Q

Process of Extraembryonic vasculogenesis, what cells accomplish this and when does it begin

A

begins day 17 in mesoderm next to the endoderm yolk sac wall

this process is coupled with hematopoiesis (blood cell formation)

hemangioblasts differentiate to created Hematopoietic progenitor cells and endothelial precursor cells

these cells make blood islands that lengthen and connect to make vascular network

3rd week have vascularized yolk sac wall, connecting stalk, and chronic villi

Q

what do definitive hematopoietic stem cells do

A

programmed hemogenic endothelial cells of the dorsal aorta in the aortic-gonadal-mesonephric (AGM) region

these cells seed the liver day 30 and make myeloid (fetal and adult erythrocytes) and lymphoid cell lineages

then finally they go out to populate the lymph organs and bone marrow

Q

Intraembryonic vasculogenesis

A

with the exception of the AGM region, blood vessel formation within the embryo is not coupled with hematopoiesis

starts by day 18, vessel formation occurs in the intraembryonic splanchopleuric mesoderm

subset of these cells differenticate into endothelial precursor cells to proliferate and differentiate into endothelial cells making the angioplastic plexus

this also occurs in the paraxial mesoderm as well due to migration of the EPCs

Q

what are the four ways the angioplastic plexus grows and spreads

A

1) continued proliferation of endothelial precursor cells
2) angiogenesis, the budding and sprouting of new vessesl from existing ones
3) intussusception: splitting of a existing vessel
4) recruitment of new mesodermal cells into walls of existing vessels

First Heart field

A

first seen with the formation of EPCs clusters that are arranged in a horseshoe shape within the cardiogenic area of intraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm

also called the cardiac crescent

Q

how does anterior/posterior folding affect the primary heart field

A

the primary heart field and coelom become folded beneath the embryo pulling in endoderm to help form the foregut

the limbs of the first heart field now lie ventral to the foregut and dosal to the coelom

Meanwhile the EPCs differentiate into endothelial cells making the primitive endocardial tubes

Q

How does the lateral folding affect the primary heart field

A

brings the two forming heart tubes together, thus the endocardial heart tubes fuse at the midline with the adjacent cardiogenic mesoderm to form a simble tubular heart

then the heart sinks into the pericardial cavity

the cranial ends of the developing dorsal aorta are dragged ventrally to make a loop making the first aortic arch

Q

Morphologically the heart consists of what 5 structures when first beginning contraction

A

Sinus venosus: right and left sinus horns, draining into each horn is umbilical horn, vitelline vein (blood from gut), and common cardinal vein (venous blood from head and trunk)

Primitive atrium: region between vsinus venosus and ventricle

Atrioventricular region: area seperating primitive atrium and primitive ventricle

Primitive ventricle: early left ventricle, delineated from future right ventricle by construction of interventricular sulcus

Outflow tract: portion between primtive ventricle and aortic sac

Aortic sac or root: eventually become the great vessels.

22
Q

what does the initial outflow tract form, what does myocardium at the cranial end form, and what does the distal most end of the outflow tract form

A

initial outflow: right ventricle

cranial end myocardium: conus arteriosus (outflow portion of both ventricles)

distal end outflow: forms the truncus arteriosus (aorta and pulmonary artery)

23
Q

how does the lengtheining of the cardiac tube occur during cardiac looping

A

accomplished by the development of a second heart field that forms at both ends of the rupturing dorsal mesocardium

Neural crest cells, pharyngeal arch mesoderm, and pharyngeal arch endoderm help maintain the cardiogenic mesoderm proliferation and proper myocardial cell specification

24
Q

Looping anomalies: Ventricular inversion

A

primitive ventricle folds to the right and the outflow tract ends up on the left generating a rightsided left ventricle

25
Q

Looping anomalies: two forms of Heterotaxia

A

any abnormal left right development of either some or all organs (often seen in immobile cilia syndrome and Kartagener syndrome

Situs inversus: complete reverse symmetry of the heart and GI organs that is often asymptomatic

Situs ambiguous: reversal of some organs.. can be problematic
-Visceroatrial hererotaxia: heart and GI tract are asymetrically arranged from one other. this affects the inflow and outflow tract development which can be life threatening

26
Q

what happenss to the left side of the embryonic vessels and sinuses as the heart grows and loops

A

sinus venosus opening into the primitive atrium begins shifting to the right due to the looping, growth, and hemodynamics

left vitelline vein and left umbilical vein disappear

left sinus venosus and left horn shift their connection to the right half of the common atrium (since atria expansion bigger on the left side of common sinus opening) this helps with net shifit in amount of blood return to right side

left common cardinal vein then disappears

left sinus horn becomes the coronary sinus

27
Q

what happens as the atrium enlarges on the right side?

