Lecture 5 Flashcards
Where does the heart develop from?
Cardiogenic Mesoderm
-This gives rise to the myocardium and epicardium
What will the primitive heart tube form?
Endocardium
What suspends the heart tube?
Dorsal medocardium
How is the transverse pericardial sinus formed?
endoApoptosis of the central part of the dorsal mesocardium –> Creates a communication between the left and right sides of the pericardium
Dextrocardia w/ situs inversus
-Heart loops at 4 weeks gestatation
Normal:
D-look Positions apex to left
Abnormal:
-L-loop positions apex to right or Dextrocardia
-Situs inversus –> abdominal organs are also found reversed
Dextrocardia
Normal:
D-look Positions apex to left
Abnormal:
-L-loop positions apex to right or Dextrocardia
What does the sinus venosus form?
Right Horn:
1) Smooth walled/right atrium
Left Horn:
2) Coronary sinus
What does the primitive atrium form?
Right:
1) Rough walled part of right atrium
Left:
1) Rough walled part of left atrium
What does the primitive ventricle form?
Right:
1) Trabeculated (Rough) part of the right ventricle
Left:
1) Trabeculated (Rought) part of the left ventricle
What does the Bulbos cordis form?
Right:
1) Conus arteriosus
Left:
1) Aortic vestibule
What does the truncus arteriosus form?
Right:
1) Pulmonary trunk
Left:
1) Ascending aorta pulmonary arter
When do endocardial cushions form and where are they derived from?
4th-5th week
-Derives from cardiac mesenchyme
What do the endocardial cushions form?
- Fuse tg to form right and left AV canals
- Also form mitral and tricuspid valves, Aortic/pulmonary valves, atrial and ventricular septum
How can downs syndrome (Trisomy 21) develop?
-Defects in endocardial cushions –> Problems w/ septum forming
How is the oval foramen formed?
By the septum secundum and the foramen secundum
