Embryology and Congenital Heart Defects Flashcards
Layers in a blastocyst
Outer cell is tophoblast Inner cell is Embryoblast Central cavity is called blastocyst
Embyoblast layers
External: epiblast which gives rise of embryonic disc Internal: hypoblast
Blastocyst stage
precordial cells are in epiblast portion of embryonic disc on either side of the primitive stread. They migrate downward to give rise of intraembryonic mesoderm
Gastrula Stage
formation of the three layers 1) endo 2) mesoderm - which contains the precardial cells that migrate anteriorly and laterally (cranially) 3) ectoderm
what happens on day 16 gestation
precardiac cells are most cranial and surround neural plate in the cardiogenic area.
where are cardiac cells dervied
mesoderm
Day 19 in gestation
cardiogenic cells migrate ventrally to forebrain and foregut. Formation of two endothelial lined heart tubes begins and the splancnic mesoderm surrounds the heart cells
Day 21 and 22
cardiac cells fuse due to cephalic and lateral folding to form the primitive heart tube. and heart begins to beat
when do the heart tubes begin to form? when do they fuse?
day 19 - form and fuse by day 22
when does the heart start to beat?
day 22
what cells give rise to the endocardium
endothelial layer of heart tub
what cells give rise to the myocardium
outer tube mesoderm
what cells give rise to the epicardium
outer tube mesoderm
where is the cardiac jelly
in between endocardium and myocardium to facilitate in looping and separation
General order form head to tail of the cardiac loop
Dorsal Aorta - Truncus - Conus - Bulbus Cordis - Primitive Ventricle - antrioventricular sulcus - primitive atria - sinus venosus
what does the truncus form?
aortic sac and aorta, Pulmonic trunk, Aortic and pulmonic valves
what does the conus from?
infundibula of ventricles
what does the bulbus cordis form?
Trabeculated RV
what does the primitive ventricle form?
Traveculated LV
What does the atrioventricular sulcus form?
IV septum
what forms the aorta and pulmonary a.?
Truncus
what forms the trabeculated RV
Bulbus cordis
what forms the trabeculated LV
Primitive ventricle
Looping stage days
Day 23-25
Looping stage
day 23-25 loops right. Cranial to caudal and posterior to anterior.
Blood flow at day 25
Entry itno sinus venosus via three veins. 1) Umbillical 2) vitelline 3) cardinal
Umbillical Vein
From the placenta
Vitelline vein
from the yolk sac
Cardinal Vein
From the embryo
What happens to the umbillical vein?
Right disappears, Left forms ductus venosus
what happens to the vitelline vein?
R form the superior mesenteric artery distal and proximal suprahepatic a. and IVC L forms hepatic sinusoids
what happens to the cardinal veins?
R fors SVC, brachiocephalic V and innominate L forms ligament of marshall
how do the pulmonary veins form?
splanchnic plexus forms the pulmonary venous plexus –> pulmonary veins. An endothelial projection form LA connects to pulmonary venous venous plexus to form a common pulmonary vein that branches into R and L
Cushions in the conus
Dextrodorsal conal crest Sinistroventral conal crest
Cushions in the truncus
Dextrosuperior CC Sinistroinferior Right and Left intercalated swellings
Sinistroventral conal crest is contiuous with..
the sinstrosuperior conal crest of the truncus
dextrosuperior conal crest is continuous with..
the dextrodorsal conal crest of the conus
which is unique about the great artery formation?
it happens in a rotation. So pulmonary outlet in to the right and anterior of the aortic.
Right intercalated swelling forms part what valve?
aortic cusp
Left intercalated swelling forms part of what valve?
pulmonic cusp (anterior)
when do the great arteries form?
35-56 day
what doe the aortic arches give rise to?
vascullature of head, neck and upper thorax
First aortic arch
gives rise to maxillary and external carotid a. First to disappear
Second aortic arch
proximal disappears and distal gives rise to stapedial a.
3rd aortic arch
carotid a.
4th aortic arch
Right gives rise to Right brachiocephalic and rt. subclavian. Left gives rise to transverse aortic arch
5th aortic arch
disappears
6th aortic arch
Proximal Right: Proximal Pulm a. Proximal Left: pulmonary a. Distal L: ductus arteriosus
what arch gives rise to the external carotid a.
1st
what arch gives rise to the maxillary a.
1st
what arch gives rise to the cartod a.
3rd (1st external carotid)
what arch gives rise to the right brachiocephalic a.?
4th fight aortic arch
what arch gives rise to the Rt subclavian a?
4th right aortic arch
what arch gives rise to the transverse aortic arch?
left 4th aortic arch
what gives rise to the proximal pulmonic artery?
Proximal Right and left 6th aortic arch
what gives rise to the ductus arteriosis?
distal L 6th aortic arch
Ductus venosus
connects placenta with hepatic artery at IV before going into RA. Mixes oxygenated blood from placenta with deoxygenated blood from fetal circulation
what portion of blood pumped into the RA gets pumped out RV?
2/3 - gets pumped through the pulmonary valve (not all into the lungs though). 1/3 goes through foramen ovale into the LA.
Ductus arteriosus
shunt from Right pulmonary A to the aorta.
what percent of Ventricular blood goes through the ductus arteriosus?
55-60%; only 6-8% goes through the lungs
Risk factors for patent ductus arteriosus?
Premature if less than 29 weeks or under 1000 grams has higher than 70% incidence. High elevation. Maternal rubella infection
Usual closure of ductus arteriosus
occurs 10-15 hours with functional closure, then anatomic closure 2-3 weeks old. >98% are closed completely at 1 year
Functional closure vs. Anatomic closure of ductus arteriosus.
Functional: contraction and cellular migration to lumen of medial smooth muscle. Anatomical: vascular remodeling. Proliferation of elastic membrane of ductus imtima and media to form mucoid lakes that form a **hyaline mass to occlude y lumen.
