primitive vertebrate CV plan begins.. and present by..
begins mid-week 3 present by week 4
as they migrate PHF cells specified to form left and righ t sides of heart and to form
atrialeft ventricle part of right ventricle
secondary heart field (SHF) forms
remainder of right ventricleoutflow tract - conus cordis and truncus arteriosus
the 5HT PITX2 pathway specificies .. and programs..
left side of bodyprograms heart cells in priamry and SHFs
master gene for left sidedness
PITX2
patterning of cardiac progenitor celsl occurs at the same time as
laterality (left-right sidedness) is established
circuit that supplies and drains the yolk sac ; separate from umbilical artery and vein; called the “nursery for blood vessels”
vitelline vein and artery
features of embryonic circuit
- series of aortic arches connecting to dorsal aortae - d. aortae subdivides into smaller vessels to supply embryo- blood drained by anterior and posterior cardinal veins- common cardinal vein
bulbus cordis consists of
truncus arteriosusconus cordis
sinus venosus gives rise to
smooth part of right atrium (sinus venarum)coronary sinusoblique vein of left atrium
primitive atrium gives rise to
trabeculated part of right and left atria (auricles)
primitive ventricule gives rise to
trabeculated part of right and left ventricles
bulbus cordis gives rise to
conus cordis: smooth part of right ventricleaortic vestibule: smooth part of left ventricle
truncus arteriosus gives rise to
aorta, pulmonary trunk
blood flow in embryonic dilation
sinus venosus —> primitive atrium –> primitive ventricle –> bulbus cordis —> truncus arteriosus
more anterior structures (ventricles and outflow tract) are specified as such because of
lower RA concentrations
cardiac looping, the correct folding of heart (due to its rapid growth) is controlled by
PITX2 and the laterality pathwayif messed, heart could fold in different direction (could still work just fine)
