Embryology Flashcards
Where does the Endocardial tubules begin to develop from
at each end of the mesoderm from angiogenic cell clusters
What occurs to merge the endocardial tubes together to form the primordial heart tube
Embryonic folding occurs and by week 3 the two endocardial tubes have been formed and are pushed together merging into primordial heart tube
What step from the basis of the cardiovascular system
The Tubular heart joining with the blood vessels in other areas
Where is the pericardium of the heart derived from
intra-embryonic coelom (the body cavity)
What layers does lateral plate somatic mesoderm go on to form in the pericardium
Parietal layer of serous pericardium and fibrous pericardium
The visceral layer of the serious pericardium, i.e. the myocytes is derived from the
Lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm
What is the names of the 5 distinct regions of the primicordial heart tubules formed from head to tail
Truncus arteriosus Bulbus cordis primitive ventricle primitive atrium sinus venosus
What is being formed the same time as the formation of the heart tubules
Other major heart components
What does the truncus arteriosus develop into
The aorta and pulmonary artery
aortic arch
What does the bulbs cordis develop into
Right ventricle
parts of the outflow tract
What does the primitive ventricle develop into
Left ventricle
What does the primitive atrium develop into
The front parts of the left and right atria
What does the sinus venosus develop into
The posterior part of the right atrium and the SAN
part of the superior vena cava
What propels the heart to beat on day 21
Blood flows into the sinus venosus from the yolk sac and the placenta, resulting in a contraction that propels blood to the truncus arteroisus
What is the structure of the sinus venosus in venous end of the heart tube
There is a left and right horn The 3 veins attached to each horn for blood supply: Common cardinal vein Umbilical vein Vitelline vein
Where does the umbilical vein receives its blood supply from
The placenta carrying oxygenated blood to the embryo
Where does the vitelline vein receive its blood supply from
The yolk sac to the sinus venosus
How is the body of the embryo connected to the heart tube allowing for drainage
through the common cardinal vein
What is the structure of the truncus arterioles
There is a formation of 6 aortic arches arising from the aortic sac and terminating in the dorsal aorta
What regions of the heart tubule grow the fastest
The bulbus cordis and the ventricle
The fast growing pace of the bulbs cordis and the ventricle affect the shape of the heart
They loop to the right forming a U shaped - bulboventricular loop
What is the formation of the bulboventricualr loop called
Dextral looping
