Q

Steps of bending of heart tube

A
  1. Bulbus cordis & ventricle elongate more rapidly with formation of U-shaped bulbo-ventricular loop.

40
Q

Fate of lower part of bulbus cordis

A

41
Q

Describe development if proximal part of smooth part of bulbus cordis

A

Divided by proximal bulbar septum to ventral (infundibulum of Rt ventricle) & dorsal (vestibule of Lt ventricle).
The septum shares in IV septum.

42
Q

Describe development if distal part of smooth part of bulbus cordis

A

Divided by dorsal bulbar septum into dorsal (aortic orifice) & ventral (pulmonary orifice)
Each orifice develops 3 valves (aortic, 2A & 1P,,pulmonary 2P & 1A) at the beginning, then with rotation the semilunar valves assume their normal anatomical position. They are also hollowed forming cusps.

43
Q

Mention origin of muscular part of the IV septum

A

Initially result of dilatation of both ventricles & fusion of opposing walls.
Later, active cellular proliferation

44
Q

Mention origin of membranous part of IV septum

A
  1. The septum intermedium (mainly dorsal cushion)

2. The proximal bulbar septum

45
Q

What structures result from spongework cavitation of myocardium

A

Trabeculae carneae, papillary muscles, chordae tendinae

46
Q

Name the septum dividing ascending aorta & pulmonary trunk

A

Spiral aortico-pulmonary septum

47
Q

GR: The valves are situated at the beginning of ascending aorta & pulmonary trunk

A

Because the lower border of the spiral septum fuses with distal bulbar septum.

48
Q

GR: The two great vessels are ensheathed by a single coat of serous pericardium

A

Because the pulmonary trunk and ascending aorta are developed from the same tube.

49
Q

GR; Helical arrangement of the two great vessels

A

Because of the spirality of the septum separating them

50
Q

Mention methods of formation of cardiac septa

Dextricardia

Ectopia cordis

54
Q

Describe dextricardia & its cause

A

Right sided heart, alone or in situs inversus totalis.

Due to bending of heart to the right & not to the left

55
Q

Describe ectopia cordis & its cause

A

Heart protrudes through a median gap in chest, due to faulty development of the sternum.

56
Q

Mention variants of site of atrial septum defect and its C/P
