Unit 2.L3-Development of Heart & Cardiovascular System Flashcards
(135 cards)
Formation of the Earliest Cardiac field
By Day 15, what mesoderm splits and what is formed and how?
- Day 15: Caudally, Lateral plate mesoderm splits to forms the pericardial coelom cranially.
- How??: Cardiogenic cells in the Splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm move cranio-medially while the mesoderm is splitting.
Formation of the Earliest Cardiac field
Blood islands develop by Day 18, what is formed and how?
Day 18: Blood islands develop & merge at the cranial end to form a horseshoe-shaped endothelial cell “Cardiac Tube”
What forms the Cardic Tube (horseshoe-shaped endothelial cell)?
Day 18
Blood islands that develop and merge at the cranial end
By Day 15, cardiac specification between what occurs? And which cells move?
- Cardiac specification between → endoderm/neural folds or epidermis, when mesodermal cells move to cranial ends
What does the Primative Streak Mesoderm cells invaginate between? What direction does it go? And what does it form?
Day 15
The Primitive Streak Mesoderm cells invaginate between neural fold & endoderm and go latero-cranially to form cardiogenic sub-fields
1. Atria (outer)
2. LV, RV (Ventricles)
3. C/T (Conotruncus or Outflow tract) (inner)
What is found in the Cardiogenic sub-fields?
- Atria (outer)
- LV, RV (Ventricles)
- Conotruncus; CT (Outflow tract;OFT) (inner)
By day 18, what does the cardiogenic sub-fields become?
3 Somite Stage
Two cardiac crescents that form the Primary & Secondary Heart Fields
What can be used to identify each type of cell in the primary and secondary heart field?
Lineage tracing identifies each type of cell using tissue-specific gene-promoters or specific RNA/protein markers (MLC; myosin light chain, C)
What is the position of the Primary Heart Field and what is present there?
Primary Heart Field (Cranially):
Atria & Ventricle progenitor cells
What is the position of the Secondary Heart Field and what is present there?
Secondary Heart Field (Caudally):
Outflow tract + Great Vessels
At Day 18, what does the endothelial cell tube forms? And how does it move? And what occurs to the embryo?
The endothelial cell tube→“Angioblastic” cord→moves rostrally as the embryo head folds
By Day 20, lateral folding forms what two structures that eventually move closer and fuse into what?
[2-pericardial coeloms + 2-heart tubes] come nearer & fuse → [2- heart-tube + 1-pericardial cavity]
Where does the septum transversum develop?
The septum transversum develops most cranially
How is the Dorsal Aorta formed?
Dorsal Aortae are formed bilaterally, independent of the heart
What is the origin of the Primary/first heart field (FHF) and what does it form?
- Origin: Primitive streak
- Forms: Left & Right Atria & Left Ventricle: (LA + RA + LV)
What is the origin of the Secondary heart field (SHF) and what does it form?
- Medial origin: Splanchnic Pharyngeal Mesoderm
- Forms: Right ventricle (RV), Outflow tract (CT or OFT)
What does lateral folding cause?
MIdline fusion of 2 heart tubes
When do we have a single heart tube?
Day 20
By Day 20, lateral folding merges two heart fields. What else is merged and formed? (2)
- Merging/fusing endocardial (endothelial) cell lining) & formation of [2-heart tubes + 2-Aortae]
- Formation of the Cardiac Jelly (extracellular matrix/ECM/connective tissue) & Myocardium
What suspends the tubular heart by day 22?
Dorsal mesocardium “suspends” the tubular heart
By Day 22:
1. What starts to fuses into a single heart tube?
2. What differentiates and what does it form?
3. What type of -cardium forms?
- 2-heart tubes start to fuse into Single heart tube
- Cardiomyocyte differentiate→Muscular heart walls
- Epicardium (visceral pericardium) forms
What is the origin of the Epicardium (visceral pericardium) formed by Day 22?
Origin: Mesothelial cells of the developing Sinus Venosus (PEO or Pre-Epicardial Organ)
How is the heart tube and central tendon of the diaphragm formed? (What folds and what moves ventral to the foregut? What structures position switch? Where does the septum transversum lies and what does it form?)
- The head folds & the tubular heart/pericardial cavity move ventral to the foregut
- Positions of the pericardial cavity and septum transversum reverses
- Septum transversum lies posterior to the pericardial cavity & forms the “Central tendon of the diaphragm”
What forms the central tendon of the diaphragm?
The Septum transversum that lies posterior to the pericardial cavity
