Q

What do the truncus arteriosus and bulbus cordis eventually become?

A

The aorta and the pulmonary trunk

27
Q

During the formation of the bulboventriular loop, where does the primitive atria move?

A

It moves superiorly and posteriorly

28
Q

What is dextrocardia?

A

Heart folding to the left instead of the right

29
Q

If dextrocardia occurs in isolation is there a high likelihood of congenital heart defects?

A

Yes

30
Q

If dextrocardia occurs with situs inversus is there a high likelihood of congenital heart defects?

A

No, everything should be fine

31
Q

When do septation events begin? When are they complete?

A

They begin early 4th week and complete mid 8th week.

32
Q

What is a septation event?

A

Separating the atria from each other, the atria from the ventricles, and ventricles from each other

33
Q

What is another name for endocardial cushions?

A

Atrioventricular cushions

34
Q

What are the endocardial cushions made of? (2 things)

A

They are made from mesodermal growth from the dorsal and ventral walls. Some mesenchyme invades during the 5th week.

35
Q

What are the two endocardial cushions?

A

Dorsal and ventral

36
Q

What happens to the two endocardial cushions?

A

They grow towards each other in the midline and eventually fuse

37
Q

What do the endocardial cushions form?

A

The atrioventricular canals

38
Q

What do the pectinate muscles come from?

A

The original heart tube

39
Q

Anything smooth in the atria comes from what?

A

Sinus venosus

40
Q

What are the two horns of the sinus venosus?

A

The left and right horns

41
Q

What does the left horn become?

A

The coronary sinus

42
Q

What does the right horn incorporate into? What does it become? (3 things)

A

It incorporates into the atrium and gives rise to the:

  1. ) Sinus venarum
  2. ) Opening for the coronary sinus
  3. Openings of the superior and inferior vena cava
43
Q

How does the sinuatrial orifice come to be?

A

The right horn of the sinus venosus goes through process of intussusception, folds, and forms the sinuatrial orifice

44
Q

On either side of the sinuatrial orifice there are what?

A

Left and right sinuatrial (venous) valves

45
Q

Where do the left and right sinuatrial (venous) valves fuse?

A

Cranially and caudally

46
Q

When the left and right sinuatrial (venous) valves fuse cranially, what other thing do they fuse with?

A

Septum spurium

47
Q

The right sinuatrial valve gives rise to what cranially?

A

crista terminalis

48
Q

The right sinuatrial valve gives rise to what caudally?

A

The valve of the coronary sinus and most of the valve off the inferior vena cava

49
Q

Foramen Ovale becomes what?

A

Fossa ovale

50
Q

During fetal life, does the septum secundum completely close?

A

No

51
Q

What are the two parts of the septation of the ventricles?

A

Muscular portion and membranous portion

52
Q

What is the muscular portion of the ventricular septum made of?

A

Splanchnic mesoderm

53
Q

What is the path of the muscular portion of the ventricular septum?

A

It tries to migrate and form with the endocardial cushion, but falls short

54
Q

Separation of the outflow tract involves separation of what two structures?

A

The bulbus cordis and truncus arteriosus

55
Q

What is another name for bulbus cordis?

A

Conus cordis

56
Q

Where do the neural crest cells migrate to? What do they form?

A

Truncus arteriosus. Ridges

57
Q

Neural crest ridges in the truncal area are called what?

A

Truncal ridges

58
Q

Neural crest ridges in the bulbar area are called what? Aka what?

A

Bulbar ridges. Conotruncal ridges

59
Q

What do the neural crest cells form?

A

The aorticopulmonary septum

60
Q

As the aorticopulmonary septum is forming, what does it do?

A

It rotates 180 degrees

61
Q

What does the aorticopulmonary septum fuse with?

A

The endocardial cushions

62
Q

What are the 3 players of the membranous interventricular septum?

A
  1. ) Endocardial cushion
  2. ) Right bulbar ridge
  3. ) Left bulbar ridge
63
Q

What happens to form the membranous part of the interventricular septum?

A

The left bulbar ridge, the right bulbar ridge, and the endocardial cushion all come together. This results in the disappearance of the inter ventricular foramen and now forms the membranous part of the interventricular foramen

64
Q

What does the membranous part of the interventricular septum separate? (2 things)

A
  1. ) The ventricles

2. ) The left ventricle from the right atrium
