Angioblasts flatten to form endothelial cells that “coat” the inside of the cavities in the blood island – early endothelium

85
Q

o They then enter the sinus venosus (venous end of the embryonic heart)

Umbilical vein carry well-oxygenated blood from the chorion to the fetus

Common cardinal veins return poorly oxygenated blood from the body of the embryo

 Dorsal aorta – blood to the embryo

 Umbilical artery – Returns blood to the placenta

A

the pericardial cavity, pleural cavity, and peritoneal cavity

91
Q

when does heart start to beat

92
Q

A

the extra-embryonic vessels
* Allantois, umbilical vesicle vessels

By the 5th week RBCs arise from the dorsal aorta

93
Q

what day of gestation does the heart and great vessels begin to form- in which area?

A

At around 18-19 days of gestation, the heart and great vessels begins to form in a special region of the embryo called the cardiogenic area.

94
Q

when do the endocardial heart tubes develop and what do they fuse to form?

A

Paired, longitudinal endothelial-lined channels—the endocardial heart tubes—develop during the 3rd week and fuse to form a primordial heart tube

95
Q

primary heart field

A

 Earliest region involved in heart development, located in the anterior lateral plate mesoderm.
 Gives rise to the initial heart tube, which forms during the third week of development. This tube eventually differentiates into a portion of the atria and the left ventricle.

96
Q

secondary heart field

A

 Located adjacent to the PHF; visceral mesoderm ventral to the pharynx.
 Contributes to the elongation of the heart tube. It forms the right ventricle, the outflow tract of both ventricles (conus cordis and truncus arteriosus), and parts of the atria.

97
Q

what does the primary and secondary heart field form

A

primary= atria and left ventricle

secondary= right ventricle, outflow tract for ventricles and parts of atria

98
Q

neural crest cells

A

 Originate from the neural tube.
 Contributes to the cardiac outflow tract and the aorticopulmonary septum.

99
Q

what do the primary and secondary heart field both exhibit

A

left- right patterning (laterality)

100
Q

laterality in the secondary heart field

A

Cells on the right side contribute to the left of the outflow tract region and those on the left contribute to the right; it explains the spiralling nature of the pulmonary artery and aorta.

101
Q

when does the cardiac loop form

A
  • As the outflow tract lengthens, the cardiac tube begins to bend on day 23.
  • The cephalic portion of the tube bends ventrally, caudally, and to the right; and the atrial (caudal) portion shifts dorsocranially and to the left.
  • This bending creates
    the cardiac loop by day 28.
102
Q

cardiac loop

A
  • The atrial portion forms a common atrium and is incorporated into the pericardial cavity.
  • The bulbus cordis forms the trabeculated part of the right ventricle. The midportion, the conus cordis, will form the outflow tracts of both ventricles. The distal part of the bulbus, the truncus arteriosus, will form the roots and proximal portion of the aorta and pulmonary artery.
     Bulboventricular loop
  • When looping is completed, the smooth-walled heart tube begins to form primitive trabeculae in two sharply defined areas. The primitive ventricle, which is now trabeculated, is called the primitive left ventricle.
  • Likewise, the trabeculated proximal third of the bulbus cordis is called the primitive right ventricle.
103
Q

the embryonic structure -sinus venosus- becomes what adult stucture

A

Smooth part of atria, coronary sinus, nodal tissue

104
Q

the embryonic structure -atrium- becomes what adult stucture

A

Rough part of the atrium

105
Q

the embryonic structure -ventricle- becomes what adult stucture

A

Left ventricle

106
Q

the embryonic structure -bulbus cordis- becomes what adult stucture

A

Trabeculated part of the right ventricle, outflow tracts of the ventricles (conus cordis)

107
Q

the embryonic structure -truncus arteriosus- becomes what adult stucture

A

Outflow Tract (Pulmonary Trunk & Aorta)

108
Q

how does blood flow in embryo

A

Blood flows from the sinus venosus into the primordial atrium, from there to primordial ventricle

Ventricle contracts, pushing blood into the bulbus cordis and truncus arteriosus

o Passes cranially to the pharyngeal arches arteries
o Passes caudally to the dorsal aorta

–>Distributed to the placenta, umbilical vesicle, and the rest of the embryo

109
Q

when and where do endocardial cushions form

A

Towards the end of the 4th week, endocardial cushions form on the dorsal and ventral walls of the atrioventricular (AV) canal

 As these masses of tissue are invaded by mesenchymal cells during the 5th week, the AV endocardial cushions approach each other and fuse, dividing the AV canal into right and left AV canals
 These canals partially separate the primordial atrium from the primordial ventricle, and the endocardial cushions function as AV valves.

110
Q

what are the endocardial cushion involved in the development of

A

the atrial and ventricular septa, as well as the atrioventricular valves

111
Q

where does blood flow in the chambers in the embryo?

A
  • During embryonic life, the blood from all chambers mixes, such that the heart acts like just one massive chamber
  • However, the basic structure for separate right- and left-sided circulations must be developed and ready to operate once the child is born
112
Q

development of partitioning - atria

A
  • Septum primum grows from the roof of the atria towards the endocardial cushions
    – The space underneath is called the foramen primum
  • It meets the endocardial cushions (primordial septum) and abruptly becomes holey and forms another foramen (foramen secundum) – this will remain until birth

he septum secundum now starts to develop, on the right side of the septum primum
* between the two flaps remains the foramen secundum
Note how the development of the septum primum, the septum secundum, and the foramen secundum allow one-way shunting of blood from right to left
* If pressure in the left atrium increases, the valve (formed by what?) will close

113
Q

atrial septum
