Q

explain development of lymphatic system during 6th week of pregnancy

A

develops around main veins
6 primary lymph sacs develops at the end of embryonic period
thoracic duct develops from two vessels anterior to the aorta - these become left and right embryonic thoracic ducts
left one gives rise to the upper third of the adult thoracic duct and the lower 2/3 of the adult duct are formed by right embryonic thoracic duct

Q

how does oxygenated blood reach foetus

A

comes from placenta and then reaches foetal IVC via umbilical vein, mostly bypassing foetal liver
blood in foetal IVC therefore mixed oxygenated and deoxygenated

29
Q

ductus arteriosus

A

ligamentum arteriosum between left and right pulmonary artery and aorta

30
Q

umbilical arteries

A

medial umbilical ligaments of anterior abdominal wall

31
Q

main stages in heart development

A 
bilateral heart primordia
primitive heart tube
heart looping
atrial and ventricular septation
outflow tract septation
32
Q

what week does CVS system function

A

first major system to function in embryo and this happens in week 4

33
Q

Why does CVS function so early?

A

rapidly growing embryo - nutrition by diffusion is not sufficient to satisfy the growing embryo

34
Q

what happens during 3rd week in terms of CVS development?

A

blood vessels “islands” first appear in yolk sac, allantois, connecting stalk and chorion - this is called the cardiogenic field

35
Q

what do blood vessels in lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm form?

A

two heart tubes

36
Q

two heart tubes are formed by…

A

blood vessels in lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm

37
Q

when heart tubes fuse they form…?

A

join blood vessels in other areas to form primordial CVS system

38
Q

somatic mesoderm

A

parietal layer of serous pericardium & fibrous pericardium form from this

39
Q

splanchnic mesoderm

A

visceral layer of serous pericardium forms from

40
Q

intra-embryonic coelom

A

pericardial cavity forms from

41
Q

explain primitive heart tube - different parts

A 
truncus arteriosus
bulbus cordis
primitive ventricle
primitive atrium
sinus venosus
42
Q

what happens to primitive heart tube when it gets to big

A

invaginates pericardium

because it becomes too large for pericardium it needs to fold/loop and then goes onto form bulboventricular loop

43
Q

explain formation of cardiac (bulboventricular) loop

A

bulbus cordis and ventricle enlarge and loop to right -> ventricle pushed left and inferiorly
atria are pushed superiorly and posteriorly

44
Q

explains dextrocardia

A

heart tube loops to left side (instead of right side), so ventricles come to lie facing the right (=dextro)
most frequent positional abnormality of heart

45
Q

explain partitioning of primitive heart

A
  1. single atrioventricular canal into left and right AV canals (endocardial cushion growth)
  2. the primitive atrium into left and right atria (atrial septum formation)
  3. the primitive ventricle into left and right ventricles (ventricular septum formation)
  4. the atria from the ventricles (heart valve formation)

-> this involves two actively growing masses of tissue : endocardial cushions and heart septae

46
Q

explain endocardial cushion growth

A

separates RA + V from LA + V to form L & R AV canals

47
Q

partitioning of primitive atrium into left and right atria

A

formation of septum primum & ostium primum
ostium secundum begins to form by apoptosis of part of septum primum
formation of septum secundum and formation of ostium secundum is complete , closure of ostium primum as septum primum meets the endocardial cushions
formation of foramen ovale is complete

48
Q

what is the role of the foramen ovale before birth

A

allows most of the blood to pass from the right atrium to the left atrium (non-functioning lung)
prevents passage of blood in the opposite direction

49
Q

what is the role of the foramen ovale after birth

A 
normally closes (increased pressure in the LA due to increased pulmonary circulation)
septum primum fuses with septum secundum
fossa ovalis ( a depression in the interatrial septum) of adult heart is remnant of foetal foramen ovale
50
Q

what does non-closure of the PFO result in

A

common form of congenital Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) - “hole in the heart”

51
Q

explain partitioning of primitive ventricle

A

muscular ventricular septum forms. - opening is called interventricular foramen
aorticopulmonary septum divides bulbis cordis and truncus arteriosus into aorta and pulmonary trunk, bottom of spiral aorticopulmonary septum fuses with muscular ventricular septum and endocardial cushions to form membranous interventricular septum, closing interventricular foramen

52
Q

explain ventricular septal defect

A

most common type of CHD (congenital heart disease) - 25% of defects
can appear in any part of septum
small VSDs close spontaneously (30-50%)
membranous type of VSD is most common

53
Q

what week of pregnancy does partitioning of bulbus cordis(BC) and truncus arteriosus (TA) happen?

A

week5 - aorticopulmonary septum divides BC and TA into aorta and pulmonary trunk

54
Q

explain transposition of great vessels

A

common cause of cyanotic disease in newborn infants
associated with ASD and VSD
permit exchange of systemic and pulmonary circulation eg tetralogy of fallot
Cause - 1. failure of aorticopulmonary septum to take a spiral course
2. defective migration of neural crest cells to heart

55
Q

what develops from the ventricular wall (in terms of valves)

A

cusps, chordae tendinae and papillary muscles of the atrioventricular valves

56
Q

semilunar valves are formed from…

A

subendocardial valve tissue

57
Q

explain development of conducting system of the heart

A

early pacemakers are cardiomyocytes in primitive atrium and sinus venosus

clinical - cot death or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
cause - abnormalities in conducting tissue

58
Q

in week 5 of pregnancy what develops in regard to conducting system of the heart

A

SA node (pacemaker)

59
Q

adult location of SA node

A

high in the RA near the entrance of SVC

60
Q

AV node and bundle

A

bundle of His - develops from cells of AV canal and sinus venosus

61
Q

A

aortic arches

62
Q

A

right ventricle

parts of outflow tracts

63
Q