A

sinus venosus now only opens to the future right atrim via the sinoatrial orifice

right sinus horn and right common cardinal veins are incorporated into the posterior wall of the expanding right atrium

right common cardinal vein becomes the superior vena cava

Right vitelline vein becomes part of the inferior vena cava

Right umbilical vein is lost

pair of tissue flaps develop on either side of the developing opening of the coronary sinus (left and right atrial venous valves)

28
Q

what happens to the left and right valvular folds

A

Left valvular fold becomes incorporated into the interarterial septum

Superior right vavlular fold disappears

inferior part of right valvular fold becomes valve of inferior vena cava

small fold of left sinus horn makes valve of the coronary sinus

29
Q

What is the crista terminalis

A

junction between the pectinate (rough) part of the right atrium and the smoothed wall (sinus venarum- part of sinus venosus incorporated into atria)

30
Q

what does the SA node and AV node come from

A

SA node comes from a portion of the right sinus horn and right common cardinal vein

AV node comes from the similar tissue in the root of the left sinus horn

31
Q

what are the two aspects important in septa formation

A

Differential growth (however this does not fully close off a lumen)

Endocardial cushion tissue: connective tissue in the AV region that makes the fibrous portions of atrial and ventricular septa and conotruncial ridges

32
Q

How does the Atrioventricular septum develop

A

superior and inferior endocardial cushions fuse at the midline to form the atrioventricular septum

subsequent growth up and down from the AV septum contributes to the atrial and ventricular septa as well

cushion cells also provide mesenchyme needed for anchoring the heart valves and contribute to the cardiac skeleton

leflets are freed fromthe walls by cavitation and remodeling of the ventricular myocardium and remnants help form the chordae tendinae and papillary muscles

33
Q

what are the conotruncal ridges and what do they contribute to

A

found in the outflow tract that are part ECT and neural crest cell derived

they divide the conus arteriosus so blood from the LV and RV go out different vessels

also contributes to the fibrous portion of the interventricular septum

also divides the truncus arteriosus to make aorta and pulmonary arteries via formation of the aorticpulmonary septum

34
Q

What is critical about the septum between the atrium and how is this problem solved

A

must be leaky since the left side of the atrium needs the blood so that the left side of the heart doesnt become hypoplastic

also since the lungs have not developed or uninflated the heart can push all the blood through the lungs therefore create two septum in the atria

35
Q

Septum Primum and its other contributers and the holes it has

A

touching of the outflow tract to the atrium during cardiac looping that induces septum I formation

sickle shaped extends from the atrial wall toward the AV septum

also recieves contribution from the dorsal mesenchymal protrusion (DMP) or spina vestibuli (a mesodermal projection emanating from the caudal dorsal mesocardium

the hole in the septum primum near the AV septum called the ostium primum however cushion tissue and DMP forms near the AV and blocks this hole

a new hole will form in septum primum toward the cranial end of the septum called the ostium secundum

36
Q

Septum secundum

A

as the atria contiunues to expand a additional sickle shaped and much thicker septum grows toward the AV region

this will overlap the ostium secundum but as the septa secundum grows it never fully covers the lumen and leaves an opening called the foramen ovalis (ovale)

this makes the septuum primum act as a one way flutter valve allowing for right atrial blood to enter the left atrium but not let the flow go in the opposite direction

37
Q

what happens to septum I and II after a baby takes their first breath

A

pulmonary circulation opens up and increases blood flow to the lungs, this process increases pressure in the left atrium and decreases pressure in RV and RA

the higher pressure on the left vs the right side drives septum I against septum II resulting in a functionally closed septum and eventually seals shut within 3 months of birth

if it does not fuse the patent foramen ovalis (ovale) may cause issues in the future

38
Q

Three types of Atrial septal defects

A

Ostium II or high atrial septal defect: hole in atrial septum caused by either excessive absoprtion of septum I forms an overly large ostium II or Inadequate development of septum II

Common atria: no septa are formed

Ostium I defect or low atrial septal defect: failure of up growth of AV cushion tissue from AV septum and DMP to fill ostium primum

initial left to right shunting because of increased blood flow returning from the lungs and decreased pulmonary resistance

however as time leads on an increased blood flow to lungs leads to pulmonary damage and resistance (pulmonary congestion) RV hypertorphy and eventually congestive heart failure

as the RV hypertrophies a right to left shunt begins and cyanosis appears

can go many years unnoticed depending on degree of severity because of the lower atria pressures

