Heart development Flashcards
where are the cardiac progenitor cells derived from?
intra-embryonic mesoderm
splanchopleuric
what forms in the splanchnic mesoderm?
a horseshoe shape develops as the cariogenic region
on either side of the neural plate
what happens on day 19?
the endocardial tubes begin to develop on each side and grow
what happens to the two endocardial tubes?
lateral folding results in the merging of the two tubes to form the primitive heart
pushed into the thoracic cavity
five distinct regions of primitive heart tube from head to tail
trunks arteriosus, conus cordis, primitive ventricle, primitive atrium and sinus venosus
what will the truncus arteriosus form?
aorta and pulmonary artery
bulbus cordis structures
right ventricle
primitive ventricle will form
the left ventricle
primitive atrium will form
front parts of the left and right atria
what will the sinus venous form?
posterior part of the right atrium, SAN and coronary sinus
at what day does the heart begin contracting ?
22
where does the blood pump?
initially all venous blood moves into the sinus venous and then to the truncus arteriosus
how does the heart tube position change?
- begins in the cariogenic area in front of the oropharyngeal membrane and neural plate
- growth of brain pushes the heart into the chest
what keeps the heart in the right position?
mesodermal tissue fold called the dorsal mesoderm
initial tissues of gut tube
myocardium thickens and secretes a thick layer of rich extracellular matrix called cardiac jelly which separates the endothelium
mesothelial cells from pericardium migrate to form the epicardium
heart tube formed with inner endocardium lining and outer myocardial epicardium
what happens at day 23?
cardiac looping begins
explain looping
bulbs cordis moves ventrally and caudally and to the right
primitive ventricle moves dorsally, cranially and to the left
what happens to the atria?
left sinus horn recedes to form coronary sinus into the right atria
enlarged right sinus horn is absorbed by the growing right atrium and eventually forms part of the inferior vena cava
left atria combine with pulmonary veins
