Q

name process that aligns 4 chambers of future heart correctly

A

cardiac looping
~day 23-28
~week4

24
Q

endocardial cushions forms…

A

fuses at midline to form atrioventricular canal
separates L/R ventricle
~28-35 days

25
Q

which vein is oxygenated in early embryo vascular system

A

umbillical vein

26
Q

the sinus venosus becomes

A

the coronary sinus and smooth wall of R atrium and sinus venarum in adult heart

27
Q

in heart looping, how does the bulbus cordis move?

A

caudally, ventrally, to the R

28
Q

in heart looping, how does the primitive ventricle move

A

to the L

29
Q

in heart looping, how does the sinus venosus move

A

dorsally and cranially

30
Q

what is dextrocardia

A

abnorm condition in which the heart is pointed toward the right side of the chest.

31
Q

what separates the common atrium

A

septum primum and secundum

~day 33

32
Q

what openings connect newly divided atrium in fetus

A

foramen ovale and ostium secundum

33
Q

what separates the ventricle in the heart

A

expanding interventricular septum and conus swellings
~week 7
ridges spiral and fuse

34
Q

why is spiral of the conotruncal/ aorticopulmonary septum important inside the truncus arteriosus

A

shunts blood from R ventricle to lungs, and L ventricle to aorta

35
Q

ventricular septal defects

A

Defect: IV septum does not form: in a newborn blood flows from L ventricle to R ventricle

36
Q

what cells form the conotruncal/ aorticopulmonary septum important inside the truncus arteriosus

A

neural crest cells

37
Q

abnormality: transposition of great vessels

A

If Spiral formation in conotruncal septum fails: blood flows from R ventricle to aorta

No oxygenated blood in circulation and newborn dies

If has atrial/ventricle defect some blood can mix and infant can live

38
Q

what forms the ductus arteriosus

A

~8wks
the L 6th aortic arch artery
**ligamentum arteriosum pulls L side of recurrent laryngeal nerve lower than R

39
Q

what later forms the R pulmonary artery

A

R 6th aortic arch

40
Q

which # aortic arch later forms the aortic arch

A

L 4th aortic arch

41
Q

which aortic arch later forms the proximal R subclvian artery

A

R 4th aortic arch

42
Q

what does the 3rd aortic arch later form

A

common and internal carotid arteries

43
Q

what does the embryonic aortic sac become

A

proximal aortic arch and brachiocephalic trunk

44
Q

what embryonic structure later forms the adult common carotid artery

A

3rd aortic arch

45
Q

what embryonic structure later forms the adult aortic arch

A

truncus arteriosus, aortic sac, L 4th arch, L dorsal aorta

46
Q

what embryonic structure later forms the adult pulmonary trunk

A

truncus arteriosus

47
Q

what embryonic structure later forms the adult ligamentum arteriosum

A

L 6th arch

48
Q

what vessel carries oxygenated blood to the fetal heart

A

umbilical vein

49
Q

what does the ductus venosus do in the fetal heart

A

shunts left umbilical vein blood flow directly to the inferior vena cava. Thus, it allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver.

50
Q

what does the foramen ovale do in the fetal heart

A

connect L and R atrium

51
Q

what does the ductus arteriosus do in the fetal heart

A

connects the pulmonary artery to the proximal descending aorta. It allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus’s fluid-filled non-functioning lungs

52
Q

what causes closure of the ductus arteriosus

A

rise in oxygen tension
bradykinin release= smooth muscle contraction

decreased prostaglandins from mother
occlusion from backward flow

53
Q

what adult structure forms from the embryonic ductus arteriosus

A

ligamentum arteriosum

54
Q

what adult structure forms from the embryonic ductus venosus

A

ligamentum venosus

55
Q

what is the ligamentum arteriosum

A

small ligament attached to the superior surface of the left pulmonary artery and the proximal descending aorta

fixes the aorta in place

closely related to the left recurrent laryngeal nerve

56
Q

abnorm: ductus venosus fails to close after birth

A

intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PSS)

57
Q

what adult structure forms from the embryonic umbillical vein

A

ligamentum teres hepatitis
