DA4 Flashcards
(56 cards)
What system is first to become functional in developing embryo?
Cardiovascular system
Cardiovascular system begins as paired condensations of splanchnic mesoderm called ______.
Cardiogenic fields
After cardiogenic fields develop, cells proliferate and differentiate into _______.
Angiogenic cell clusturs
Cells organize into cords then into paired ______.
Endocardial tubes
Inductive influences of _______ is essential for the development of the cardiovascular system.
Endoderm
Without the influence of the endoderm, what happens to the cardiovascular system?
Acardia - no heart develops
Body folding tubes fust to form single median ______.
Endocardial tube
Cardia bifida
Double heart, lethal conditions because none of the two hearts are functionally competent
The endocardial tube is temporarily connected to the dorsal wall by ______.
Dorsal mesocardium which will degenerate - it is only a temporary structure
The heart differentiates into four parts after the formation of the endocardial tube. List them from cranial to caudal.
- Bulbus cordis 2. Ventricle 3. Atrium 4. Sinus venosus
Formation of cardiac loop is determined by:
- Elongation of tube within restricted pericardium 2. degeneration of dorsal mesocardium 3. Anchorage of tube at both ends
The endocardial tube folds on itself to form the…..
Cardiac loop
The cardiac loop is formed by the cranial portion folding _________ and the caudal portion folding ________.
Cranial portion folds ventrocaudally and to the right. Caudal portion folds dorsocranially and to the left.
Formation of cardiac chambers are indicated by _____.
Local expansions
Formation of cardiac chambers is induced by _____.
Direction of blood flow; blood becomes shifted to the right
Formation of cardiac chambers is accomplished by the formation of _______.
Cardiac septa
Endocardium between two chambers proliferates to form ______
Endocardial cushions which divide AV canal into right and left canals

Endocardial cushions are remodeled by ______ of internal walls
Selective escavations
Partitioning of common atrium starts with the formation of ______, which is a ridge from the roof of the atrium extending towards cushions.
Septum Primum

The septum primum leaves temporary communication between atria, called _______.
Ostium primum

Before the septum primum fuses with cushions, its dorsal part degenerates to form _______.
Ostium secundum

During the formation of the septum secundum, the dosral part extends from the ______, and the ventral part extends from the ______.
Dorsal part extends from the roo of the atrium.
Ventral part extends from the cushions.

The dorsal and ventral parts of the septum secundum do not fuse before birth, so the two atria communicate via ______.
Foramen ovale

When does the complete separatino of the two atria occur? And what structure forms as a result?
Complete separation of two atria occurs after birth by fusion of the two septa.
Fossa ovalis
