Lecture 20: Embryology of the Heart, Lungs, and Diaphragm Flashcards
What forms the right and left endocardial tubes and adjacent myocardial plates of the heart?
lateral plate mesoderm
What happens with the two endocardial tubes and myocardial plates
they come together to form one heart tube
What are the two layers of the heart tube?
endocardial layer surrounded by a myocardial layer
Describe the movement (looping) of the heart tube during the first few weeks of embryogenesis
structures forming the right side of the heart (right atrium and ventricle) swing anteriorly and the left swings to the posterior
What is septation
The creation of two atria and ventricles and divides the AV canal and ventricular outflow from aorta and pulmonary trunk
What is created first the atrium or ventricles?
They are made simultaneously
What forms the AV valves (tricuspid and mitral)
endocardial cushion
What forms the aortic and pulmonic semilunar valves?
Endocardial cushion
Embryological derivative of the medial wall of left atrium
septum primum
Embryological derivative of the medial wall of right atrium
septum secundum
Ostium primum
hole in the septum premum that leads into the AV canal
What closes the ostium primum
endocardial cushion
Ostium secundum
Forms in the septum premium as osmium primum closes
What closes ostium secundum
septum secundum
What happens to the growth of the septum secundum once the ostium secundum closes
It stops growth
When septum secundum stops growing, what forms
foramen ovale
Role of foramen ovale
Shunts blood from the right atrium to the left atrium
Left heart hypoplasia
premature closing of foramen ovale
What forms the membranous portion of the inter ventricular septum
endocardial cushion
Ostium primum atrial spetal defect
inadequate development of the cushions can cause failure of final closure of the atrial septum
Membranous ventricular septal defect
inadequate development of the cushions can cause failure of final closure of the ventricular septum
Persistent AV canal
most severe defect involving the endocardial cushion
Ventricular septal disease (VSD)
When the muscular and membranous inerventricular septa do no fuse together
Defects in septation are often accompanied by…Why?
Defects in the heart because anything that alters blood flow will affect the path or volume of flow
