Heart Flashcards
what is skeletal muscle formed from
periaxial mesoderm

visceral lateral plate mesoderm
When does the cardiovascular system form?
mid 3rd week
What does CPC stand for?
cardiac progenitor cells
Why does the cardiovascular system form in the third week?
the trophoblast cannot satisfy the blastocyst’s nutritional rqeuirements by diffusion only

neural crest cells
CPC are induced by ____ to form ____ and _____
endoderm
myoblasts, hemangioblasts
What form the blood islands?
Hemangioblasts
Where are blood islands formed?
primary and secondary heart fields
what do blood islands form? (two things)
numerous primitive blood vessels (endothelial lined tubes) & blood stem cells
What do the numerous endothelial lined tubes unite and form?
right & left larger endothelial-lined tubes
Myoblasts from VLPM attach to what tubes?
endothelial lined tubes
ASD appears in what location of atrial septum?*
center of atrial septum
the primary and secondary cardiac field fuse together and form what?
a single aorta & 1 pericardial cavity
What does cardiac jelly form?
cardiac mesenchyme
What does cardiac mesenchyme form?
atrial and ventricular septation
What moves the primitive heart from dorsal to ventral position?
head fold
The head fold pushes the primitive heart in what direction
from dorsal to ventral
The truncus arteriosus will eventually become what?
aorta & pulmonary trunk
The sinus venousus will eventually become what?
atria
Lateral folding fuses what 2 things together?
2 large endoethelial lined heart tubes
2 dorsal aorta
The endothelial lined heart tubes are fused everywhere except:
truncus arteriosus
Initially the heart is connected dorsally to the pericardial cavity by what?
dorsal mesocardium
What happens as the heart bulges into the pericardial cavity?
the attachment to the dorsal mesocardium rips away
when the heart rips away from dorsal mesocardium what does it form?
transverse pericardial sinus
After the transverse pericardial sinus is formed, what end is heart tube suspended from?
rostral end
what is the rostral end of the heart called (in the beginning, right after transverse pericardial sinus is formed)?
truncus arteriosus (atrial end)
What is the caudal end of the heart called (in the beginning, right after transverse pericardial sinus is formed)?
sinus venosus (venous end)
How is the heart suspended at the caudal end (as the heart is elongating into the pericardial cavity)?
by septum transversum - the venous end goes into it
What is the cardiac jelly involved in forming?
heart septas/walls and connective tissue skeleton of heart
What is located b/w the inner endothelial tube & outer myocardium?
cardiac jelly
What two things does epicardium form?
most of visceral pericardium & coronary arteries
What makes up the myoepicardial mantle?
epicardium and the myocardium
What does endocardium form?
endothelial heart tube (progenitor heart cells)
What does myocardium form?
progenitor heart cells + surrounding visceral lateral plate mesoderm
what does epicardium form?
visceral pericardium
coronary arteries - endothelium & smooth muscles
what does cardiac jelly form?
cardiac mesenchyme
CT skeleton of heart
What forms the primitive right ventricle?
bulbus cordis
What forms the mid part of bulbus cordis & outflow tracks of both ventricles?
conus cordis
What forms the distal part of bulbus corids & proximal aorta & pulmonary trunk?
truncus arteriosus
What forms b/w the conus cordis & tuncus arteriosus to separate them into aorta & pulmonary trunk?
endocardial cushions form conotruncal/bulbar ridge with conotruncal septum (neural crest) (pg 10)
What will the aortic sac form?
distal aorta
The growth of bulbus cordis is controlled by what?
neural crest cells
What day does the heart tube begin to bend? (and week)
day 23 ,week 4
What direction does the heart tube fold?
counter clockwise
What causes the heart to fold counterclockwise?
the bulbus cordis and primitive left ventricle grow faster than other parts of tube
What is the name of the congenital defect where heart apex is located on right side of body due to improper rotation (clockwise) of the heart tube?
Dextrocardia
Describe Dextrocardia
Rotates CW instead of CCW
congenital defect where heart apex is located on right side of body due to improper rotation (clockwise) of the heart tube
What is Dextrocardia of embryonic arrest?
heart is shifted slightly more to right than normal
What is Dextrocardia situs invertus?
heart is a mirror image of normal heart but on right side
What is dextrocardia situs invertus totalis?
the viscera is reversed, but is it rarely perfectly reversed so usually associated with congenital heart defects
