Heart development Flashcards
(105 cards)
The heart tube remains attached to the dorsal side of the pericardial cavity by
the dorsal
mesocardium
• Later, dorsal mesocardium disappears forming————————- which connects both sides of the pericardial cavity
the transverse sinus of the pericardium
Development of heart & embryonic blood vessels begin —————-
week of gestation.
during the 3rd
Cardiac progenitor cells lies in
These cells lie in the epiblast
They migrate through the
primitive streak
Cells reside within the
splanchnic (visceral) layer of lateral plate mesoderm (Cardiogenic field).
• The cells lie——-the buccopharyngeal membrane and
neural plate
anterior to (rostral)
The heart primordium arises predominantly from
splanchnic layer of lateral plate
mesoderm
The progenitor cells are transformed into
the cardiac myoblasts
The cardiac myoblasts will later form the
myocardium of the heart
Vasculogenesis : Blood islands appear in the splanchnic layer of mesoderm
to form the blood cells and
blood vessels
• The blood islands unite and form a
horseshoe-shaped endothelial-lined heart tube
surrounded by myoblasts
The horseshoe-shaped cardiogenic cords is s surrounded
myoblasts
The intraembryonic cavity over the cardiogenic field develops into the
pericardial
cavity
The horseshoe-shaped cardiogenic cords later develop into
2 endothelial –lined
tubes
Effect of cephalic and lateral folding After cephalic folding, the cardiogenic area becomes———
buccopharyngeal membrane
ventral & caudal
• After the lateral folding, the 2 endocardial tubes except at most —— end
fuse ———— caudal
• Most caudal regions
receive the venous drainage (inflow tract).
Most cranial region
expand and join to the 2 dorsal aortae (outflow
tract)
The developing heart bulges more into the
pericardial cavity
The heart tube remains attached to the dorsal side of the pericardial cavity by
the dorsal
mesocardium
Later, dorsal mesocardium disappears forming ————————–which connects both sides of the pericardial cavity
the transverse sinus of the pericardium
Formation of the Primitive 4 Chambered Heart: Single heart tube——
elongates.
It has 2 ends
caudal & cranial ends
