Development of the heart Flashcards
the receiving chambers of the heart
Atria
The ejecting chambers of the heart
Ventricles
what kind of blood is in the right side of the heart
Deoxygenated blood pumped to lungs
what kind of blood is in the left side of the heart
receives oxygenated blood and pumps to body
the adult heart
neonatal heart
how early is the cardiovascular system able to be functional
one of the first systems
Stages of heart development
Cardiac Crescent
Heart Tube
Pre-septated looped heart
Four chambered heart
Flow through the heart tube
Caudal to cranial
last step of heart development
septated into 4 chambers
migration of progenitor heart cells
Migrate through primitive streak into splanchnic layer of lateral plate mesoderm
the 1st sign of heart formation
solid horseshoe-shaped cluster of cells
the solid horseshoe-shaped cluster of cells that is the 1st sign of heart formation
Primary heart field
organization of the primary heart field
Medial: eventual aorta
in-betwen: Ventricles
Lateral: atria
when blood vessels arise from blood islands
Vasculogenesis
when blood vessels sprout from existing vessel
Angiogenesis
what happens in Vasculogenesis
Mesoderm cells cluster together around hemangioblasts to eventually form a tube
where does Vasculogenesis occur
in the embryo
Parts of Heart Development
Establishment and patterning of primary heart field Heart tube formation and positioning Cardiac loop formation Sinus venosus Partitioning of the heart
where does the heart originally form in respect to the brain
Ontop and infront of the brain
how does the heart get into the correct position
Due to cranial caudal folding
what forms the endocardial tubes
the uniting of blood islands
number of endocardial tubes before folding
2 (one on the right and one on the left
what happens while the endocardial tubes form
other blood island appear to form the pair of longitudinal dorsal aortae
roll of dorsal aorta
outflow of blood to the body
what causes the endocardial tubes to come close together to enventuall fuse
Lateral folding
do dorsal tubes fuse due to lateral folding
no
relation of heart tube to septum transversum (precursor to diaphram)`
Slightly causal
relation of heart tube to Pericardial cavity`
VEntral
relation of heart tube to oropharyngeal membrane (opening to oral cavity)
Cranial
how does the Heart tube eventually get below the brain
Cranial folding around teh opophyngeal membrane pushes brain up and heart down
Flow of the heart tube
Caudal to cranial possition
Flow through heart tube dilations
Sinus Venosus Primitive atrium Primitive ventricle Bulbus cordis Truncus arteriosus
