Development of the Heart Flashcards
When does the cardiovascular system develop
It is the first system to functionally develop
Happens btw 1st and 8th week
Mainly develops during middle of 3rd week
When does blood start to circulate
Beginning of the 4th week
How does the heart get to ventral surface of embryo
Head fold
Brings heart and pericardial cavity ventral to foregut
When does heart begin to beat
22-23 days
Truncus Arteriosus
Outflow of developing heart
Continuous with aortic sac
Bulbus Cordis
Outflow of developing heart
Proximal to truncus arteriosus
Sinus Venosus
Receives veonous blood flow from chorion, yoik sac, and embryo
Will develop right and left horns
Bulboventricular Loop
Bulbus cordis and primitive ventricle develop faster than other regions so the heart bends upon itself
Bends down and to the right
Sets up inflow and outflow
Inflow
Posterior - Back
Outflow
Anterior - Front
Blood Flow through Primordial Heart - Caudally to Cranially
- Sinus Venosus
- Primordial Atria
- Atrioventricular Canal
- Primordial Ventricle
- Bulbus Cordis
- Truncus Arteriosus
- Aortic Sac
- Aortic Arches
Partitioning of heart…when?
Begins middle of 4th week and is done by end of 5th
Development of semilunar valves
develop from three swellings of subendocardial tissue
position of the cusps after rotation is normal anatomical way of naming
Pulmonary Semilunar Valves
Right, Left and Anterior Cusps
Aortic Semilunar Valve
Right, Left and Posterior Cusps
