Q

What is gastrulation?

A

process in which an embryo transforms from a one-dimensional layer of epithelial cells (blastula) and reorganizes into a multilayered and multidimensional structure called the gastrula

A

starts day 18-19

25
Q

What are the germ layers of the heart?

A

mesoderm that becomes the mesothelium, endothelium, and myocardium

26
Q

What are the 5 regions of the embryonic heart?

A
  1. truncus arteriosus
  2. bulbus cordis
  3. primitive ventricle
  4. primitive atrium
  5. sinus venosus.
27
Q

What does the truncus arteriosus become?

A

ascending aorta (aka aortic arch) and pulmonary trunk

28
Q

What does the bulbus cordis become?

A

Right ventricle and outflow tract

29
Q

What does the primitive ventricle become?

A

Left ventricle

30
Q

What does the primitive atrium become?

A

anterior portions of right and left atrium

31
Q

What does the sinus venosus become?

A

posterior portion of right and left atrium, the SA node, and the coronary sinus

32
Q

Heart valves and the septum develop from

A

septum intermedium

33
Q

What are the unique anatomical features of fetal circulation?

A
  1. foramen ovale shunt
  2. ductus arteriosis shunt
  3. ductus venous shunt
34
Q

Describe fetal circulation

A

blood goes from right atrium to left atrium to LV to AA to outside body back to RA to ascending aorta and through umbilical cord which carries CO2 and waste

35
Q

Describe newborn circulation

A

RA&raquo_space; tricuspid valve&raquo_space; RV&raquo_space; pulmonic valve&raquo_space; pulmonic artery&raquo_space; lungs to pick up O2&raquo_space; pulmonary vein&raquo_space; LA&raquo_space; mitral valve&raquo_space; LV &raquo_space; aortic valve&raquo_space; aorta&raquo_space; blood to body&raquo_space; blood returns through superior vena cava&raquo_space; inferior vena cava&raquo_space; RA

36
Q

When does the respiratory system develop?

A

approx day 25

37
Q

what does the ductus arteriosis do?

A

moves blood from pulmonary artery to aorta

38
Q

What does the ductus venous do?

A

lets highly oxygenated blood bypass the liver to the inferior vena cava and then to the right atrium of the heart

39
Q

What does the ductus venous do?

A

lets highly oxygenated blood bypass the liver to the inferior vena cava and then to the right atrium of the heart

40
Q

What happens at birth with the heart?

A

After the first breath, there is a drop in pulmonary pressure allowing pulmonary blood flow which closes the foramen ovale and constricts the ductus arteriosus and ductus venosus

41
Q

What are the stages of lung development?

A
  1. Embryonic Period
  2. Pseudoglandular Period
  3. Canalicular Period
  4. Terminal sac period
  5. Alveolar period
42
Q

What happens in pseudoglandular period?

A

5-16 weeks

  • all elements of the lungs are developed except those involved in gas exchange
  • terminal bronchus present but not respiratory bronchioles, alveoli, and alveoli ducts
  • fetuses born up to 17 weeks will not survive
43
Q

What happens in canalicular period?

A

16-26 weeks

  • lumen of bronchi and bronchioles become larger
  • tissue becomes mores vascular
  • respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts develop
  • some terminal sacs develop
  • respiration is possible at then end of this stage
44
Q

What happens in canalicular period?

A

16-26 weeks

  • lumen of bronchi and bronchioles become larger
  • tissue becomes mores vascular
  • respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts develop
  • some terminal sacs develop
  • pulmonary capillaries
  • respiration is possible at then end of this stage
45
Q

What happens in the terminal sac period?

A

26 weeks-birth

  • many more terminal sacs develop
  • epithelium becomes very thin
  • type I alveolar cells develop
  • capillary network develops rapidly
  • capillaries bulge into the alveoli
  • increase # in alveoli, bronchioles, and pulmonary capillaries
  • surfactant is produced
46
Q

What happens in the alveolar period?

A

Late fetal -childhood

  • squamous epithelium form
  • terminal sacs become alveolar ducts
  • septa develops to increase surface are for better gas exchange
  • alveoli form after birth (continue to develop for 3-8 years)
47
