lect 7 & 8-development of heart, vasculature, and lympathics Flashcards
what is the cardiovascular system derived from
mesoderm
what occurs on day 16 of cardiovascular system development
epiblast cells migrate to lateral splanchnic mesoderm
what does FGF8 from the node upregulate
NODAL
why is NODAL restricted to the left side
accumulation of 5-HT on left side
why can’t NODAL cross the midline
due to SHH and Lefty1
what do nodal proteins upregulate
PITX2
what does PITX2 do
gene that codes for a transcription factor that specifies left-sidedness
what is transcription factor inappropriately expressed on the right side leads to situs inverses and dextracardia
PITX2
what is the most cranial cardiac bulge
truncus arteriosus
what is the most caudal cardiac bulge
sinus venosus
what day does the heart begin to pump
Day 22
where is the first flexure of the bulboventricular loop
between the bulbs cordis and primitive ventricle
where does the second flexure of the atrioventricular loop occur
between ventricle and primitive atria
how do primitive atria move
cranial and caudally
when does atrial partitioning begin
day 30
what does the trabeculated bulbs cords become
right ventricle
why does dextracardia occur
inappropriate heart looping
what does the left horn of the sinus venosus become
coronary sinus
what does the right side of the sinus venosus become
sinus venarum
what do pulmonary veins develop from
left atrium
what is the most important transcription factor for partitioning of the AV canal
Retinoid acid
when does persistent AV canal occur
when the AV endocardial cushions fail to fuse
what cardiac disorder is common in individuals with down syndrome
persistent AV canal
what disorder is characterized by a single large valve (as opposed to the tricuspid and mitral valves), causing blood to shunt from the left ventricle to the right, elevating pulmonary pressure
complete AV canal defect
what does the septum primum form from
roof of atrium
what forms at the free edge of the septum primum
foramen (ostium) primum
where does the foramen ovale form
between the upper septum secundum and lower septum primum
how is blood shunted from the right atrium to the left in the embryo
via foramen ovale
why does the flow through the foramen ovale stop after birth
due to increase in left atrium pressure (caused by increased pulmonary return)
what occurs due to a premature closure of the foramen ovale
right side of the heart hypertrophies and left atrophies (usually fatal shortly after birth)
what occurs with membranous ventricular septal defect
faulty fusion of membranous septum leaves opening between left and right ventricles. there is initially a left-right shunting of blood, but pulmonary hypertension increases and reverses it to right a right-left shunting (late onset is eisenmenger complex)
what is the middle part of the bulbs cordis
conus cordis
what is the distal part of the bulbs cordis
truncus arteriosus
what divides the truncus and conus into 2 canals
a sheet of neural crest cells that spirals longitudinally
describe persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA)
results in one large vessel that receives blood from both the right and left ventricles (usually accompanied by VSD and cyanosis)
what are the factors of the tetralogy of fallot
increased outflow in aorta
thickened right ventricle (hypertrophy)
partial obstruction (stenosis) of right ventricular outflow and pulmonary valve)
VSD
how is tetralogy of ballot diagnosed in utero
by ultrasound
where is SA node initially located
in the sinus venosus wall
