embryology of the cvs Flashcards
what are the four stages of heart development?
primitive heart tube
heart looping
atrial and ventricular septation
outflow tract septation
what forms the circulatory system in the 3rd week
lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm
what forms two primitive heart tubes?
Angiogenic cell islands collect in
the lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm, move towards the midline and coalesce
whats the first major system to function in the embryo?
cvs
when does the primordial heart start to function?
4th week
where do blood vessels start to appear?
wall of yolk sac, allantois, connecting stalk and chorion
what are angioblastic cords?
paired endothelial strands
when does the angioblastic cords form?
3rd week
what canalises to form heart tubes?
angioblastic cords
what forms primordial cvs?
Tubular heart joins blood vessels in other areas
what is the pericardium derived from?
intra-embryonic coelom
whats the visceral layer of serous pericardium derived from?
splanchnic mesoderm
what are the terms in a fused primitive heart tube
truncus arteriosus bulbus cordis ventrical atrium sinus venosus
how many horns does sinus venosus have?
2
how does each horn of sinus venosus get venous blood?
Each horn gets venous blood from:
yolk sac (=vitelline v.)
placenta (=umbilical v.)
body of the embryo (=common cardinal v.)
where does aortic arch arise from?
aortic sac
where does the aortic arch terminate?
dorsal aorta
what forms the bulboventricular loop?
Bulbus cordis and ventricle
what way does the heart loop to?
left
what is dextrocardia?
when heart loops to right side of body
whats the function of the Endocardial cushion formation
separates right atrium + ventricle from
left atrium +ventricle to form L&R AV canals
whats the funtion of the Septum formation
separates right atrium from left atrium
+ right ventricle from left ventricle
when does the partitioning of primitive atrium into left and right atria start?
end of weeek 4
what are the two septum and two foramina developings during the partition?
) Septum primum & foramen primum
2) Septum secundum & foramen secundum
what is the septum primum?
the sickle shaped crest that grows from roof of atrium.
this growth generates foramen primum
where is the foramen secundum formed?
upper end of the septum primum
where does the septum secundum fold on to?
) forms on the right of septum primum.
where does the septum scandium grow down to
grows down and overlaps the foramen secundum
where does foramen secundum open in ?
septum primum
where doesforamen ovule open in ?
septum secundum
whats the role of oval foramen before birth?
Allows most of the blood to pass from the right atrium to the left atrium (non functioning lung)
Prevents the passage of blood in the opposite direction
whats the role of oval foramen after birth?
Normally closes (increased pulmonary blood flow and shift of pressure to the left atrium)
Septum primum (= valve of oval foramen) fuses with the septum secundum
Oval fossa (fossa ovalis) of adult heart is a remnant of foetal oval foramen
Non closure results in Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) – “Hole in the heart”
what are the four types of atrial septal defects?
Foramen secundum defect
Endocardial cushion defect with foramen primum defect
Sinus venosus defect
Common atrium
The first two types are more common
which gender is more likely to get ASD
females
what is the opening called in muscular ventricular septum?
interventricular foramen
what fuses to form membranous inter ventricular septum?
Bottom of spiral aorticopulmonary septum fuses with muscular ventricular septum
