25
With the second heart field, what tissue type is proliferating?
Cardiogenic mesoderm
26
Ventricular inversion

27
Heterotaxia
Any abnormal left-right development
28
Situs inversus
COMPLETE reverse symmetry of the heart AND GI organs!!
29
Is situs inversus asymptomatic?
YES
30
Situs ambiguous
Reversal of SOME organs (partial)
31
What is a type of situs ambiguous?
Visceroatrial heterotaxia
32
Visceroatrial heterotaxia
Right-sided heart with NORMAL GI tract
33
Is situs ambiguous (visceroatrial heterotaxia) asymptomatic?
NO - can be life - threatening
34
The sinus venosus opens into the?
Primitive atrium
35
The sinus venosus shifts toward the ____
Right
36
All that remains of the left sinus horn becomes the?
Coronary sinus
37
As the atrium enlarges, the sinus venosus only opens into the right atrium and is now called?
Sinoatrial orifice
38
The Right Common Cardinal Vein becomes the?
Superior vena cava
39
The Right Vitelline vein becomes?
Part of the Inferior vena cava
40
Tissue flaps develop on either side of the opening of the sinoatrial orifice and are known as?
Venous valves
41
The fold of the left sinus horn is a valve of?
Coronary sinus
42
Left valvular fold is a valve of?
Inferior Vena Cava
43
What form the SA node?
Right sinus horn and Right common cardinal vein
44
What form to partition the heart into 4 chambers and by what 2 mechanisms?
Septa 1. Differential growth 2. New tissue - endocardial cushion tissue
45
Differential growth makes which septa and what portion of them?
Atrial septum and Interventricular septum | - Muscular portions
46
Differential growth never fully _____ lumen
Closes
47
Describe how endocardial cushion tissue is made
- Myocardium secretes molecules into cardiac jelly - Induces formation and proliferation of new mesenchymal cells derived from endocardium = Endocardial cushion tissue
48
Endocardial Cushion Tissue makes what portion of septa and ridges in outflow tract?
Fibrous portions
49
AV septum separates?
Atrium from ventricle
50
What fuse to create the AV septum?
Superior and inferior endocardial cushion tissues
51
Endocardial cushion tissues also form what valves?
Tricuspid and Bicuspid valves
52
Conotruncal ridges in the outflow tract are made of what 2 things?
1. NCCs | 2. Endocardial cushion tissue
53
Why must the conus arteriosus be divided by a conotruncal ridge?
So blood exits the left and right ventricle through different vessels
54
What does the division of the truncus arteriosus by a conotruncal ridge create?
Aorta and Pulmonary artery
55
Persistent AV canal
Failure of AV septum fusion (superior and inferior endocardial cushion tissue) and NO AV valves
56
What disease is a persistent AV canal associated with and what are a few symptoms?
Down's syndrome | - Intolerance to exercise, shortness of breath, cardiac congestion

Seals - closes foramen ovale
68
Describe the pathway of events for atrial septal defects if blood is allowed to move from left to right
``` Increased blood to right ventricle Increased blood to the lungs Lung damage Pulmonary resistance Right ventricle hypertrophy Blood moves from right to left = cyanosis ```
69
Ostium 2 (high atrial defect)
Hole due to excessive absorption of septum primum or inadequate development of septum secundum
70
Ostium 1 (low atrial defect)
Failure to fill in ostium primum with DMP and cushion tissue
71
What causes cyanosis?
Mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood due to low O2 saturation of blood
72
Signs of cyanosis?
Clubbing of fingers Bluish tint to skin, fingernail beds, lips Fatigue
73
The AV canal shifts to the?
Right
74
AV canal shifts through what mechanism?
Myocardialization - outer myocardial wall thinned and further remodeling through apoptosis
75
Double outlet right ventricle
Both aorta and pulmonary artery exit the right ventricle accompanied by a VSD (ventricular septal defect)
76
Double outlet right ventricle is due to?
Insufficient AV canal shifting or cardiac looping
77

Cushion tissue
