Embryology Flashcards
Truncus Arteriosus
ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
Bulbus cordis
smooth parts (outflow tract) of laft and right ventricles
Primitive Atria
Trabeculated part of left and right atria
Primitive Ventricle
Trabeculated part of left and right ventricles
Primitive Pulmonary Vein
Smooth part of left atrium
Left horn of sinus venosus
coronary sinus
Right horn of sinus venosus
smooth part of right atrium
Right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein
SVC
1st Heart Sound
week 4
Cardiac Looping
Primary heart tube loops to establish left-right polarity; begins week 4 of gestation
Kartagener Syndrome
Primary ciliary dyskinesia
defect in left-right dynein, can lead to dextrocardia
Septum Primum
Grows toward endocardial cushions narrowing the foramen primum (opening betwen left and right atria)
Foramen Secundum
Forms in septum primum and foramen primum disappears
Septum secundum
Develops from endocardial cushion and from top of cardiac tissue
Valve of Foramen Ovale
septum primum
Form Atrial Septum
Fusion of Septum Primum and Septum Secundum
Closure of Foramen Ovale
At birth due to increase left atria pressure
Patent Foramen Ovale
Failure of septum primum and secundum to fuse after birth. Right-to-Left Shunt
can lead to paradoxical emboli (venous thromboemboli in systemic arterial circulation)
Aorticopulmonary septum
become ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
Ventricular Septal Defect
most commonly in membranous septum; acyanotic at birth due to left-to-right shunt
Outflow Tract Formation
neural crest and endocardial cell migration
truncal and bulbar ridges spiral and fuse to form aorticopulmonary septum
Conotruncal Abnormalities
Transposition of Great Vessels, Tetralogy of Fallot, Persistent Truncus Arteriosus
Aortic and Pulmonary valves
from endocardial cushions of outflow tract
Mitral and tricuspid valves
from fused ensocardial cushions of AV canal