39
Q

cyanosis

A

refers to bluish coloration of skin due to the presence of deoxygenated blood mixing with oxygenated blood

can be seen via clobbing of fingers and bluish fingernail beds and lips

individual also fatigues easily

patients have an oxygen saturation of below 90 percent

40
Q

how much blood actually goes through to the pulmonary circulation in a fetus

A

11-13 percent

this is due to the foramen ovale and the ductus arteriosus

41
Q

how is the ventricular septation created

A

formation of the interventricular septum is made of a muscular part (ventricular wall) and a fibrous part (from cushion tissue of AV cushion and proximal conotruncal ridges

42
Q

mechanism of partitioning outflow tract

A

Aortic arch VI ataches RV to lungs
Aortic arch III and IV connects LV to rest of body

1) shift of AV canal toward right side so that the fusing of the AV cushions meet near the region of the forming interventricular septum.. done via myocardialization (outer myocardial wall is thinned and replaced by cushion cells and futrther apoptosis for remodeling)

2) new cushion tissue forms in outfow tract called conotruncal ridges that spiral down the ventricular septum and fuse to form the conotruncal septum
as this spirals down it makes a 180 degree turn and become parallel with the interventricular septum (these are derived from migrating neural crest cells and endocardial derived cushion tissue. the resut is pulmonary artery connected with RV and aorta connected with LV

3) complete ventricular septation requires fusion of the conotruncal ridges with each other and then with the interventricuar septum and coincident with downgrowth of cushion tissue from the AV septum
4) Proximal root of the outflow tract is eventually incorporated into each ventricle s the ventricle overgrows the conus . spiraling ridges at the truncus/conus junction provide primordia for semilunar valves or aorta and pulmonary trunk

43
Q

Ventricular septal Defects

A

failuure of proper closure by abnormal or inadequate fibrous tissue

starts as a left to right shunt but becomes cyanotic sometime after birth

RV hypertrophies enough so RV pressure builds up and exceeds the left side thus needing a right to left shunt to develop

will die of cardiac failure if not addressed

44
Q

how does double outlet right ventricle occur

A

shift fails of the AV canal both aorta and pulmonary artery exit the right ventricle

lead to cyanosis and breathlessness and murmur

45
Q

Persistent truncus Arteriosus

A

failure of contruncial ridge formation and fusion, pulmonary artery arises some distance away above the undivided truncus and causes a VSD due to the fibrousportion

mixing of left and right ventricle contents giving rise to low degree cyanosis

RV hypertrophy and increased right ventricular pressure and eventual more severe cyanotic condition

46
Q

Tetralogy of Fallot

A

Conotruncal ridges form off center leading to unequal division of pulmonary and aorta

VSD (missing fibrous portion)
Pulmonary infundibular stenosis
Overriding aorta
RV hypertrophies in the fetus due to the small pulmonary opening
increases RV pressure over LV resulting in right to left shunting of blood and leads to cyanosis

47
Q

Transposition of great vessels

A

Conotruncal ridges fail to spiral

pulmonary artery is connected to the LV and the aorta to the Right

survival due to shunts such as VSD, ASD, patent ductus arteriosus

life expectency is 3 years without surgery

48
Q

Pulmonary valvular atresia

A

Semilunar valves are fused leading to RV hypoplasia

Patent foramen ovale then forms as the only outlet for blood on right side to get to left

Patent ductus arteriosus to get blood to lungs

need surgery to open pulmonary valve if the RV is not too weak

can have a VSD and become a univentricular heart

49
Q

Aortic Vavlular stenosis

A

leads to hypertrophy of the LV and eventually cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension, can be congenital, due to a fever, or degenerative

50
Q

Bicuspid aortic valve

A

only two leaflets rather than 3 are formed or three formed but two are fused

leads to regurgitation or later to form a stenosis

starts asymptomatic but eventual leads to LV hypertrophy

associated with aortic aneurysm

51
Q

Aortic Valvular atresia

A

valves are completely fused the LV is underdeveloped (hypoplastic)

wide ductus arteriosus forms to get oxygen rich blood to the left side

RV hypertrophy and blood must go back through a ASD to the right side from the left

needs surgery for survival

52
Q

Tricuspid Atrestia

A

Obliteration of the right AV orifice and fusion of the tricuspid vavles associated with a patent foramen ovale

VSD, and underdeveloped right ventricle and a hypertrophy left ventricle and patent ductust arterisus

can be corrected based on the RV weakness

most likely transplant

53
Q

Hypoplastic keft ventrice

A

LV is underdeveloped with absent or small bicuspid and aortic valve

ascending portion of aorta is underdeveloped and there is a patent ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale

univentricular heart with the right ventricle

need surgery
