Embryological development of CVS Flashcards

1
Q

When does the CVS start to develop in the embryo?

A

Approx 4 weeks into development- when the placenta can no longer meet the needs of the embryo

Q

What is gastrulation?

A

An early stage in embryonic development where the single layered cells of the blastula reorganise into multiple layers to form a gastrula. The layers are the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.

Q

How is nodal distributed unevenly in heart development?

A

Cilia at the node rotate to direct more nodal to the left.

Q

How does nodal protein have an effect on the developing tissue?

Q

What two embryological structures give rise to the cardiac ventricles?

A

Bulbus cordis and the primitive ventricle

19
Q

What do the endocardial cushions aid in forming?

A

The interventricular septum

20
Q

What’s the adult remnant of the foramen ovale?

A

Fossa ovalis

21
Q

What foetal shunt results leads to the ligamentum arteriosum?

A

Ductus arteriosum

22
Q

What is the remnant of the umbilical vein?

A

The ligamentum teres

23
Q

What does the ductus arteriosis connect in the foetus?

A

Connects the main pulmonary artery to the descending aorta (to bypass the lungs in the foetus)

24
Q

What does the ductus venosum connect? And what does it bypass?

A

Left umbilcal vein to the inferior vena cava. Allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver.

25
Q

Where are blood islands found in the embryo?

A

Yolk sac

26
Q

What is vasculogenesis?

A

The embryological formation of blood vessels

27
Q

What is angiogenesis?

A

The development of blood vessels from existing vessels

28
Q

What is the difference between vasculogenesis and angiogenesis?

A

Vasculogenesis is the formation of blood vessels whereas angiogenesis is where new blood vessels form from existing vessels by ‘sprouting’

29
Q

What do angioblast develop into?

A

Blood vessels

30
Q

What embryonic cells do blood cells develop from?

A

Angioblasts

31
Q

Does angiogenesis or vasculosgenesis occur first in embyological development?

A

Vasculogenesis

32
Q

What does the truncus arteriosus develop into?

A

Ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk

33
Q

What does the bulbus cordis develop into?

A

Right ventricle

34
Q

What does the primitive ventricle develop into?

A

Left ventricle

35
Q

What does the primitive atrium develop into?

A

Anterior portions of the left and right atria aswell as both auricles.

36
Q

Where are the two auricles of the heart found?

A

Anterior surfaces in the right and left atria

37
Q

What does the sinus venosus develop into?

A

Posterior portion of right atrium
SA node
Coronary sinus

38
Q

What germ cell layer develops to form the heart (aswell as CVS and all muscle types)

A

Mesoderm

39
Q

What primitive area develops to form the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk?

A

Truncus arteriosus

40
Q

What primitive area develops to form the anterior portions of both atria?

A

41
Q

What primitive area develops to form the right ventricle?

A

Bulbus cordis

42
Q

What primitive area develops to form the left ventricle?

A

Primitive ventricle

43
Q

What area develops to form the coronary sulcus?

A

Sinus venosus

44
Q

What area develops to form the SA node and posterior portion of the right atrium?
