Fetal Development of the Heart and Head Flashcards
What vessel takes blood from the placenta to the fetus?
umbilical v. (v. because it is heading TOWARDS the fetal heart)
What condition occurs as a result of the spiral septum failing to correctly divide the the truncus arteriosus? What is the consequence?
Transposition of the great vessels
Right ventricle pumps to the aorta
Left ventricle pumps to the pulmonary trunk
The nerve developing in the hyoid arch (pharyngeal arch II) will eventually innervate what mm.?
mm. of facial expression
What is the name of the opening at the rostral and caudal end of the neural tube?
neuropores
What is the name of the second pharyngeal arch?
Hyoid arch
A chieloschisis occurs as a result of tissues failing to fuse. What are the two ways this condition can occur?
- failure of medial nasal prominence and maxillary prominence to fuse (more common)
- failure of left and right medial nasal prominences to fuse (less common)
The lateral palatine processes will give rise to what?
- most of the hard palate
- all of the soft palate
The intermaxillary segment will grow inward into the stomodeum to become the , which then becomes the .
- median palatine process
- primary palate
The fetal nasal cavity is separated from the pharynx by what structure?
oronasal membrane
What is agnathia?
Failure of the mandibular prominence to form, means “no jaw”
During early cardiogenesis, the cardiac tube forms from the fusion of what structures?
2 endocardial tubes from mesoderm
Failure of the palatal structures to fuse is called what?
palatoschisis
What embryonic structures give rise to the structures of the head?
Pharyngeal arches (mesodermal)
Some contribution from the neural crest (from ectodermal neural plate)
What n. arises from the hyoid arch (pharyngeal arch II)?
facial n.
This is an example of what condition?
eyelid agenesis
Failure of the oronasal membrane to break down is called what?
choanal atresia
What skeletal structures will arise from the hyoid arch (pharyngeal arch II)?
Most of the hyoid apparatus
tympanic bulla
stapes of the ear
The nerve developing in pharyngeal arch III will eventually innervate what mm.?
some pharyngeal mm.
The notochord induces what embryonic layer (endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm) to form the neural plate?
ectoderm
What skeletal structure will arise from pharyngeal arch III?
Parts of the hyoid apparatus (basihyoid and thryohyoid)
What n. arises from pharyngeal arch III?
glossopharyngeal n.
What fetal structure is identified by the red overlay? This structure will become the future oral cavity.
stomodeum
Where does the neural tube first close?
occipital region
Nerves developing in the mandibular arch (pharyngeal arch I) will eventually innervate what mm.?
Masticatory mm. (only from mandibular n.)
What is the name of the temporary fissure along the ventral side of the optic cup?
choroid fissure
Does the dorsal portion of the spinal cord contain sensory or motor neurons?
sensory
After it begins to fold, the cardiac tube becomes known as what?
Cardiac loop
What is the name of the outer most layer of the developing spinal cord?
marginal layer
The sixth LEFT aortic arch will become what fetal structure?
ductus arteriosus
This (red arrow) is an example of what condition?
palatoschisis
What are the 4 regions of the cardiac tube?
From top to bottom:
truncus arteriosus
ventricle
atrium
sinus venosus
A Persistent Right Aortic Arch (PRAA) occurs when the fourth RIGHT aortic arch becomes the mature aorta instead of the fourth LEFT aortic arch. Considering that the sixth LEFT aortic arch still becomes the ductus arteriosus, what structure becomes compressed when the ductus arteriosus contracts after birth?
esophagus
PRAA common to dogs. Puppies usually okay until transition to solids at weaning.
