Exam 1 CV Flashcards
what tissue type is the heart mostly derived from
mesoderm
when does heart development start
end of 3rd week
when does the fetal heart start beating
during 4th week (22 days)
when does fetal blood start circulating
during 3rd week
when is the “critical period of development” for fetus
days 20-50 after fertilization
where does heart tube development begin
clusters of angiogenic cells in the cardiogenic plate that coalesce to form R and L endocardial tubes..these tubes then fuse together
when do the R and L endocardial tubes fuse
21 days
what are primitive partitions of chambers (and valves) called
endocardial cushions
name sections of primitive heart (before looping) from inferior to superior
sinus venosus, primitive atrium, primitive ventricle (inlet), bulbus cordis (outlet), truncus arteriosus
in which direction does looping proceed
to the right
what is abnormal looping associated with
isomeric cardiac lesions
when is the cardiac loop complete
by day 28
what is dextrocardia the result of
looping goes left instead of right
what is dextrocardia sometimes associated with
situs inversus (all organs are on opposite side)
when does septation occur
during second month
what is the role of the septum primum
reduces bloodflow from right atrium to left atrium by closing the foramen primum
what happens when foramen primum is closed
apoptosis occurs in the septum primum and the foramen secundum is formed so that oxygenated blood can be delivered to left atrium
what is the purpose of the septum secundum
it overlaps the foramen secundum in order to provide a one-way valve from right atrium to left atrium so that blood only flows in that direction (foramen ovale)
where does oxygenated blood travel from placenta
across foramen ovale to left atrium and out aorta; and to pulmonary vasculature
what are the endocardial cushion defects
ASD, VSD, tetralogy of fallot, transposition of great vessels
when does ventricular septation begin
42 days
how are AV valves formed
endocardial cushions get resorbed and invagination and dehiscence of myocardium form valves and tensor apparatus
how are semilunar valves formed
ingrowth from truncal wall
what are the “2 big issues” of the developing fetal vascular system
developing lungs must be bypassed, and proliferating tissue has increased oxygen demand
how does oxygenated blood enter fetal circulation
umbilical vein
what is the main collecting chamber for blood in fetal heart
sinus venosus
how does blood exit fetal heart
pumped through aortic arches before passing through paired dorsal aortae
how are fetal tissues supplied with blood
efferent segmental arteries
how is mixed blood returned to placenta for oxygenation
via umbilical arteries (endpoint of dorsal aortae)
how is blood drained from developing tissues
via cardinal veins
where is deoxygenated blood mixed and returned to circulation
sinus venosus
what supplies blood to yolk sac
vitelline arteries
what do vitelline arteries become
mesenteric arteries
what supplies foregut derivatives
celiac artery
what supplies midgut derivatives
SMA
what supplies hindgut derivatives
IMA
what do the vitelline veins become
IVC, superior mesenteric vein, hepatic vein
when is umbilical cord formed
week 5
what vessels does the umbilical cord contain
2 arteries and 1 vein
what is Wharton’s jelly
loose, proteoglycan-rich matrix that embeds the umbilical vessels
what are the arterial system defects
PDA, coarctation, double aortic arch, vascular rings
what are the venous system defects
double IVC or SVC, absence of IVC or SVC
when is the heart and circulatory system fully functional
16 weeks
3 major features of fetal circulation
maternal circulation operates via placenta and provides bloodflow to fetus
foramen ovale allows blood to shunt from right atrium to left atrium
ductus arteriosus allows deoxygenated blood to flow from pulmonary artery to aorta and to body
what is the purpose of the ductus arteriosus
to prevent circulatory overload in lungs and to allow the RV to strengthen
what is the ductus venosus
fetal blood vessel that connects umbilical vein to IVC that carries mostly oxygenated blood
oxygen saturation of placental blood
80%
what happens where the ductus venosus meets the IVC
oxygenated blood from the ductus venosus mixes with deoxygenated blood from the body and the mixture travels through the IVC to the right atrium
course of the umbilical vein
travels along anterior abdominal wall to liver (50% of blood enters liver, 50% bypasses liver via ductus venosus)
course of blood through fetal heart
most blood entering the right atrium gets shunted to left atrium via foramen ovale but a small portion enters pulmonary circulation (limited by high resistance in pulm. circulation) in order to perfuse lungs
places in fetal circulation where oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix
liver, IVC, RA, LA, entrance of ductus arteriosus into descending aorta
circulatory changes at birth
initial inflation of lungs reduces resistance of pulmonary bloodflow, which increases pulmonary bloodflow and therefore bloodflow into RA/RV. There is also decreased bloodflow across foramen ovale as well as increased LA pressure and decreased RA pressure, causing foramen ovale to close
what is the most common malignancy of childhood
ALL
what is the most common lab finding in ALL
neutropenia with decreases in at least 2 cell lines
what is the most common presentation of beta thalassemia major
normal at birth with symptoms presenting during the first year: anemia, poor growth, skeletal changes, hepatosplenomegaly
what anemias present in a newborn
hemolytic, maternal factors, prematurity
what anemias present in an infant/toddler
IDA, nutritional, blood loss, leukemia, hemolytic
what anemias present in a child
IDA, nutritional, blood loss, leukemia, malabsorption
what anemias present in a teenager
blood loss, malabsorption
when does HSP present
age 2-7 (boys)
