Embryo 3 Flashcards
What day does the heart first beat?
22
What does splanchnic mesoderm produce?
ALL the HEART
What does angioblastic tissue produce?
blood vessels
Primary Heart Fields: origin, purpose
- formed due to mesoderm migration during gastrulation
- develop into L/R atria, and L ventricle
- established in cranial end of embryo
- aka cardiogenic cord
Secondary Heart Fields: origin, purpose
- formed from pharyngeal arches
- develop into R ventricle, outflow tract, and part of atria (venous pole)
Outflow tract eventually becomes…
aorta and pulmonary trunk
Mesentery
- double layer of splanchnic mesoderm
- provides route for BVs, lymphatics, and nerves to get to/from organs
What happens to the endocardial heart tubes during lateral folding?
they fuse together
What is: endocardium? myocardium? epicardium? What are they all made from?
- internal endothelial lining
- muscular wall
- outer covering of heart (visceral pericardium)
- Splanchnic mesoderm
What forms when the dorsal mesentery degenerates?
transverse pericardial sinus–>separates outflow tract form venous flow
*dorsal mesentery connects the heart to the posterior body wall
What is the path of the NC cells to help form specific heart structures?
- originate in the myelencephalon (medulla) 2. migrate thru pharyngeal arches 3, 4, & 6
- end in the aorticopulmonary septa (separates outflow tract) and trunks arteriorsus
What four things regulate cardiac NC migration/differentiation?
Retinoic acid, Hot genes, Nf-1, and Pax 3
Primitive divisions include…
- Truncus arterioles and bulbus cordis (outflow tract)
- Ventricle and atrium
- Sinus Venosus (embryo veins bring blood to the heart)
What causes formation of the Bulboventricular loop?
- the fast growth of the bulbus cordis and ventricles
- the heart bends on itself
- right folding is normal
What is Dextrocardia?
- heart folding to the left
- if the abdomen is opposite as well, there are no problems (situs inversus)
Septation events start and end
mid 4th week and 8th week
*septation events happen all at the same time
What is the origin of endocardial (AV) cushions? Their purpose?
- mesodermal growth from the dorsal and ventral walls
- invaded in wk 5 by mesenchyme
- they will grow together to form R/L AV canals
Formation remodeling of the AV cushions is dependent on ____
retinoic acid
Anything smooth comes from the…
sinus venosus
