Cardiovascular System Flashcards
(90 cards)
when does the primordial heart and vascular system appear
middle of week 3
cardiovascular system is derived from (3)
- splanchnic mesenchyme
- paraxial and lateral mesoderm
- neural crest cells
what specifically forms the primordial for the heart
splanchnic mesenchyme
when do the angioblastic cords appear
day 18
the angioblastic cords are primordial for what
heart
what do the angioblastic cords do during embryonic folding
they fuse together and form a single heart tube
when does the heart begin to beat?
22 to 23 days
in week 4 how many veins drain into the tubular heart
4
what are the 3 veins that drain into the tubular heart in week 4
- vitelline veins
- umbilical veins
- common cardinal veins
what vein returns poorly oxygenated blood from umbilical vesicle
vitelline veins
what vein carries well oxygenated blood from the chorion or primordial placenta
umbilical veins
what vein returns poorly oxygenated blood from the body of the embryo
common cardinal veins
what do the vitelline veins follow into the embryo
ompalogenteric duct
what does the yolk stalk connect (ompalogenteric)
the midgut and the umbilical vesicle
the venous part of the heart is called
sinus venosus
which vitelline vein degenerates
the left one
what does the right vitelline vein form
most of the hepatic portal system and the IVC
what do the umbilical vein carry from the placenta to the sinus venosus
well oxygenated blood
what week does the right umbilical vein disappear
week 7
where does the ductus venosus develop and what does it connect?
develops in the liver and connects umbilical vein to the IVC
what forms a bypass through the liver so that most of the blood that goes from the placenta passes directly to the heart without passing through the liver
ductus venosus
what are the main venous drainage of the embryo
the cardianl veins
what joins together to form the common cardinal veins and eneter the sinus venosus
the anterior and posterior cardinal veins
what are the four main segments of the IVC
- hepatic segment
- prerenal sengment
- renal segment
- postrenal segment
