Severson heart Dev Flashcards
Where germ layer do the neural crest cells derive from?
Ectoderm
What is the purpose of neural crest cells in heart dev?
Migrate the outflow tract where they participate in separation of the outflow tract and from the aortic arches
Why are the neural crest cells significant?
They migrate from regions of cervical and thoracic areas to cardiac structures
- Supply visceral sensory and motor
- explains why heart pain is referred to the neck, chest and jaw (also has a cervical nerve
What are the 3 venous systems of the developing fetus?
Vitelline veins
Umbilical veins
Caval system
What is the vitelline veins?
Drain GI tract
What is the umbilical vein?
Drains the placenta
What are the cardinal veins?
Forms Superior and inferior vena cava
What are the 5 components of the developing heart tube
Sinus venosus Primitive atrium Primitive ventricle Bulbus cordis Truncus arteriosus
What does the truncus arteriosus give rise to?
Aortic arch
pulmonary trunk
What does the sinus venosus do?
Drains the 3 venous systems
Vitelline, umbilical and caval
What does the bulbus cordis give rise to?
Smooth parts of left and right ventricle (outflow)
What does the primitive atrium and ventricle give rise to?
Trabeculated part of left and right atrium and ventricle
What does the left and right horn of sinus venosus give rise to
?
L- Coronary sinus
R- Smooth part of right atrium
Which way does the heart tube bend to get the general appearance of the adult heart?
To the right
- brings the superior and inferior vena cava to the right
What is Dextrocardia?
Condition of which the heart tube bends to the left and thus is displaced to the right rather than the left
- Transposition
- Heart vessels are reversed (mirror image of what it should be)
What dextrocardia or dextrocardia with situs inversus is compatible with life? Which is less serve?
Situs inversus
same
What is the purpose of the endocardial cushion?
Extracellular matrix that enlarges and grows towards one another to separate the single atrioventricular canal
- creates left and right atrioventricular canal as well
What other purpose does the endocardial cushion function?
- Formation of tricuspid and mitral valve
- Membranous portion of interventricular septum
- Participates in closure in primary atrial septum
What are the dev anomalies of abnormal endocardial cushion dev?
- Mitral atresia (narrow or absence of passage
- Tricuspid atresia
- Atrial septal defect
- Ventricular septal defect
- Persistent atrioventricular canal
What is the foramen ovale?
Hole in the atrium in utero and a product of the secondary septum
How does the atrial septum form?
Primary septum forms first. Grows down towards the endocardial cushion. Between the endocardial cushion and primary cushion there is a primary foramen. As you continue to grow toward the EC leads to a smaller primary foramen and thus to compensate the fetus creates a secondary foramen superior to the primary. Then the primary septum coms into contact with the EC and the secondary foramen gets bigger! Primary septum becomes valve of foramen ovale! Thus there is no backflow into right atrium in the fetus
The secondary septum is also forming at the same time. It is the right of the primary. It never really reaches the EC and thus creates the Foramen ovale
Bulbar and truncal ridges are derived from what?
Neural crest mesenchyme
What separates the the bulbar and truncal ridge tissues?
Spiraling of the aorticopulmonary septum
- to create the bulbus cordis and truncus arteriosus
What gives rise to the aorticopulmoary septum?
Bulbar and truncal ridges
