Q

How does the heart end up on the left side of the body?

A

The two ends of the heart tube fold towards each other and slightly to the right. This pushes the apex out to the left and rotates slightly so that the right side of the heart is slightly more anterior

Q

During cephalon-caudal folding, what do each of the germ layers contribute?

A

Ectoderm: visceral pericardium
Mesoderm: cardiac muscle
Endoderm: endothelial lining

20
Q

What is the name given in the case that the heart folds slightly to the left as opposed to the right, pushing the apex right?

A

Dextrocardia

21
Q

At 28 days, how large is the embryo and what developments have there been with the heart?

A

5mm
Heart pushes into the pericardial sac
Ventricles begin to trabeculate

22
Q

The venous end receives inflow from which veins?

A

Cardinal
Umbilical
Vitelle

23
Q

Where do the atria bulge from either side?

A

Bulbus cordis

24
Q

What do the proximal, middle and distal parts of the bulbus cordis form respectively?

A

Proximal: RV
Middle: outflow of ventricles
Distal: PT & aorta

25
Q

Why are cranio-facial and cardiac abnormalities commonly linked?

A

Neural crest cells are involved in both cranio-facial development and cardiac development

26
Q

I cardiac development, what do the neural crest cells form?

A

Endocardial cushions

27
Q

What do enlargements of the endocardial cushions form?

A

Interatrial septum
Membranous part of the interventricular septum
AV valves (tricuspid & mitral)
Formation of the PT & Aorta from the truncus arteriosus

28
Q

What structure divides the heart into left and right?

A

Endocardial cushions

29
Q

What are neural crest cells used to grow?

A

Septum primum

30
Q

What structure lies underneath the septum primum?

A

Ostium (foramen) primum

31
Q

Holes developing create an ostium secundum. How are these holes ‘filled’?

A

Formation of a septum secundum to seal the ostium secundum

32
Q

Which side does the septum secundum lie on with regard to the position of the septum primum?

A

RHS

33
Q

What can atrial septal defect lead to?

A

Significant shunting from left to right

34
Q

When is the formation of the interventricular septum said to be complete?

A

End of week 7

35
Q

Where doe left and right ridges of endocardial cushion form?

A

Conus

36
Q

What is the conotruncal septum?

A

The result of the left and right tranquil ridges spiralling around each other

37
Q

An extension of which endocardial cushion grows and proliferates to become the muscular portion of the IVS?

A

Inferior AV cushion

38
Q

What closes the interventricular foramen completely?

A

Membranous part of the interventricular septum

39
Q

How do the mitral and tricuspid valves, chordae tendinae and papillary muscles form?

A

Endocardial cushion growth and cavitation

40
Q

How do the aortic and pulmonary valves form?

A

Hollowing of the endocardial tubercles

41
Q

What is the cause of aortic coarctation?

A

Abnormality in the aortic media and intimal proliferation

42
Q

In the case of an aortic coarctation, which pulse in particular will be weak upon palpation?

A

Femoral

43
Q

From which nerve does the recurrent laryngeal originate?

A

Vagus nerve

44
Q

Which structures does the LRLN hook around?

A

6th arch
Ductus arteriosus / Ligamentum arteriosum
IN THORAX

45
Q

Which structures does the RRLN hook around?

A

4th arch
Subclavian artery
NOT IN THORAX
