Q

What do hemangioblasts form when exposed to vascular endothelial growth factors? What follows?

A

Blood cells and blood islands. Blood islands unite to form paired endothelial lined endocardial heart tubes.

Q

How is the developing heart suspended in the pericardial cavity? What is its fate?

A

Q

What is the direct of blood flow in the primitive heart?

A

Horns of sinus venosus -> Atria (LA) -> Ventricle (LV) -> Bulbis cordis (RA, RV mostly) -> truncus arteriosus (Ao, PA)

18
Q

What happens to the umbilical veins between weeks 4 and 8?

A

The left if left

The right regresses

19
Q

What do the common cardinal veins become between weeks 4 and 8?

A

Brachiocephalic veins

SVC

20
Q

What is the remnants of the left sinus horn?

A

Oblique vein of LA

and coronary sinus

21
Q

What is the remnant of the right sinus horn?

A

Incorporated into RA as SMOOTH walled portion (sinus venarum) of RA

22
Q

What is the crista terminalis?

A

Dividing line between the trabeculated wall (primitive atrium) and smooth wall (from right sinus horn)

23
Q

What is the ductus venosus?

A

Shunt to the liver in fetal circulation

24
Q

What is the foramen ovale?

A

Hole in fetal circulation that shunts blood from the RA to LA.

25
Q

What is the adult remnant of the umbilical vein?

A

Ligamentum teres hepatis

26
Q

What is the adult remnant of the ductus venous?

A

Ligamentum venosum

27
Q

What is the adult remnant of the ductus arteriosus?

A

Ligamentum arteriosum

28
Q

What is the adult remnant of the umbilical arteries?

A

Medial umbilical ligaments

29
Q

What cell types do splanchnic mesoderm give rise to?

A

Cartilage, muscle, connective tissue, vascular network

30
Q

What is the lung bud?

A

Respiratory diverticulum, a down growth of the endoderm tube

31
Q

What is the tracheoesophageal septum?

A

A wall that grows caudally between the respiratory diverticulum bud that develops off the esophagus

32
Q

What is tracheal esophageal atresia?

A

Tracheal esophageal septum is interfered with resulting in a blind ended esophagus.

Lower esophagus may or may not form a fistula with the trachea
