Q

How is the primary heart field developed?

A

Progenitor heart cells in epiblast (primitive ectoderm) of the third week embryo migrate though the primary streak and form the primary heart field (PHF) which forms the two Arita and most of the two ventricles in the lateral plate mesoderm

Q

Where is AVB located?

A

AV Bundle branches

62
Q

What are the purkinje fibers of the heart?

A

Terminal conducting fibers which are located in all parts of the ventricular wall.

63
Q

List the order of systole (S)?

A

S1

  1. A-V valves shut, with semilunar valves already shut (all 4 valves shut)
  2. Isovolumetric ventricular contraction

S2

  1. Semilunar valves open,
  2. Ejection period
64
Q

List the order of Distole (D)

A

D1.
1. Semilunar valves closes, while A-V valves are closed
2. Isovolumetric relaxion
D2
1.A-V valves open, while semilunar valves are still closed
2. Passive ventricular filling
D3
1. Semilunar valves still closed A-V valves are open
2. Active ventricular filling as the atria make a last ditch contraction

65
Q

Is there ever a time when all four valves are open?

A

NO, never dude.

66

Q

Why is cardiac pain referred?

A

They are innervated by splanchnic nerves,

Splanchnic nerves do not receive their own pathway and hitchhike on somatic pathways
