Heart development Flashcards
The heart tube remains attached to the dorsal side of the pericardial cavity by
the dorsal
mesocardium
• Later, dorsal mesocardium disappears forming————————- which connects both sides of the pericardial cavity
the transverse sinus of the pericardium
Development of heart & embryonic blood vessels begin —————-
week of gestation.
during the 3rd
Cardiac progenitor cells lies in
These cells lie in the epiblast
They migrate through the
primitive streak
Cells reside within the
splanchnic (visceral) layer of lateral plate mesoderm (Cardiogenic field).
• The cells lie——-the buccopharyngeal membrane and
neural plate
anterior to (rostral)
The heart primordium arises predominantly from
splanchnic layer of lateral plate
mesoderm
The progenitor cells are transformed into
the cardiac myoblasts
The cardiac myoblasts will later form the
myocardium of the heart
Vasculogenesis : Blood islands appear in the splanchnic layer of mesoderm
to form the blood cells and
blood vessels
• The blood islands unite and form a
horseshoe-shaped endothelial-lined heart tube
surrounded by myoblasts
The horseshoe-shaped cardiogenic cords is s surrounded
myoblasts
The intraembryonic cavity over the cardiogenic field develops into the
pericardial
cavity
The horseshoe-shaped cardiogenic cords later develop into
2 endothelial –lined
tubes
Effect of cephalic and lateral folding After cephalic folding, the cardiogenic area becomes———
buccopharyngeal membrane
ventral & caudal
• After the lateral folding, the 2 endocardial tubes except at most —— end
fuse ———— caudal
• Most caudal regions
receive the venous drainage (inflow tract).
Most cranial region
expand and join to the 2 dorsal aortae (outflow
tract)
The developing heart bulges more into the
pericardial cavity
The heart tube remains attached to the dorsal side of the pericardial cavity by
the dorsal
mesocardium
Later, dorsal mesocardium disappears forming ————————–which connects both sides of the pericardial cavity
the transverse sinus of the pericardium
Formation of the Primitive 4 Chambered Heart: Single heart tube——
elongates.
It has 2 ends
caudal & cranial ends
• Bulges (dilatations) appear forming
4 chambers
Sinus venosus (RT & LT horns):
receives blood from veins
4 chambers are:
a) Sinus venosus (RT & LT horns) veins.
b) Primitive single atrium.
c) Primitive single ventricle.
d) Bulbus cordis
Bulbus cordis: it leads into
2 dorsal aortae.
Layers forming wall of heart :
- Endocardium
- Myocardium
- Epicardium
Endocardium develops from
the vascular endothelium
Myocardium develops from
the myoblasts
Epicardium develops from
the mesothelial cells migrating from
the sinus venosus
—————-separates the endocardium from the myocardium
Layer of extracellular matrix ( Cardiac jelly)
Causes: continuous elongation
cell shape
different rates of growth in the
of the heart tube
changes
heart tube
The cephalic portion of heart tube bends
ventrally, caudally and to right
The caudal part
shifts dorso-cranially and to the left
When Cardiac looping star to form ?
starts by day 23 & ends by day 28
—– shaped then ——shaped tube is formed
u then s
Narrow atrioventricular canal connects the primitive
atrium & ventricle
Bulboventricular sulcus (between
the bulbus cordis & the ventricle
Proximal 1/3 of bulbus cordis give
trabeculated part (Rough part) of right ventricle.
middle part of bulbus cordis is called
Conus cordis
