Question
Answer
Congenital heart defects   show
🗑
Formation of the cardiac crescent   show
🗑
show Lateral endoderm secretes Bmp2 which induces cardiac mesoderm formation Inhibitors of Bmp2 e.g. Chordin and noggin produced by notochord and midline endoderm to repress cardiogenic formation  
🗑
show Angiogenic clusters coalesce to form angiogenic tubes Condensation of mesoderm Rostral to neural plate Fuse in the midline by rostral folding Mesodermal cells for cardiomyocytes  
🗑
show Lateral folding brings regions to the midline The left and right dorsal aorta form - undergo remodelling in adults Cardiac jelly - ECM Endocardial tubes surrounded by myocardium Flat sheet undergoes doral folding  
🗑
show Dorsal aorta Truncus arteriosus Bulbus cordis Primitive ventricle Primitive atrium Sinus venosus  
🗑
Contractile activity   show
🗑
Dorsal Mesocardium   show
🗑
show Occurs between days 23-38 4 chambers are brought to the correct spatial arrangement An intrinsic property of heart tubes - can dissect out heart and it will still fold Has an effect on direction of blood flow First sign of left right asymmetry  
🗑
How to the ventricles and atrial move in looping   show
🗑
Asymmetry of the heart   show
🗑
show Takes place between weeks 4-7 Separation of common atrium into left and right Separation of common atrioventricular canal Division of outflow tract Separation of ventricle into left and right  
🗑
Cardiac jelly   show
🗑
Formation of endocardial cushions   show
🗑
show The superior and inferior cushions fuse separating the left and right atrioventricular canals  
🗑
Atrial septation   show
🗑
Septum primum   show
🗑
show Programmed cell death created perforations called foramen secundum at the top of the septum primum Thick muscular SS starts to grow down to the right of the SP but does not fuse with S intermedium  
🗑
Formation of Foramen Ovale   show
🗑
show Two separate streams Blood from placenta enters right atrium via IVC and tends to flo through foramen ovale into left atrium Blood returning from embryo enters right atrium via SVC and flows into right side of the ventricle Leave via Truncus Arteriosus  
🗑
show These are interlinked processes depending on haemodynamic forces generated by blood flow through the heart and left to right shift in symmetry  
🗑
show Interventricular septum grows from the base of the heart upwards towards the endocardial cushions Interventricular septum defects are the most common congenital heart defect Commonly affects membranous part of septum  
🗑
show The process of IV septation is continuous with the septation of the outflow tract Haemodynamic forces cause by the 2 spiralling blood streams act on the cardiac jelly rich wall of the outflow tract Pressure causes formation of spiral ridges that fuse  
🗑
Septation of aortic and pulmonary outflow   show
🗑
show Neural crest cells in the occipital region populate the conotruncal ridges of the outflow tract Neural crest abnormalities are commonly linked with heart abnormalities  
🗑
Outflow tract abnormalities   show
🗑
show Abnormal blood flow can lead to problems of septation of outflow tract e.g. Fallots tetralogy Leads to pulmonary stenosis, interventricular septal defect, over riding aorta and hypertrophy of the right ventricle  
🗑
show Form between 5-8 weeks Endocardial cells migrate into cardiac jelly Ventricular layer is hollowed out and thinned by cell death to form valve leaflet  
🗑
show Forms the future aortic and pulmonary trunks Five pairs of aortic arches form - I, II, III, IV and VI (V is residual) Not all present at once Lies in pharyngeal arches Many vessels lost or remodeled  
🗑
Aortic arch remodelling   show
🗑
show Venous drainage returns to the heart via the cardinal, umbilical and vitelline veins Initially bilaterally symmetrical but is remodelled so that all the systemic venous blood drains into the right side of the heart via SVC and IVC  
🗑
Venous system changes   show
🗑
Foetal circulation   show
🗑
Foetal circulation after birth   show
🗑
