Lecture 19: The Heart Flashcards
where is cardiogenic mesoderm located
cranially to oropharyngeal membrane
what eventually engulfs the heart
pericardial coelom
what forms the initial artery/vein system
blood islands coalescing
where do vitelline arteries and veins empty
caudal end of heart tube
how is blood initially pumped to the body
through a single tube
what comprises the primitive heart tube
1) aortic sac
2) truncus arteriosis
3) bulbus cordis
4) primitive ventricle
5) primitive atrium
6) sinus venosus
formation of the AV septum
dorsal AV cushion and ventral AV cushion approach each other
what doe the AV septum partition
the AV canal into the R AV canal and L AV canal
formation of the IV septum
muscular IV septum develops in midline on floor of ventricle (from cardiac mesoderm) and grows toward fused AV cushion
Membranous IV semptum from bulbar ridge and AV cushions also grows
difference in initial vs end IV septum
initially, foramen in free edge of muscular IV septum and fused AV cushions. Then it gets closed by the membranous septum
2 things that divide primitive atrium
septum primum and septum secundum
what does septum primum come from
forms in roof of primitive atrium and grows toward AV cushions in AV canal
what does the foramen secundum come from
forms in center of septum primumm, fenestrations that become one big hole
when does the foramen primum start and end
forms between free edges of septum primum and AV cushions, closes when there is fusion with cushions
where does the septum secundum form
the right of septum primum
what is the foramen ovale
opening between the upper and lower limbs of the septum secundum
how does blood get shunted in the embryonic heart
RA to LA via foramen ovale
how is functional closure of foramen ovale achieved
decrease in right atrial pressure (from occlusion of placental circulation) and increase in left atrial pressure (due to pulmonary venous return)
*eventually septum primum and secudum will anatomically fuse
what is the valve of the foramen ovale derived from
septum primum
why is the foramen ovale significant
allows blood to bypass the fetal lungs
path of aorta vs pulmonary artery
aorta: L ventricular outflow
pulmonary artery: R ventricular outflow tract
