First system to function in embryo
Cardiovascular system
Heart will be anterior to
Oropharyngeal membrane
What attaches heart to wall
Dorsal mesocardium
What forms the coelomic cavity
Serous pericardium: visceral and parietal pericardium
Fibrous pericardium
Pericardial cavity between visceral and parietal
At what day do heart tubes fuse in midline
Day 19
At what day does blood flow start and pumping heart
Day 21
What forms the pulmonary artery
Truncus arteriosus
What will form the diaphragm
Septum transversum
At what day does the heart get bigger at level of ventricle and atrium
Day 22, 23
How does the heart adopt an S-shape
By folding on itself
Where will ventricles move during folding of heart
Ventrally and to the right
Where will atrium move during folding of heart
Dorsally and to the left
Why are the atria at the back in adult heart
Due to folding of atrium dorsally and to the left during fetal development
Truncus arteriosus –>
Aorta/pulmonary trunk
Conus arteriosus –>
Right + left ventricle (smooth part)
Primitive ventricle
Right and left ventricle (trabecular part)
Primitive atrium
Right and left atrium (trabecular part)
Sinus venosus –>
Right atrium smooth part + coronary sinus
When will the dorsal mesocardium dissapear
When heart attached to vessels and arteries
Space: transverse pericardial sinus
What is sinus venosus
Opening going to the common atrium
Location of sinus venosus
Right side
Which vein does not have a valve
Superior cava vein
What are endocardial cushions
2 thick areas developing in walls that divide the 4 chambers of the heart
From where will endocardial cushions be formed
Neural crest cells
