Q

Extraembryonic Vasculogenesis and early hematopoiesis timeline

A

Day 17: Begins in yolk sac. Hemangioblasts differentiate and form hematopoietic progenitor and endothelial precursor cells.
Day 18: Intraembryonic vasculogenesis
Day 23: Early hematopoietic cells populate the developing liver
Day 27: Hematopoietic stem cells are programmed from hemogenic endothelial cells in the AGM region of the dorsal aorta.
Day 30: Programmed cells seed liver.
Day 40: Cells disappear from AGM region.

Q

Atrial septal defects

A

2:1 prevalence in females to males. Most ASDs result in an initial L to R atrial shunting leading to pulmonary damage, increase in pulmonary resistance and R ventricle hypertrophy causing R to L shunting, cyanosis and congestive heart failure.

Q

Heart sounds: 4 is…
1 is…
2 is…
3 is…

Study These Flashcards
A

4 - Atrial topping off ventricle (end of atrial systole)
1 - AV valves closing and blood hitting closed valves during isovolumetric contraction of ventricles.
2 - Aortic and pulmonary valves closing
3 - Rapid filling of ventricles

25
QRS wave corresponds with what on an EKG
Closing of the mitral valve before ventricular contraction
26
Systolic vs Diastolic murmur
Systolic: Mitral regurgitation and aorta/pulmonary A. stenosis Diastolic: aorta/pulmonary A. regurgitation and mitral/tricuspid stenosis
27
Chronotropic
Changes in heart rate. | Positive effect increases heart rate and negative effect slows.
28
Inotropic and Lusitropic
Strength of muscular contraction and rate of muscle relaxation.
29
Dromotropic
Speed of conductance.
30
Parasympathetic Stim.
Vagus nerve using ACh neurotransmitter and M2/M3 muscarinic receptors. Generally slows heart rate (neg. chronotropic and dromotropic effects). ATRIAL ONLY
31
Sympathetic Stim.
Norepi. neurotransmitter and Beta1-adrenergic receptors. Generally speeds up heart rate (pos. chronotropic, dromotropic and inotropic/lusitropic effects).
32
Cardiac Output
Heart rate x stroke volume | approximately 5L/min
33
Preload
Wall tension in L ventricle just before contraction is initiated.
34
Afterload
Pressure required to open aortic valve
35
Stroke volume
End diastolic vol. -- End systolic vol. | approximately 70ml
36
Ejection Fraction
Stroke volume/End diastolic vol. | approximately 55%
37
Persistent AV Canal
Linked to Down's syndrome. Failure of AV septum fusion.
38
Sympathetic effect on juxtaglomerular apparatus
Increases blood volume. Beta 1 receptor increases renin releases causing release of angiotensin -> angiotensin 2 -> aldosterone -> reabsorption of Na+ and release of ADH increasing H2O absorption
39
The sinus venarum and pulmonary v's develop from
The right horn of the sinus venosis
40
Di George syndrome (22q11) is linked to
Tetralogy of Fallot and truncus arteriosis
41
Down's Syndrome is linked to
ASDs, VSDs and arrhythmias
42
Transposition of the great vessels is linked to
maternal diabetes
43
Coarctation of the aorta is linked to
Turner's Syndrome, monosomy (X )
44
Aortic atresia is linked to
Marfan's Syndrome
45
What is Ectopia cordis
the heart is located abnormally outside the thoracic cavity commonly caused by failure of fusion of the lateral folds in forming the thoracic wall.
46
Congenital heart defects are common problems caused by
teratogens, rubella virus or single-gene factors/chromosomal abnormalities
47
The aortic arch develops from
the 4th aortic arch on the L side. It develops into the brachiocephalic trunk and subclavian A's on the R.
48
What structure is the ductus arteriosus derived from?
6th aortic arch?
49
PDA symptoms
Enlarged pulmonary A's, murmur during auscultation with normal heart valves, increased atrial pressure.
50
What nerve is solely responsible for the pericardium
Phrenic nerve
51
What nerve radiates pain to the arm during an MI?
Intercostobrachial
52
The proximal ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk develop from the
Truncus arteriosus
53
Tge ascending aorta and R brachiocephalic trunk are derived from the
aortic sac
54
The L and R common carotid and internal carotid A's come from
the 3rd arch
55
Arch 4 becomes
on the R -> right subclavian A and the L -> aortic arch
56
arch 6 becomes
the R -> R pulmonary artery and L -> L pulmonary A and ductus arteriosus
57
``` Beck's Triad: 1. Distant heart sounds 2. Jugular distention 3. Hypotension (Low BP) (+/- signs of shock) ```
Cardiac Tamponade
58
Kerley B lines are indicative of
Pulmonary edema or lymphoma. | Kerley A lines suggest distention of lymphatic anastomoses
