Development of the Heart (Exam 2) Flashcards
What is the function of the post-natal CV system
deliver blood to lungs for oxygen and distribute oxygenated blood throughout body
What is the function of embryonic/fetal cardovascular system
blood receives O2 from placenta, lungs are still developing
How is the primary heart field formed
Cardiac progenitor cells migrate into splanchnic mesoderm
Where do cardiac progenitor cells come from
epiblast
Where do the cardiac progenitor cell migrate
cranial to oropharyngeal membrane
How is the cardiagenic area formed
primary heart field cells form cardiac myoblasts and blood islands
What induces the PHF cells to form cardiac myoblasts and blood islands
underlying endoderm
How is the heart tube formed
embryonic folding brings heart tube into position in the thorax and causes fuse of PHF together
How is the transverse pericardial sinus formed
breakdown of the dorsal mesentery that held the heart suspended
What is the heart surrounded by
pericardial cavity
How will the heart tube receive and expel blood
receives blood at the caudal end and expels blood from the rostral end
What layer is the pericardial cavity associated with in the embryo
endoderm
What are the layers of the heart tube
endocardium
myocardium
epicardium
Where does the endocardium come from
layer of endothelial cells that line inner aspect of the tube
what is the myocardium
muscle, bulk of tube
what is the epicardium
outer line, synonymous with visceral layer of serous pericardium
What are the parts of the heart tube
bulbis cordis
primordial ventricle
primordial atrium
sinus venous
What are the parts of the bulbis cordis
truncus arteriosus
conus cordis
primitive right ventricle
What is the bulbs cords associated with
outflow on cranial end
What veins will drain into the sinus venosus
vitelline umbillical common cardinal vein coronary sinus sinus venarum oblique vein of left atrium
What is the sinus venarum
smooth region in the right atrium that receives blood from the vena cava and the coronary sinus
