Q

What is the direction of blood flow through the primitve heart?

Q

Describe the adult structures of sinus venosus

A

Smootb part of right atrium; coronary sinus (derived from right horn so is vein of left atrium); oblique vein of left atrium (derived from left hor)

Q

Describe the adult structures of the primitive atrium

Study These Flashcards
A

Trabeculated parts of right and left atria; forms left oracle

24
Q

Describe the adult structures of the primitve ventricle

Study These Flashcards
A

Trabeculated part of left ventricle

25
Describe the adult structures of the bulbus cordis
Trabeculated part of proximal right ventricle; distal outflow of both ventricles
26
Describe the adult structures of the truncus arteriosus
Aorta; pulmonary trunk
27
In what direction must the atrium move in week 4 (day 23)?
Cranially and ventrally
28
In what direction should the ventricle move in week 4 (day 23)
Displaced left
29
In what direction must the bulbus cordis move in week 4 (day 23)?
Inferiorly, ventrally to the right
30
As the atrium move in week 4, what does it pull with it?
Sinous venosus
31
What does the single atrium communicate with?
Left ventricle; right ventricle; outflow tracts
32
Why must the atrioventricular canal move?
So that when the primitive atrium divides, the AV canal can still communicate with both left and right atria
33
What are the swellings within the AV node?
Endocardial cushions (they fuse together and separate atrium into left and right)
34
What grows from the roof of the common atrium down towards the endocardial cushions?
Septum primum (day 40)
35
As the septum primum fuses with the endocardial cushions, what occurs?
The foramen primum decreases in size (day 40)
36
What occurs at the roof of the atrium?
Apoptosis (day 40)
37
What does this area of apoptosis create?
New opening that still allows communication between left and right known as the foramen secundum (day 40)
38
What is the second growth on the right atrium?
Septum secundum (day 40)
39
How is access to foramen secundum granted?
By pushing blood against the septum primum from the septum secundum
40
What is the foramen that remains called?
Foramen ovale
41
Where does oxygenated blood come from?
Placenta
42
Describe the function of foramen ovale before birth
Septum primum acts as a valve and so opens the foramen ovale when there is high pressue in the right atrium
43
Describe the function of foramen ovale after birth
As baby takes its first breath, there is a filling of venous plexus so there is high pressure in left atrium which closes septum primum. This then fuses to the foramen ovale creating fossa ovalis
44
Where is the left atrium derived from?
Pulmonary veins
45
What are the 2 components of the ventriculr septation?
Muscular part and membranous part
46
What does the membranous part ensure?
That the pulmonary comes from the right and the aorta comes from the left
47
What is the spike outgrowth from the bulbus cordis?
Muscular ventricular septum within the trabecular layer
48
What shape is the outflow tract?
Spiral
49
How do the outflow tracts become separated?
Outgrowths known as conotruncal swellings grow towards each other and fuse
50
When is the final spetum formed?
After birth to allow by pass of blood to lungs
51
What kind of blood is receieved from the right?
Combination of systemic deoxygenated and oxygenated blood from umbilical vein
52
Where does blood recieved from the right enter?
Right atrium from IVC
53
Where does blood from the SVC deflect into?
Both left and right ventricles
54
Where does blood from the right ventricle go to?
Small portion goes to the lungs but the rest goes to the left sided septum via the aorta
55
Where are the umbilical veins located?
End of the aorta
