muscular atrial septum

106
Q

What will differential growth never be able to do in the partitioning of the heart?

A

Will never fully close a lumen

Needs new tissue for that to happen

107
Q

What is endocardium cushion tissue in the partitioning of the heart?

A

Formation of New CT that occurs in the

AV region
&
Outflow tract

108
Q

What will the endocardium cushion tissue form in the partitioning of the hart?

A

Makes

FIBROUS (membranous) portions of atrial and ventricular septum
and
conotruncal ridges of outflow tract

109
Q

What is fibrous septa formed by?

A

By myocardial synthesis and secretion of molecules into cardiac jelly that induces the formation, migration and proliferation of new mesenchymal cells

110
Q

What are the new mesenchymal cells derived from and what will they make?

A

From endocardium to make Endocardial cushion tissue

111
Q

Wha is the Role of the Endocardial Cushion tissue in the AV region?

How?

A

Separates atrium from ventricle

Superior and inferior ECTS fuse at middle and form Atrioventricular septum

112
Q

How does Endocardial Cushion tissue helps formation of HEart valves?

A

Provides mesenchyme

needed to anchor heart valves and contribute to cardiac skeleton

113
Q

117
Q

What will the aorticopulmonary septum form?

A

Aorta

Pulmonary a.

118
Q

Why do we need a leaky barrier between atria in the embryo?

Aortic arch 3 and 4

142
Q

How is the outflow tract partitioned?

A

Via myocardializaton that shifts AV canal to the right

143
Q

What does shifting the AV canal to the right do?

A

Makes the fusing AV cushions meet near region of forming muscular interventricular septum

Separate ventricles into r and l sides
But allows for blood from atrium to still get to both side

144
Q

What is myocardializatoin?

A

Outer myocardial wall is thinned
as myocardial cells are replaced by cushion cells and

Creates conotruncal septum

149
Q

What does the conotruncal septum do?

How?

A

Divides the outflow tract

Will come from upper truncus and turn 180 degrees to become parallel to the interventricular septum

150
Q

How is ventricular septation completed?

A

Conotruncal ridges fuse w/ each other and then w/ interventricular septum and coincide w/ downgroth of cushion tissue from AV septum

—>  (R—> L) shunting 
—> Cyanosis 
—> COngestive heart failure
159

  1. Ostium II or HIgh atrial septal defect
  2. Common atria
  3. Ostium I or Low atrial septal defect
160
Q

What is a Ostium II or High atrial septal defect?

A

◦ 90% of ASDs
◦ Hole in atrial septum bc
‣ 1. Excessive absorption of septum I forms an overly large ostium II
‣ 2. Inadequate development of septum II

161
Q

What is a Common Atria Atrial Septal defect?

A

No septa formed

162
Q

What is a OStium I or Low Atrial Septal Defect?

A

Failure of up-growth of AV cushion tissue from AV septum and DMP to fill in ostium primum

163
Q

What is cyanosis?

A
  • Bluish coloration of the skin due to the presence of deoxygenated blood mixing w/ oxygenated blood
    * Continues tot he point that is lowers the overall oxygen content and is insufficient for normal tissue physiology.
164
Q

What are the Sxs of cyanosis?

A

◦ Clubbing of fingers
◦ blue fingernail beds and lip
◦ Fatigues easily
◦ seen in patients w/ O2 sats below 90%

165
Q

What does a Ventricular Septal Defect result from?

A

Failure of proper closure by abnormal or inadequate fibrous tissue (95% of time)

166
Q

What are the symptoms of Ventricular Septal Defects?

A
  • begins acyanotic (L—> R shunt)
  • becomes Cyanotic as RV hypertrophies bc of its increased work load
  • RV hypertropies
  • R—> L side shunt = cyanosis
167

A

Downgrowth of AV septum

Proper formation of conotruncal ridges

Interventricular muscular septum formation

168
Q

What is persistent truncus arteriosus result from?

A

Failure of conotruncal ridge formation and fusion leaving Truncus undivided

(Truncus becomes aorticopulmonary septum—> aorta and pulmonary a.)

If left undivided, O2 rich and poor blood mix

169
Q

What is the Tetralogy of Fallot result from?

What are the consequences?

A

Conotruncal ridges form off-center causing unequal divisions of pulmonary trunk and aorta

	◦ VSD - no fibrous portion
	◦ Pulmonary infundibular stenosis 
	◦ Overriding aorta
	◦ RV hypertrophies in fetus bc of small pulmonary opening 
		‣ RV hypertrophy —> R—>L shunting —> cyanosis

Aorta - RV

Shunts but prognosis is poor

172
Q

What is Pulmonary Valvular Atresia?

How does blood travel?

A

Fused semilunar valves that causes RV hypoplasia

Blood goes thru patent foramen ovale to left side and then Ductus arteriosus allows blood to get to lungs
Or w/ VSD blood can get to LV and be pumped out of aorta (even if blood is mixed)

173
Q

What is Aortic Valvular Stenosis?

A

Narrowing of aortic valve leading to hypertrophy of LV and eventual cardiac failures

174
Q

4x more frequent in males

176
Q

What is a bicuspid aortic valve?

What are the consequences?

What can this lead to?

A

Only 2 leaflets (either only 2 formed, or all 3 formed but 2 fused)

Regurgitation or stenosis

Can lead to LV hypertrophy and development of aortic aneurysm

177
Q

What is Aortic valvular Atreisa?

A

Complete fusion of valves that leads to LV hypoplasia

Ductus arteriosus will form as only way O2 blood can get out to body

RV will hypertrophy

178
Q

What is Tricuspid Atresia?

What does this cause?

A

No right AV orifice and fused tricuspid valves

Patency of foramen ovale w/ a VSD
Underdeveloped RV (bc no blood going to it)
LV hypertrophy (all blood going to it)
Patent ductus arteriosus

179
Q

What is a hypoplastic left ventricle?

How does a heart work with this?

A

LV is underdeveloped w/ small or absent bicuspid and aortic valves

(causes blood to flow back into RV thru foramen ovale and be sent out to body via patent ductus arteriosus)

Heart works as univentricular Heart with RV doing all the work
