Development Flashcards
Where are endocardia heart tubes derived from?
Splanchnic mesoderm
At what week and day does the two heart tubes fuse and laterally fold?
3rd week, day 16
During what weeks is the embryo most vulnerable? Why?
- week 3-8wks
- when most things are still developing. It’s growth from there on
At what embryologic phase does laterality happen? What is laterality of the heart?
- gastrulation- week 3
- left and right sides of heart form
At what week and day does the fetalheart begin to beat?
- week 4
- day 19-20
From top to bottom, name the 5 parts of the heart tube. Which is the outflow tract? Which is the inflow tract?
-Truncus arteriosus (outflow), bulbus cordis, ventricle, atrium, sinus venosus (inflow)
What does the Truncus arteriosus develop into?
- Ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
- smooth part of left atrium that has pulmonary veins
What does the Bulbus Cordis develop into?
- smooth part of right ventricle (conus arteriosus)
- smooth part of left ventricle (aortic vestibule)
What does the ventricle and atrium of the heart tube develop into?
- ventricle: trabeculated portion of left and right ventricle
- atrium: trabeculated portion of left and right atrium (pectinate muscles)
What does the sinus venosus of the heart tube develop into?
- left horn: coronary sinus
- right horn: smooth part of right atrium (sinus venarum)
What direction does the arterial and venous end of the heart tube go when looping? When does cardiac looping end?
- arterial end loops downwards
- venous end loops upwards
- at day 28
If cardiac looping fails to happen properly, what can happen? What two other disorders is this usually associated with?
- dextrocardia: heart lies of RIGHT side instead of left, problem might start in gastrulation
- associated with situs inversus and Kartagener syndrome
What artery supplies the posterior one third of the interventricular septum?
Posterior interventricular branch of the right coronary artery
What artery supplies the anterior two third of the interventricular septum?
LAD
Down’s syndrome is usually associated with what type of cardiac anomaly?
Atrioventricular septal defect
What day does atrial septal development happen?
Day 30
The interatrial septum develops from what two things?
Septum primum and septum secondum
Endocardial cushions develop from what?
Neural crest cells
