embryological dev. of CV - Cole Flashcards
primitive vertebrate CV plan begins.. and present by..
begins mid-week 3
present by week 4
as they migrate PHF cells specified to form left and righ t sides of heart and to form
atria
left ventricle
part of right ventricle
secondary heart field (SHF) forms
remainder of right ventricle
outflow tract - conus cordis and truncus arteriosus
the 5HT PITX2 pathway specificies .. and programs..
left side of body
programs heart cells in priamry and SHFs
master gene for left sidedness
PITX2
patterning of cardiac progenitor celsl occurs at the same time as
laterality (left-right sidedness) is established
circuit that supplies and drains the yolk sac ; separate from umbilical artery and vein; called the “nursery for blood vessels”
vitelline vein and artery
features of embryonic circuit
- series of aortic arches connecting to dorsal aortae
- d. aortae subdivides into smaller vessels to supply embryo
- blood drained by anterior and posterior cardinal veins
- common cardinal vein
bulbus cordis consists of
truncus arteriosus
conus cordis
sinus venosus gives rise to
smooth part of right atrium (sinus venarum)
coronary sinus
oblique vein of left atrium
primitive atrium gives rise to
trabeculated part of right and left atria (auricles)
primitive ventricule gives rise to
trabeculated part of right and left ventricles
bulbus cordis gives rise to
conus cordis: smooth part of right ventricle
aortic vestibule: smooth part of left ventricle
truncus arteriosus gives rise to
aorta, pulmonary trunk
blood flow in embryonic dilation
sinus venosus —> primitive atrium –> primitive ventricle –> bulbus cordis —> truncus arteriosus
more anterior structures (ventricles and outflow tract) are specified as such because of
lower RA concentrations
cardiac looping, the correct folding of heart (due to its rapid growth) is controlled by
PITX2 and the laterality pathway
if messed, heart could fold in different direction (could still work just fine)
grow the fastest during cardiac looping
ventricles and outflow tract
dextrocardia caused by - presents as - can be found with - when does it occur embryologically?
- heart bends to left instead of right
- displaced to right with transposition of heart and great vessels
- most common positional abnormality
- can be found with situs inversus
- during gastrulation or later during cardiac looping
large ocmmunication between chambers that occurs when endocardial cushions fail to fuse – called? what does it result in? blood flow? treatment?
atrioventricular communis
results in common AV canal
giant atrial and ventricular septal defect
enlarged pulmonary trunk (less resistance in pulmonary circ. vs. systemic so all blood flows through there)
- Tx - put band on pulmonary artery to tie it off (lungs less congested now), then patch between right and left chambers then divide the one valve into two valves
formation of interventricular septum
2 parts:
muscular portion devleoping in midline on floor of the PV; growing upward towards ECC
- bublar ridges growing downwards to ECC
most VSDs occur in
muscular portion
but close spontaneously!
