cardiovascular system develops?
3rd week
angiogenesis is?
development of new blood vessels
angioblasts
stem cells that give rise to blood vessels
paired vessels form longitudinal vessels in which week?

which structure brings blood from the chorion(placenta)?

describe the process of the development of the heart
2 thin walled endothelial tubes which are a continuation of the 1st aortic arches eventually fuse to form a single tube
what gives the heart an s shape?
the bulbus and ventricle grow faster than the rest of the heart giving it its shape
in order to achieve the heart chambers what are the 2 types of tissue formation?
tissue growth and overgrowth
tissue growth involves 2 or more tissues approaching each other on the same plane
they then fuse together to make 2 chambers- septum
overgrowth of the chamber in the developing ventricle except for narrow strip which does not grow
tissue grows on either side of the strip and walls expand to form septum- overgrowth
what is the sickle shaped crest or roof of atrium
septum primum
what is the opening between septum primum and endocardial cushion?
ostium primum
what is the opening in the septum primum?
ostium secundum
