Embryology of Heart and Lungs Flashcards
What kind of tissues will the trophoblast form?
Extra embryonic tissue (e.g. placenta)
What cell type will give rise to the amniotic membrane/cavity?
Epiblast, dorsal aspect of the disc
What forms the primitive yolk sac?
Hypoblast, Ventral part of the disc
What week does gastrulation occur?
3
What important things is the cardiac crescent ABOVE? (i.e more cranial)
Oropharyngeal membrane
Developing forebrain
What kind of mesoderm gives rise to all layers of heart progenitors?
Splanchnic
What do hemangioblasts form when exposed to vascular endothelial growth factors? What follows?
Blood cells and blood islands. Blood islands unite to form paired endothelial lined endocardial heart tubes.
How are endocardial primordium cells formed?
Splanchnic mesoderm cells that differentiate into epithelial cells
What secretes cardiac jelly? What is it?
ECM between endothelial cell of heart tube and cardiac myocytes. Secreted by myocardial cells.
What are the venous drainage points and outflow tracts of developing heart when its a tube?
Venous drainage = caudal pole Outflow tract (aortic arch) = cranial pole
How is the developing heart suspended in the pericardial cavity? What is its fate?
Dorsal mesocardium, which ultimately breaks down and gives rise to the transverse pericardial cavity.
What are the cranial and caudal attachments of the developing heart tube?
Cranial = pharyngeal arches Caudal = Transverse septum
What is the direct of blood flow in the primitive heart?
Horns of sinus venosus -> Atria (LA) -> Ventricle (LV) -> Bulbis cordis (RA, RV mostly) -> truncus arteriosus (Ao, PA)
How is the asymmetry of the heart formed?
Bending to the RIGHT as part of dextral looping
Which primitive part of the heart experiences the most differential growth?
Bulbis cordis
