In an embryo, the “cervical” region where the 5th somite will fuse on Day ___ will look like it is in the MIDDLE of the embryo. Why is this?
A
Day 22
The caudal end grows SLOWER than the cranial end. As a result, the cervical region appears more in the middle until growth has got up.

Cranially and Caudally
Cranial and Caudal neuropores

25
28

44

Aorta
Pulmonary Trunk
45
What is the aortico-pulmonary septum?
It is the initial stages of the outflow channels of the heart where the neural crest cells build a wall between the aorta and pulmonary trunk forming a spiral pattern as they eventually divide
This pattern can be seen in our body!
46
What is the Transposition of the Great Arteries?
TGA is when neural crest cells reach the aortic arches and form the aortico-pulmonary septum, divide the pulmonary trunk and aorta BUT FAIL to create the spiral pattern
This means, deoxygenated blood can travel back to the HEART but it won't oxygenate it and rather, pump it right back out to the body.
This also means that the side of the heart that just got oxygenated blood from the lungs will pump it right back into the lungs
1. Deoxygenated blood into heart and right back out to body
2. Oxygenated blood from lungs into heart and right back into lungs
BIG Picture: Oxygenated blood is sequestered to heart
47
Is there treatment for TGA?
Yes! Surgery, they will have to reroute your system to where the aorta is coming from left ventricle and pulmonary trunk is coming off right.
They can also poke a hole through the right and left atrium as a temporary fix to allow oxygenated blood into the right ventricle so it can be pushed out to the body.
