Term
What are the three general phases of heart development?
Definition
Vasculogenesis, heart folding, and septation
Term
What happens during vasculogenesis?
Definition
primordial vascular networks form and fuse as well as develop musculature
Term
Vasculogenic endothelial networks form from which developmental region?
Definition
Cardiogenic region
Term
The vasculogenic endothelial networks are derived from what tissue?
Definition
Splachnopleuric mesoderm
Term
How do the endocardial tubules of vasculogenesis come together?
Definition
Embryonic folding
Term
How does the pericardial cavity form?
Definition
Pericardial coelom associated with each cardiovascular tubule come together
Term
What transitory structure connects to the heart dorsally?
Definition
Dorsal mesocardium
Term
Rupture of the dorsal mesocardium accomplishes what?
Definition
creates the single tube in the pericardium that allows for the dynamic folding necessary for the proper development of the heart
Term
the primitive embryonic heart has inflow from what sources?
Definition
vitelline vein, cardinal veins, and umbilical vein
Term
the primitive embryonic heart has outflow from what sources?
Definition
aorta
Term
What establishes the geographical location of the heart chambers?
Definition
Heart looping and folding. This is seen most critically in the primitive atrium traveling above the primitive ventricles
Term
What cells exist between the myocardium and the endocardium in the developing heart?
Definition
Cardiac Jelly
Term
Cardiac jelly is secreted by which cell?
Definition
Myocardium
Term
Bulbous cordis of the developing hearts contribute to which adult structures?
Definition
smooth part of ventricles
Term
Muscular constriction of the primordial heart help promote what part of cardiovascular development?
Definition
Heart folding
Term
The truncus arteriosus gives rise to what structures?
Definition
Aorta and Pulmonary trunk
Term
The primitive ventricle gives rise to what adult cardiac strucutures?
Definition
trabeculated part of R and L ventricle
Term
The primitive atrium gives rise to what adult cardiac structure?
Definition
Trabeculated part of R and L atrium
Term
The sinus venosus gives rise to what adult cardiac stuctures?
Definition
smooth part of right atrium, coronary sinus, oblique vein of left atrium
Term
The secondary heart field contributes to what adult cardiac structures?
Definition
outflow track and right ventricle
Term
What is the result of an inappropriately folded heart?
Definition
Dextrocardia, right oriented heart
Term
What contributes to correct heart folding?
Definition
Ciliated cells that push signals into an appropriate gradient
Term
What happens during septation?
Definition
Divide Atria, AV canal, and ventricles

Remodel inflow/outflow tracts

form valves
Term
What are the two septum that form in primitive atria?
Definition
Septum primum and septum secundum
Term
What differentiates the septum primum from the septum secundum?
Definition
Septum Primum is rigid whilst the Septum Secundum is more flexible. This allows for fetal blood shunting
Term
What is the ostium secundum?
Definition
As the second septum is forming and covers up the first septum, a new foramen is created so that blood flow is not restricted
Term
How does the atrial shunt work?
Definition
The differing characteristics of the septum combine with atrial blood pressures (reverse after birth) allow for shunting before birth but quickly shuts after birth
Term
What is the first structure to develop during ventricular septation?
Definition
a muscular ventricular septum at the base of the ventricles. Does not extend fully across
Term
What are endocardial cushions? What is the function of these cells?
Definition
Extracellular matrix. Partitioning of the AV canal (walls and valves) and truncus arteriosis
Term
Truncoconal ridges contribute to what?
Definition
Septation of cardiac outflow and ventricles
