Final Embryo - Heart Development Flashcards
This is when splanchnic mesoderm cells cluster together to form a solid horseshoe-shaped cord of endothelial cells
vasculogenesis
Where does the horseshoe shaped endothelial cord form
within cardiac mesoderm
True or False
The cardiac system is the last system that becomes functioning in an embryo
False; it is the first functioning system
When does the horseshoe shaped endothelial cord hollow out
in the 4th week
How does the horseshoe shaped endothelial cord form a single heart tube
via the folding of the lateral sides of the endothelial tube in ventrally and medially approaching each other at the midline to fuse
Upon lateral folding to form the heart tube, what else fuses
paired dorsal aortae
This repositions the developing heart and pericardial cavity
head folding
prior to head folding, the heart is located where
rostral to oropharyngeal membrane
ventral to pericardial cavity
post head folding, the heart is located where
caudal to oropharyngeal membrane
dorsal to pericardial cavity
ventral to foregut
rostral to spetum transversum (diaphragm)
This acts like a “hinge” in head folding to reposition the heart
oropharyngeal membrane
As the dorsal mesocardium degenerates (day 22), what forms
transverse pericardial sinus
space behind the aorta and pulmonary trunk
What are the layers of the primitive heart tube from deep to superficial
endothelium cardiac jelly myocardium epicardium pericardial cavity parietal pericardium
All of the layers of the primitive heart tube are derived from what
splanchnic mesoderm
At what day does the heart begin to beat
Day 22 or 23
What are the dilations of the primordial heart tube
sinus venosus primordial atrium primordial ventricle conus cordis truncus arteriosus
The sinus venous forms what structures in adults
coronary sinus
sinus venarum
The primordial atrium forms what structures in adults
right and left auricles
portions of the atria
The primordial ventricle forms what structure in adults
left ventricle
The conus cordis forms what structures in adults
outflow tract of the ventricles
caudal (proximal) portion of forms right ventricle
The truncus arterioles forms what structures in adults
pulmonary trunk
aorta
What to primitive structures form the bulbs cordis
truncus arteriosus
conus cordis
This is between the primordial atrium and primordial ventricle
atrioventricular sulcus
atrioventricular canal
This is between the primordial ventricle and conus cordis
bulboventricular sulcus
primary interventricular foramen
Where does the blood flow after the bulbs cordis
aortic sac then pharyngeal arch arteries
When does the formation of the cardiac loop/heart folding takes place when
Days 22-28
