Q

What happens to the heart when the dorsal mesocardium ruptures over almost the entire length of the heart tube ?

A

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

Q

what happens to the ruptured dorsal mesocardium when the dorsal mesocardium ruptures over almost the entire length of the heart tube and the heart is left suspended in the pericardial cavity ?

A

it becomes the transverse pericardial sinus within the pericardial sac of the definitive sac

17
Q

heart tube wall consists of ?

A
  1. endocardium
  2. cardiac jelly
  3. myocardium
  4. epicardium
18
Q

What are the regions of the primary heart tube ?
Arterial end -> venous end

A

Arterial end -> venous end
1. aortic roots
2. Truncus arteriosus
3. conus cordis
4. proximal 1/3
5. primitive ventricle
6. primitive atrium
7. sinus venosus

19
Q

Bulbus cordis consists of what ?

A
  • truncus arteriosus
  • conus cordis
  • proximal 1/3
20
Q

sinus venosus develops into ?

A

posterior portion of the right atrium, the SA node and the coronary sinus

21
Q

primitive atrium develops into ?

A

trabeculated parts of right and left atria

22
Q

primitive ventricle develops into ?

A

trabeculated part of left ventricle

23
Q

bulbus cordis develops into ?

A
  • trabeculated part of right ventricle
  • outflow part of both ventricles (distal part)
24
Q

truncus arteriosus divides and gives rise to … ?

A

ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk

25
Q

where is bulboventricular sulcus (interventricular septum) found in the primary heart tube ?

A

between the proximal 1/3 of bulbus cordis and primitive ventricle

26
Q

what happens day 23 (week 4) to the primary heart tube ?

A

it begins to elongate and simultaneously bend and twist into a C-shaped structure

with the bend extending towards the right side: the ventral surface of the primary heart tube forms forms the right outer curvature of the C-shaped heart

27
Q

when does the heart tube take the S-shaped configuration ?

A

it continues to elongate at both arterial and venous poles

28
Q

In process of heart tube taking S-shaped configuration what happens ? to the following:
1. primitive right ventricle
2. primitive left ventricle
3. primitive atrium

A
  1. displaced caudally, ventrally and to the right
  2. displaced to the left
  3. it acquires a more dorsal and cranial position
29
Q

What is the end result of cardiac looping ?

A

to bring the 4 presumptive chambers of the future heart into their correct special relationship:
* atrium -> dorsal & cranial
* ventricle -> displaced left
* bulbus cordis -> moves inferiorly , ventrally to the right

30
Q

by which day is the elongation of the heart tube is complete ?

A

28

31
Q

what does the atrioventricular junction develop into ?

A

atrioventricular canal which connects the primitive atrium and the primitive ventricle

32
Q

what develops into the primary interventricular foramen ?

A

bulboventricular sulcus between the ventricle and bulbus cordis

33
Q

Name 3 abnormalities associated with cardiac looping

A
  • ventricular inversion
  • heterotaxy
  • visceroatrial heterotaxy syndroms
34
Q

ventricular inversion is a condition in which …?

A

looping of the heart tube is reversed from its normal sinistral (left) pattern

35
Q

what does ventricular inversion result in ?

A

a heart that has its apex inferior to the right side (rather than the left)

36
Q

what is heterotaxy as a condition ?

A

a congenital condition ascribed to abnormal left-right axis formation

37
Q

2 froms of heterotaxy ?

A

partial situs ambiguous and situs inversus totalis

  • partial situs ambiguous (a verseral of some organs)
  • or situs inversus totalis (reversal of all visceral)
  • a few if any symptims
38
Q

what are visceroatrial heterotaxy syndromes ?

A

conditions where the abdominal viscera and the atrial pole are oriented on opposing sides of the body

39
Q

What structural defects are associated with visceroatrial heterotaxy syndromes?

A
  • A common atrium
  • Malalignment of the atrioventricular canal and outflow tract
  • Abnormal venous and arterial vascular connections
