Embryo- Heart development Flashcards
during Week 3, the Heart Development Begins Within what?
Cardiogenic Mesoderm
what is the 1st sign of heart development?
formation of a solid, horseshoe-shaped endothelial cord
where does the horseshoe-shaped endothelial cord form?
within the cardiogenic mesoderm
what is another name for the endothelial cells that make up the horseshoe cord?
Angioblastic cord
- made of splanchnic mesenchymal cells
during early development, what cavity is forming just dorsal to endothelial cords?
pericardial cavity
the lateral sides of the horseshoe-shaped endothelial tubes fold in medially & ventrally, forming what?
a single heart tube (endocardial tube)
the ______ ________ holds the heart to the back of the pericardial cavity
Dorsal mesocardium
Prior to head folding, the heart is:
- Rostral to oropharyngeal membrane
- Ventral to pericardial cavity
after head-folding is complete, the heart is:
- Caudal to oropharyngeal membrane
- Dorsal to pericardial cavity
the Dorsal Mesocardium eventually degenerates, forming what?
Transverse Pericardial Sinus
name the layers of the primitive heart tube, from deep to superficial
1) Endothelium
2) Cardiac jelly
3) Myocardium
4) Epicardium
what are the eventual derivatives of the primitive heart tube layers?
Endothelium- endocardium
Cardiac jelly- extracellular matrix
Myocardium- cardiac muscle
Epicardium- Visceral pericardium
all layers of the primitive heart tube are derived from ________ _________
splanchnic mesoderm
the cardiac jelly is produced by the ________, and will eventually degenerate
myocardium
name the 5 primitive chambers of the developing heart tube
A) Truncus arteriosis B) Conus Cordis C) Primordial Ventricle D) Primordial Atrium E) Sinus Venosus
the Bulbus Cordis contains what?
The Truncus Arteriosis and the Conus Cordis
what separates the Conus cords from the primordial ventricle?
Bulboventricular sulcus
the Atrioventricular sulcus separates which 2 structures?
Primordial ventricle & the Primordial Antrum
all blood first enters the ________
sinus venosus
The __________ separates the sinus venosus from the primordial atrium
sinoatrial canal
what structure connects the Primordial ventricle to the Bulbus Cordis?
Primary interventricular foramen
found within the bulboventricular sulcus
As the heart folds, its cranial end will shift:
ventrally, caudally, and to the right
during heart folding, the caudal end will shift:
dorsally & superiorly
trace the flow of blood through the primordial heart:
1) Sinus venosus
2) primordial atrium
3) atrioventricular (AV) canal
4) left ventricle (primordial ventricle)
5) interventricular (IV) foramen
6) right ventricle
7) conus cordis
8) truncus arteriosus
9) aortic sac
10) pharyngeal aa.
11) dorsal aortae
