Heart Development Flashcards
where is the cardiogenic area during the third week of development?
above the neural plate and oropharyngeal membrane
primary heart field
location and composition
progenitor heart cells have migrated and formed the horseshoe shaped primary heart field located in the SPLANCHNIC LAYER OF LATER PLATE MESODERM
secondary heart field
located caudal to the primary heart field in the splanchnic mesoderm prior to foldind and will give rise to most of the outflow track and the right ventricle
endocardial cells
cardiac progentior cells give rise to these endocardial cells that LINE INTERIOR OF HEART.
what lines the interior of the heart/endocardium?
epithelium! from the cardiac progenitor cells of the lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm
what moves the developing endocardial tubes to the thoracic region?
descent of the heart is progressively initated by the head folding
epicardium made from?
migrating cells derived from the proepicardial organ. they migrate over the entire myocardium, eventually forming the epicardium
proepicardial organ
gives rise to the epicardium of the heart and coronary vessels, cardiac fibroblasts
epicardium derived cells form what?
coronary vascular smooth muscle and cardiac fibroblasts (interstitial cells)
three main things the heart develops from
- splanchnic mesoder - primary and secondary heart fields
- neural crest cells
- proepicardium - epicardium, coronary vessels, and fibroblasts (coronary vascular smooth muscle)
when does body folding occur?
3-4 weeks
beginning of heart development where are the outlfow and inflow tracts?
caudal end is receiving end and cranial is the outflow
- MIXING OF DEOXY AND OXY AT THIS POINT
dorsal mesocardium
in early heart development this attaches the heart tube to the dorsal side of the pericardial cavity
suspends the heart in the paracardial cavity
when does heart begin beating?
day 22 of development
transverse pericardial sinus
from the dorsal mesocardium. as it breaks down it forms this cavity/sinus which LIBERATES the tube for further growth and cardiac looping
where does the cranial (arterial end) attach?
pharyngeal arches
where does the caudal end (atrial/venous portion) attach?
embedded in the septum transversum
5 dialtions of heart through development
- Sinus Venous
- Primitive atrium
- Primitive ventricle
- Bulbus cordis (proximal and distal)
- Truncis arteriousis
Sinus venous
Left/right sinus horns that intitially receives three paired veins
primitive atrium
rise to the L and R atria
primitive ventricle
left ventricle
bulbus cordis (proximal and distal (conus cordis)
Proximal = right ventricle
Distal = smooth wall of outflow track of right ventricle = conus arteriousis and left ventricle = aortic vestibule)
PART OF OUTFLOW TRACT
Truncis arteriousis
proximal ascending aorta, pulmonary trunk
symmetry of heart early in development
bilaterally symmetric
dextral looping
cardiac looping and the heart will become asymmetric
where is rapid growth occuring - initiating the cardiac looping?
PROXIMAL BULBOUS cordis and primitive ventricle
cause of differential growth in cardiac looping?
by the primtive ventricle (left) and the proximal bulbis cortis (right)
displacement of the bulbous cordis
caudally, ventrally, and to the RIGHT
displacement of the primitive ventricle
to the left (left is left)
displacement of the primitive atrium
dorsally and cranially
after folding where is the truncoconal region?
toward the midline
the truncis arteriosis is in midline
blood flow early in development
- sinus venosus
- atrium
- ventricle
- outflow tract
- aortic sac
with mixture of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood
