Q

What do Cardinal Veins do and what do they give rise to?

A

the anterior and posterior cardinal veins form main drainage system of the embryo. Eventually they give rise to brachiocephalic vein, superior vena cava, and a portion of inferior vena cava.

Q

What happens because the of the fall of pressure in the right atrium after birth?

A

Fall of pressure in the right atrium will result in the valve of the foramen ovale pressing against the secondary septum

Q

How does the interventricular septum form?

A

From expansion of apical aspects of the right and left ventricle. The growth prodtrudes into the lumen towards endocardial cushions, but stops before getting there.

24
Q

When the apical aspects of the right and left ventricles expand into the lumen of the heart, growth stops just before reaching the endocardial cushions, the space left between them is called?

A

Interventricular foramen

25
Q

Which tissues are involved in the membranous part of the ventricular septum?

A

Right and left conus cordis swellings, endocardial cushion, neurall crest cells.

26
Q

What causes complete septation of the ventricles?

A

The membranous interventricular septum

27
Q

A
  1. Umbilical vein 2. Ductus venosus 3. Oval foramen 4. Ductus arteriosus 5. Umbilical arteries
28
Q

Describe flow of blood after birth

34
Q

Where is the primary heart field initially?

A

In splanchnic layer of lateral plate mesoderm

35
Q

What are cardiac progenitor cells specified to make?

A

Left and right sides of heart, Atria, left Ventricle, and part of Right Ventricle

36
Q

What does the secondary heart field form?

A

Remainder of RV and outflow tract consisting of conus cordis and truncus arteriosus.

37
Q

In early development of the heart the embryo folds laterally, what happens to the caudal regions of the endothelial heart at this point?

A

They merge, the resulting tube kind of looks like a butt and legs

38

What does the heart tube that looks like a butt and legs consist of?

A

An inner endothelial lining and an outer myocardial layer

What does cardiac jelly do?

A

41
Q

What does the visceral epicardium make?

A

it is responsible for forming coronary arteries
