Development of Cardiovascular System (Exam 2) Flashcards
(T/F) The cardiovascular system becomes functional in early development.
False - late development
Why is it not necessary for the cardiovascular system to be the first functinal system?
embryo gets nutrients from uterine fluid
(T/F) The yolk sac is where most of the nutrients are formed in mammals.
False - not many nutrients
The cardiovascular system beings are paired condensations of splanchnic mesoderm called ____________.
cardiogenic fields
Cells organize into cords and then form into paired _____________.
endocardial tubes
Inductive influences of _______ are essential for heart formation. What can occur without it?
endoderm
acardia
(T/F) Lungs are not functional until birth where they must immediately become functional.
True
As the body begins to fold, endocardial tubes partially fuse. Anything that prevents the merge results in what?
formation of 2 separate hearts (neither are functional)
What is an example of disorder that results in formation of two separate non-functional hearts?
cardia bifida
The endocardial tube of the developing cardiovascular system is temporarily connected by ________.
dorsal mesocardium
The developing heart differentiates into 4 parts: (cranial to caudal)
- bulbus cordis
- ventricle
- atrium
- sinus venosus
The endocardial tube folds on itself to form the _______.
cardiac loop
What 3 things determine the formation of the cardiac loop?
- elongation of tube
- degeneration of dorsal mesocardium
- anchorage of tube (both ends)
The cranial portion of the cardiac loop is oriented ________ and on the (right/left).
ventrocaudally
right
The caudal portion of the cardiac loop is oriented _______ and on the (right/left).
dorsocranially
left
The formation of cardiac chambers is accomplished by what 3 things?
- local expansions
- direction of blood flow
- formation of cardiac septa
The _______ between two chambers proliferates to form _________ which divides the AV canal into R + L canals.
endocardium
endocardial cushions
Internal architecture sculptured by selective ________ of (internal/external) walls.
excavations
internal
Externally the constriction between common atrium and ventricle is called _________.
coronary groove
A ridge from the roof of the atrium extending towards cushions is how the _________ forms.
septum primum
What leaves temporary communication between atria?
ostium primum
Before fusing with the cushions, the dorsal part of the heart degenerates to form _________.
ostium secundum
What is the role of temporary communications of the heart?
blood has to flow freely through all chambers to mold and differentiate properly (why openings not closed until birth)
The two parts of the __________ do not fuse.
septum secundum
The two parts of the septum secundum do not fuse so the 2 atria communicate via ________.
foramen ovale
Complete separation of the two atria occurs when? What does it become in the adult?
after birth
fossa ovalis
The separation of the common ventricle occurs by the formation of a myocardial ridge between ventricle and bulbus cordis extending toward cushions called ___________.
muscular septum
The complete separation of the ventricles occurs by formation of _________ from cushions.
membranous septum
The major dilated part of the bulbus cordis is incorporated into RV as the origin of _____________.
pulmonary trunk artery
