Q

The Trophoblast cells over the embryoblast differentiate into 2 layers:

A

 Syncytiotrophoblast – multi-nucleated, outer zone
 no cell boundries
 Cytotrophoblast – mononucleated cells, inner layer (look like normal cells)
 distinct cells
 Cells from cytotrophoblast divide and migrate into the syncytiotrophoblast
 Fuse and lose individual cell membrane – multi-nucleated
 Both layers become part of the chorion (one of the fetal membranes)

Q

What starts at day 8

A

 GASTRULATION: Process for establishing 3 germ layers
 Inner cell mass differentiates into:
 Ectoderm
 Endoderm
 Mesoderm
 These are the major embryonic tissues from which all tissues and organs of the body develop.

21
Q

Gastrulation: Cells of the epiblast migrate to the primitive streak

A

 Regulated by fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8)
 Made by streak cells
 Down-regulated with E-Cadherin (causing things to be loose)
 Protein normally holds epiblasts together
 Loss of E-Cadherin allows cells to detach and move
 Arrive and become “flask-like”
 Detach from epiblast and slip beneath it
 Epiblast is the source of the germ layers.
 Inward movement / cause invagination
 Cells displace the hypoblast
 Creates Endoderm
 Others lie between the epiblast and the new endoderm
 Mesoderm
 Cells remaining in the epiblast
 Ectoderm

22
Q

Around 14 days after fertilization after gastrulation

A

 Inner Cell Mass now called an Embryonic Disc as amniotic cavity starts to form.
 Ectoderm – Layer of cells of the inner cell mass closest to the amniotic cavity.
 Endoderm – layers of inner cell mass that borders the blastocele.
 Mesoderm – Lies between the ectoderm and endoderm.

23
Q

Ectoderm Becomes:

A

 Skin, teeth, mouth glands, nervous system, some endocrine glands.

24
Q

Endoderm Becomes:

25
Q

Mesoderm Becomes:

A

 All connective tissue, the muscular, skeletal, lymphatic, and circulatory systems.

26
Q

Cardiovascular system development

A

 Cardiovascular System appears in the middle of the 3rd week.
 At this point the embryo is no longer able to survive via diffusion alone.
 The Cardiovascular System reaches a functional state long before any of the other systems
 Vascular system develops from a simple symmetrical plexus, into an asymmetrical complex system
 The size of the embryonic heart in relation to the size of the embryo is enormous compared to an adult heart in an adult size body.

27
Q

Progenitor Heart Cells

A

 Day 16-18
 Lie in the Epiblast.
 Adjacent to the cranial end of the primitive streak
 Move through the streak and into the splanchnic layer of the mesoderm.
 Form a horse-shoe shaped cluster of cells called the Primitive Heart Field (PHF)
 Will form blood islands and cardiac myoblasts
 These will form blood cells and blood vessels.
 Blood islands unite and form a horse-shoe shaped tube
 Endothelial cell lined
 Surrounded by myoblasts

28
Q

First parts of the heart to show up (from primary heart field cells) (set up the sturcture)

A
  • Specified on both sides
    • Atria
    • LV
    • RV (part of it)
29
Q

Day 20-21 secondary heart field cells develop and add to (part of the growth and development of the heart tube and heart itself)

A
• RV
• Conus Cordis
• Truncus Arteriosus
• Lengthen outflow tract
• Also have laterality
        • Those on right side add to left side of heart tube
        • Those on left side add to the right side of heart
tube.
30
Q

Serotonin (5HT)

A

 Serotonin (5HT) initiates the R/L patterning
 Concentrated on the LEFT side
 Degrading enzyme (Monoamine Oxidase) is in high concentrations on the RIGHT side
 Leads to expression of the PITX2 gene (master gene for the LEFT side)
 All occurs about day 16-18 – critical for heart development

31
Q

Intraembryonic Celom (Body Cavity)

A

 Formed by the joining of small (initially isolated) spaces which appear in the lateral mesoderm
 Bilateral cavities extend cranially and fuse with each other forming a horseshoe-shaped cavity
 Eventually becomes the pericardial cavity

32
Q

Blood Islands

A

 Heart development starts at the end of the 3rd week of gestation.
 Occurs in the ventral region of the embryo, inferior to the foregut.
 Scattered masses of angiogenic cells appear in the mesenchyme derived from PHF
 Occurs ventral (in front of) the intraembryonic celom.
 Anterior part of the celom will develop the pericardial cavity

33
Q

Endocardial Tube Formation

A

 Angiogenic cells form clusters (Blood Islands) which increase in size and number.
 Acquire a lumen, unite and form a plexus of blood vessels
 From this plexus, bilateral endocardial tubes develop.
 The Endocardial tubes unite to form a common
tube
 Primitive Heart Tube

34
Q

Day 21-22

A

 the single heart tube starts to beat

35
Q

Formation of the Heart Tube

A

 Heart tube continues to elongate
 Cells are added from the secondary heart field to the cranial end of the tube
 Process is essential for normal formation of part of the RV, the Conus Cordis (RV outflow) and the Truncus Arteriosus (LV outflow)
 Also essential for looping
 If lengthening doesn’t occur, where outflow tract defects come from

36
Q

Dorsal Aortas

A

 Meanwhile, Other blood islands appear inferior (below) to the endocardial tubes
 Eventually give rise to dorsal aortas.
Will connect with the endocardial tubes
Establish the arterial end of the heart
 Other end of the future endocardial tubes will make contact with the vitelline veins (via the sinus venosus) and establish a venous pole.

37
Q

Day 23 after the tube starting to beat

A

 Newly formed heart tube starts to bend
 Cephalic part bends ventrally, caudally, and to the right.
 Caudal part bends dorsocranially, and to the left.
 Bulges into the pericardial cavity
 Attached to dorsal wall by mesoderm
 Mesoderm eventually ruptures
 Leaves heart tube suspended in pericardial cavity

A

 Day 23-28 (TAKES 5 DAYS)
 Heart undergoes a series of folding that leads to the formation of the bulboventricular loop.
 Heart Tube grows rapidly in length, especially the midsection (Bulbus Cordis and Ventricle)
 Because the two ends are fixed, heart tube is forced to bend in order to adapt itself to the pericardial space causing:
 Forms a U-Shape
 Then Forms an S-Shape
 Oriented so that the atrium and sinus venosus lie superior to the bulbus cordis, ventricle and dorsal aorta/aortic sac

45

A

 bulboventricular sulcus
Remains narrow
Called the primary interventricular foramen

47
Q

Heart Folding – Atrium
