Development Of The Heart Flashcards
The CVS develops in ….
Middle of 3rd week
GR: CVS has to develop very early
Due to that the rapidly growing embryo can no longer maintain sufficient nutrition and oxygenation of inner parts by simple diffusion.
Mention embryonic origin of CVS & name the process
Mesodermal
Angiogenesis
Mention steps of formation of blood vessels
Mesodermal angiogenic cells form blood islands which acquire lumena and form endothelial channels which become interconnected together, the surrounding mesoderm forms mucular & CT of blood vessels
Mention extra & intra-embryonic vessels & origin of each
E: vitelline vessels around youlk sac, umbilical vessels extend to chorion, originate from extra-embryonic mesoderm
I: 2 dorsal aortae, originate from intra-embryonic splanchnic mesoderm
Primitive blood cells develop from …..
Vitelline & umbilical vessels
Mention Intra-uterine organs of hemopoiesis & those continuing post-natal
Liver, spleen, bone marrow & lymph nodes
Bone marrow & lymph nodes
Mention shape & site of pericardial sac
Carnial part of U-shaped intra-embryonic coelom, between bucco-pharyngeal membrane (caudally) & septum transversum (cranially)
Mention shape & site of cardiogenic plate
Horse-shoe shaped, ventral to pericardial sac
Mention steps of development from cardiogenic plate to single heart tube
Angiogenic cell clusters develop, they acquire lumen and fuse together forming rt & lt endocardial tubes which fuse in cranio-caudal direction.
Mention site of myoepicardial mantle
Between the pericardial sac & endocardial tube
Mention structure separating myoepicardial mantle from heart tube
Cardiac jelly
Mention the origin of each:
- Endocardium
- Myocardium
- Epicardium
- Endocardial heart tube
- Myoepicardial tube
- Visceral layer of pericardial sac
The heart tube & pericardial sac rotate on a transverse axis …. Degrees
180
Describe position of heart tube relative to neighbouring structures following folding
Ventral to foregut
Cranial to septum transversum
Caudal to bucco-pharyngeal membrane
Dorsal to pericardial sac
The endocardial heart tube invades pericardial sac from …. Aspect
Dorsal
Absorption of dorsal mesocardium leads to formation of …..
Transverse sinus of pericardium
Mention dilatations of heart tube in cranio-caudal order
Truncys arteriosus, bulbus cordis, ventricle, atrium, sinus venosus
The first chamber to appear are ……&…. . The last is ….
Bulbus cordis, ventricle
Sinus venosus
….&… are initially outside pericardial sac
Atrium & sinus venosus
Each horn of sinus venosus recieves the following:
- Vitelline vein from yolk sac
- Umbilical vein from placenta
- Common cardinal vein from body wall
A total of ….. arches connect each dorsal aorta with corresponding horn.
Mention fate of 2 dorsal aorta
6
Their caudal parts fuse together forming single dorsal aorta
Mention causes of bending of heart tube
- Elongation of heart tube while its two ends are fixed
- Disproportionate growth of heart tube & pericardial sac
- Disproportionate growth of different parts of heart tube
Steps of bending of heart tube
- Bulbus cordis & ventricle elongate more rapidly with formation of U-shaped bulbo-ventricular loop.
- Cardiac loop becomes S-shaped as the atrium & sinus venosus are dragged inside pericardial sac with approximation of the arterial & venous ends of the loop.
- Blbus cordis shifts to right of ventricle
- The atrium expands transversely amd bulges on either side of bulbus cordis
Heart & pericardium migrate from ….. to ….
3rd - 4th somites
17th - 20th somites
Both valves of sinus venosus fuse together cranially forming …..
Septum spurium
