Q

Describe the why the second heart field is initially inhibited

A

Initially inhibited due to its proximity to notochord

After body folding, it is farther away and can start proliferating by adding cells to both ends of the primitive heart tube

-drives cardiac looping

Q

What is visceroatrial heterotaxia?

A
  • heart and GI tract are asymmetrically arranged from one another
  • right-sided heart with normal GI tract
  • left-sided heart with right-sided GI tract *

*Causes problems with inflow and outflow tract development and can be life threatening

25
What are the branches of the sinus horns?
Umbilical Vein Vitelline Vein Common Cardinal Vein
26
How do the right and left atria begin to form?
expansion of the atrium--\> shift of the left sinus venosus and left horn --\> causes a net shift in the amount of blood returning to the right side of the common atrium
27
What does the left sinus horn eventually become?
Coronary sinus
28
What does the right vitelline vein become?
Inferior Vena Cava
29
What does the right common cardinal vein become?
Superior Vena Cava
30
Where is the smooth part of the right atrium wall from?
Sinus venosum
31
Where is the rough part of the right atrium wall from?
Primitive atrium
32
What does differential growth form?
Muscular interventricular septum: separates ventricles Muscular Atrial septum: separates atria
33
What does endocardial cushion tissue do?
Induce formation of mesenchymal cells to close off openings -produce AV septum
34
How do endocardial cushion tissues work?
Myocardium produces ECM that sucks up water, causing it to swell. Endocardium is pushed into lumen and the cells start to delaminate, filling in the lumen.
35
Where are endocardial cushion tissues found?
Between atria and ventricles Between ventricles and outflow tract
36
What is a persistent AV canal?
**Failure of the AV septum** (superior and inferior cushions) to fuse -all 4 chambers communicate =abnormal or agenesis of AV valves = _pul HTN, exercise intolerance, SOB, cardiac congestion, increased risk of endocarditis_ -\*linked with **Downs syndrome**
37
Describe septum primum and secundum
1) Septum primum - near AV septum - hole, ostium primum. 2) Ostium primum is replaced by foramen secundum, which is much higher up. 3) . Eventually, septum secundum will overlap foramen secundum and has its own hole - foramen ovale.
38
What is the purpose of all the holes (e.g. osteum primum, foramen secundum, foramen ovale)?
Oxygenated blood from umbilical vein can bypass the lungs and pulmonary trunk and enter systemic circulation (blood from RA to LA)
39
What is another structure that allows oxygenated blood to bypass lungs and pulmonary trunk to enter systemic circulation?
Ductus arteriosus
40
What can cause some atrial septal defects?
1) Too much resorption of septum primum that cannot be covered by septum secundum 2) Absence of septum secundum 3) Ostium primum never covered from due to failure of up-growth of AV cushion tissue from AV septum _W \>M_
41
What is cyanosis?
Low levels of oxygen saturation in blood from mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood can lead to blue skin
42
How does the AV canal shift?
Myocardialization: outer myocardial wall is thinned and replaced by cushion cells
43
What can happen after the AV canal shifts?
Separation of right and left ventricle
44
What is double outlet right syndrome?
Both aorta and pulmonary artery exit via RV bc insufficient shifting of AV septum or issues with cardiac looping --\>cyanotic breathlessness, murmur, poor weight gain
45
What structures does neural crest cells contribute to?
Aortic-pulmonary septum Semilunar valve
46
Describe ventricular septal defects.
Improper closure of ventricular septum - starts acyanotic (left to right shunt) - right ventricle hypertrophies due to increased workload - becomes cyanotic after birth (right to left shunt)
47
Describe persistent truncus arteriosus.
Outflow tracts not divided btn the two ventricles bc conal truncal ridges dont form - mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood - will have VSD - cyanotic
48
Describe tetralogy of fallout.
Unequal division of pulmonary trunk and aorta 1. VSD 2. Pulmonary infundibular stenosis 3. Overriding aorta 4. RV hypertrophy (bc pul A very small) -cyanotic
49
Describe transposition of great vessels.
Pulmonary artery is connected to left ventricle while aorta is connected to right ventricle - due to _improper spiraling_ of conal truncal ridges - cyanotic
50
Describe pulmonary valvular atresia.
no opening to pul A --\> underdevelop RV (hypoplasia) Foramen ovale only way for blood to reach left side if there is VSD, mixing of blood can give patient chance to live
51
Describe aortic valvular stenosis.
Heart's aortic valve narrows LV hypertrophy --\> cardiac failure & pul HTN M \> F congenital, pathological, degenerative
52
Describe aortic valvular atresia.
Congenital absence of aortic valve - LV hypoplasia - RV hypertrophy patent ductus arteriosus & ASD
53
Describe bicuspid aortic valve.
Aortic valve 2 leaflets instead of 3 --\> regurgitation of blood - initial asymptomatic but can lead to **LV hypertrophy** - can cause stenosis of aortic valve (associated w/ development of **aortic aneurysm**) - can be inheritable
54
Describe tricuspid atresia.
Tricuspid valve missing or abnormally developed, --\> improper blood flow btn RA & RV patent foramen ovale, RV hypoplasia, VSD & patent ductus arteriosus
55
Describe a hypoplastic left ventricle.
Underdeveloped left side of heart along w/ abnormal bicuspid and aortic valves --\>underdeveloped ascending aorta patent ductus arteriosus & patent foramen ovale (or ASD) -right ventricle is doing all the work (univentricular)
56
Which structures do hemangioblasts give rise to?
primitive hematopoietic stem cell and endothelial precursor cells
57
what is the primary fxn of the hemangioblasts
meet the immediate needs for blood cells
58
Which vessels are responsible for inflow of blood into the primitive heart?
common cardinal, vitelline, and umbilical veins
59
how are definitive hematopoietic stem cells programmed
hemogenic endothelial cells in AGM break off from doral aorta and seed liver -interaction takes place --\> program these cells
60
Which organ is primarily responsible for producing blood cells in development?
liver via hematopoietic precursor cells
61
which structure gives rise to myocardium
splanchnic mesoderm
62
which germ layer gives rise to the valves of the heart
endocardium from the intraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm
63
which germ layer give rise to the conotruncal ridges in outflow tract
endocardial (intraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm) NCC (ectoderm)
