development of the cvs Flashcards
the heart starts developing in which week
it develops in week 3
where does angioblastic cells get derived form and what doe sit form into
the angioblastic cells are derived from the intraembryonic mesoderm and the Fetal membranes: including the chorion, connecting stalk and wall of yolk sac.
and the angioblastic cells form islands and the central cells form the blood cells and the peripheral ones for the blood vessels
explain the blood flow during the fetal life
o2nated blood comes form the umbilical vein and goes to the liver via the left branch of the portal vein (and some of the blood goes directly in to the ivc via the ductus venosus) so from the left branch of the portal vein the blood enters the vein and leaves via the hepatic vein and enters the IVC and enters the heart but remember that IVC is bringing deo2nated blood from the tissues and thus the blood entering the right side of the heart is mixed blood.
and when the blood reaches the right atrium it goes via 2 pathwyas
1)via foramen ovale to the left atrium
2) to the right ventricle —> pulmonary artery –>ductus arteriosus–> aorta.
changes in the fetal circulation at birth:
1) the umbilical vein:
2) ductus venosis:
3) umbilical arteries:
4) ductus arteriosus
5) foramen ovale
1) ligamentum teres
2) ligamentum venosum
3) distal part =medial umbilical ligaments & proximal part = superior vesical arteries
4) ligamentum arteriosum
5) fossa ovalis (septum primum) and the annulus ovalis (septum secondum)
where does the heart arise from and from which day does it start to beat
it arises from the splanchinic mesoderm in the cardiogenic area and stats beating form day 22
briefly explain the development of the heart
the heart is starts developing by the 3rd week and it developes from the cardiogenic area in the splanchinic mesoderm and when the embryo starts folding the heart moves to the ventral and the thoracic region.
and from there we have the heart tubes and so on
the heart begins as
as 2 endothelial heart tube .The two heart-tubes fuse with each other giving single heart tube.
septum transversum gives rise to
it gives rise to the diaphragm
what is the dorsal mesocardium and what happens to it when it breaks down
the heart attaches to the esophagus via the dorsal mesocardium
when the dorsal mesocardium breaks down it forms the transverse pericardial sinus.
imagine we are in the single tube stage but then later on the heart starts bending how does the heart bend
The cephalic portion of the tube bends ventrally, caudally, and to the right and the atrial (caudal) portion shifts dorsocranially
what structures remain unbend during the bending of the heart
The Atrioventricular canal (AVC) between the primitive common atrium and the primitive ventricle; and the outflow tract (OFT) is continuous cranially.
explain the structure of sinus venosus in the beginning
we have a body and 2 horns and each horn has
Vitelline vein: carries unoxygenated blood from the yolk sac.
Umbilical vein: carries oxygenated blood from the placenta
Common cardinal vein: carries unoxygenated blood from the body wall. It is formed by the union of anterior and posterior cardinal veins
why does the right horn become more than the left horn
The development of the liver on the right side.
The presence of transverse anastomoses between the left and right cardinal veins, shifting the blood from left to right side.
what is the fate of the body of the sinus venosus, right horn and left horn
The body: becomes reduced in size to form the coronary sinus.
The right horn: is enlarged and absorbed into the right atrium to form the smooth posterior part of the right atrium.
The left horn: is reduced in size to form the oblique vein of left atrium.
what forms the septum intermedium and what does it share in the formation of
the dorsal and the ventral endocardial cushions form the septum intermedium
shares in the formation of interatrial septum and the membranous part of the interventricular septum
