Histo and Embryo Cardio-Reynolds Flashcards
what are the main functions of the CV system?
–Transportation
–Regulation (homeostasis)
–Protection
arteries
blood away from the heart
veins
carries return blood towards the heart
what is the first functioning organ in humans?
heart
heart starts beating at ?
pumps blood at ?
starts to beat at day 22
pumps blood by day 24 or 25
most heart development occurs while
heart is pumping blood
(remodeling and septation)
heart starts as a
tube of contractile mycocardium lined by endothelium (endocardium)
cardiogenic field is established
cranaial to the neural plate (brain)
cardiogenic field is
arera of heart formation
the heart forms from the
visceral (splanchnin) layer of lateral plate mesoderm
- heart forms a horseshoe-shaped tube in front of the brain
_______ folding brings the two sides of the cardiac region to the midline to fuse
lateral body
cardiac looping
is the process the heart tubes fold extensively on its self to develop it’s normal shape at 28 days
heart is a ____ intially
solid tube
cardiogenic region shape
horseshoe shape
Ductus venosus
liver
- regulates blood presure/flow from placenta to the heart
- can contract and counteract mother’s internal presure
Foramen ovale
heart
shunt btwen L and R atrium, allows for bypass of lungs
ductus arteriosus
great vessels
connects the pulmonary artery with the aortic arch
in prenatal CV
placenta takes place of the lungs
shunting of blood
(ductus venosus, foramen ovale, ductis arteriosus)
- shifting of blood from one area to the next
- they become ligaments after birth
- trying to get as much blood away from pulmonary circuit
interatrial septum is formed by the fusion of
the septum primum and the semptum secundum
septum primum
forms on day 28 extends into the atrium from the cranial dorsal wall
(contains foramen primum and secundum)
foramen primum
exists before septum primum attaches
(on septum primum)
foramen secundum
forms by apoptosis of the septum primum
septum secundum
grows by looping and leaves an open foramen ovale
