Embryology of the heart Flashcards
The three layers of heart cells: endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium) are all derived from_______
Splanchninc Mesodern
The primordial heart begins to beat at week______
4
What do the 5 chambers contribute to?
- Truncus Arteriosus
- Bulbus Cordis
- Primitive Ventricle
- Primitive Atrium
- Sinus Venosus
- Pulmonary Trunk & aorta
- Smooth part of Right and Left Ventricles
- Rough* part of right and left ventricle
- right and left auricles
- coronary sinus & part of Right atrium
What contributes to the continuity of aorta with left ventricle & the pulmonary trunk with the right ventricle?
Aorticopulmonary Septum
What forms the 3rd, 4th, and 6th aortic arches?
3rd –> Common Carotid & part of internal carotid
4th–>arch of AORTA (from left c.carotid to left subclavian) + right SUBCLAVIAN
6th–> left = PULMONARY artery & DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS
right = right pulmonary artery
Which arctic arch completely disappears?
5th (1st and 2nd almost completely disappear as well)
Where is fetal blood oxygenated?
Placenta
What are 2 of the most common congenital anomalies in the heart?
- Patent oval foramen - connect R& L atrium
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus - conenct Pulmonary Artery to Descending Aorta
(both fail to close)
What disease in the mother is a likely cause of PDA (Patent Ductus Arterioles)?
Rubella infection of the mother
What is:
- Atrial Septal Defects (ASD)
- Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD)?
- ASD = Patent Foramen Ovale
2. VSD = in membranous part, most COMMON Congenital HEART DEFECT
What is the term for cyanotic heart disease?
Transposition of great vessels
What is Fallot’s Tetralogy? What are the 4 features?
**Abnormal division of Truncus Arteriosus (pulmonary trunk & aorta)
- most common cyanotic (blue baby) heart lesion
4 features:
- Overriding Aorta
- Pulmonary Stenosis
- VSD
- Hypertrophy of RIGHT VENTRICLE
How does one detect VSD?
heart auscultations (heart murmur will be found)
What is an abnormal position of the heart classified as?
- DEXTOCARDIA
- right sided heart*
From what does the uterus and uterine tubes develop from in the female?
What about the male?
- Paramesonephric Ducts
2. Mesonephric Ducts (stimulated by the release of testosterone by the INTERSTITIAL CELLS)
What do stroll cells produce?
Mullerian Inhibiting Substance
Which pharyngeal ARCH disappears?
5th
What are the components of the brachial apparatus?
CAP
Clefts= Ectoderm
Arches= Mesoderm LINING INSIDE
Pouches= Endoderm
