Lecture 19: Embryonic Cardiovascular System Flashcards
cardiogenic mesoderm of heart primordium
epiblast cells ahead of precordal plate that migrate through primitive groove as mesoderm forms, and will become heart
angioblastic cords
pairs of vessels that will make pair of aorta and then fuse to become single aorta
where does heart begin in fetus?
above chest
what comes down to chest during folding
cardiogenic mesoderm, pericardial sac, septum transversum
why no circulation through lungs in fetus
because lungs haven’t formed and no air/oxygen in the lungs, so don’t need blood circulation
therefore blood pumps out of aortic arches, oxygenated blood is used by fetus’s tissues, and then carried back to heart by vein
cranial to caudal, parts of embryonic single heart tube
aortic sac, truncus arteriosis, bulbus cordis, primitive ventricle, primitive atrium, sinus venosus
where veins entering into heart tube go through
from ylk sac, through sinus venosus, to embryonic heart
why single heart tube folding occurs
genes tell heart to fold, and cells proliferate more rapidly on 1 side causing cranial fold
fetal heart circulation
blood goes into sinus spinosis - ventricle - bulbus cordis - aortic sac - 1st pharyngeal arch artery
endocardial cushions
2 mounds of tissue that separate primordial atria from ventricle and divide heart into R and L atrio-ventricular canals
also play role in AV valve formation (mitral, tricuspid)
papillary muscles
hold tissue strands growing from walls of ventricles to endocardial cushion in places
will become the AV valves
interventricular septum
separates R and L ventricles
muscular, membranous parts
muscular part of interventricular septum
ingrowth of cardiac mesoderm that grows toward cardiac cushions
membranous interventricular septum
tissue that grows from endocardial cushions and meets up with muscular part of septum
ventriculo septal defect
in membranous portion of interventricular septum most likely
when thin tissue there doesn’t grow closed properly and so child needs surgery to close it
leaflets that partition right and left primitive atrium
septum primum, septum secundum
septum primum
starts from posterior wall of primitive atrium, grows toward endocardial cushion; as grows, little fenestrations within so blood can get from R to L atria
includes foramen primum and foramen secundum
foramen primum
little space that remains in septum primum so blood can pass from R to L atria; eventually is fused/obligerated
