetrical
- left-right
- gastrulation
most of the CVS is derived from which germ layer ?
lateral plate (splanchnic) /visceral mesoderm
In response to signals from endoderm, ectoderm and midline mesoderm what forms within the lateral (splanchnic) mesoderm at the cranial end of the embryo ?
cardiac primordium , called the cardiac crescent, or first heart field
what do cardiac progenitor cells develop into ?
cardiac myoblasts
What do blood islands undergo to form vascular structures ?
vasculogenesis
first heart field is initially ..1.. shaped and surrounded by ..2…
eventually it will give rise to ..3… and the ..4..
- horsehoe
- cardiac myoblasts
- left ventricle
- atria
what is named the second heart field (SHF) ?
multipotent progenitor cells that have been identified in pharyngeal mesoderm
what does the second heart field give rise to ?
right ventricle & outflow tract (eventually develop into direct blood away from heart e.g. aorta + pulmonary tract)
Primary heart tube consists of a ..1.. tube with ..2.. mesoderm differentiating into ..3.. that will form …4…
- single endocardial
- adjacent
- cardiomyocytes
- myocardium
Developing myocardium deposits a layer of acellular ..1.. matrix, the ..2…, that separates it from the ..3..
- extracellular
- cardiac jelly
- endocardial tube
where is the primary heart tube initially suspended ?
In the developing pericardial cavity by a dorsal mesocardium located beneath the foregut
what is the dorsal mesocardium also known as ?
dorsal mesentery of the heart
What happens to the heart when the dorsal mesocardium ruptures over almost the entire length of the heart tube ?
the heart is left suspended in the pericardial cavity by its developing arterial and venous poles,
whilst the ruptured dorsal mesocardium becomes the transverse pericardial sinus within the pericardial sac of the definitive heart
