    Study Notes

    • Angiogenesis is a process responsible for expanding and remodeling existing vascular networks, important for growth, development, and tissue repair.

    • First blood vessels, called capillaries, are formed through a process called vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.

    • Arteries are thick-walled vessels that transport blood away from the heart under high pressure, with three distinct layers: intima, media, and adventitia.

    • Capillaries are single-layer vessels that facilitate exchange of substances between the blood and extracellular fluid.

    • Veins are thin-walled vessels that transport blood towards the heart under low pressure, and have valves to prevent backflow.

    • Arteries and veins are defined by their direction of blood flow and resulting specific anatomical and functional features.

    • The heart is the first functional organ in vertebrate embryos and beats spontaneously by certain developmental stages.

    • Heart development begins with the formation of endothelial tubes, which eventually become the heart, and are joined together to form a single, pumping organ.

    • The heart is composed of the cardiac endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium, each with distinct functions.

    • Arteries and veins have distinct wall structures and functions based on their roles in transporting blood under varying pressure conditions.

    • Haematopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation from pluripotent stem cells.

    • First extra-embryonic haematopoietic period, the mesoblastic period, takes place in the yolk sac during the first third of embryonic development.

    • Blood islands in the yolk sac walls form from haemangioblasts, which are multipotent precursor cells that can differentiate into both blood cells and blood vessels.

    • Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) form in the centre of the blood islands, and the first blood cells produced are primitive red blood cells (primitive erythrocytes).

    • During the middle third of pregnancy, haematopoiesis moves to the liver and spleen, forming nucleus-free erythrocytes and the first leukocytes and thrombocytes.

    • The final haematopoietic period occurs in the last third of pregnancy, with haematopoietic activity located in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen.

    • In the postnatal period, bone marrow produces all red blood cells and 60–70% of white cells, while lymphatic tissues produce lymphocytes, and reticuloendothelial tissues produce monocytes.

    • Pluripotent stem cells colonise the liver during the hepatolienal period.

    • The earliest stage of hematopoiesis takes place in the blood islands of the yolk sac, and blood vessels form through either vasculogenesis or angiogenesis.

    • Vasculogenesis is the de novo formation of blood vessels from endothelial progenitor cells, and it plays a role in the formation of the first blood vessels in the yolk sac and allantois.

    • Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, and it is a lifelong process.

    • The vascularisation of the foetal membranes is a result of local formation of new capillaries in the yolk sac and allantois, rather than protrusion of embryonic vessels into the placenta.

    • Haematopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation from pluripotent stem cells.

    • First extra-embryonic haematopoietic period, the mesoblastic period, takes place in the yolk sac during the first third of embryonic development.

    • Blood islands in the yolk sac walls form from haemangioblasts, which are multipotent precursor cells that can differentiate into both blood cells and blood vessels.

    • Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) form in the centre of the blood islands, and the first blood cells produced are primitive red blood cells (primitive erythrocytes).

    • During the middle third of pregnancy, haematopoiesis moves to the liver and spleen, forming nucleus-free erythrocytes and the first leukocytes and thrombocytes.

    • The final haematopoietic period occurs in the last third of pregnancy, with haematopoietic activity located in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen.

    • In the postnatal period, bone marrow produces all red blood cells and 60–70% of white cells, while lymphatic tissues produce lymphocytes, and reticuloendothelial tissues produce monocytes.

    • Pluripotent stem cells colonise the liver during the hepatolienal period.

    • The earliest stage of hematopoiesis takes place in the blood islands of the yolk sac, and blood vessels form through either vasculogenesis or angiogenesis.

    • Vasculogenesis is the de novo formation of blood vessels from endothelial progenitor cells, and it plays a role in the formation of the first blood vessels in the yolk sac and allantois.

    • Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, and it is a lifelong process.

    • The vascularisation of the foetal membranes is a result of local formation of new capillaries in the yolk sac and allantois, rather than protrusion of embryonic vessels into the placenta.

    • Atrium partition: Septum primum, a membranous tissue, grows from the ceiling of the atrium, dividing it into left and right halves.

    • A strong muscular septum secundum grows immediately to the right of septum primum, gradually overlapping the foramen secundum during fetal development.

    • An incomplete partition of the atrium by the septum secundum forms the foramen ovale, allowing temporary communication between the right and left atria during prenatal life.

    • The remaining portion of the septum primum acts as the valve of the foramen ovale, preventing blood flow from the left atrium into the right atrium after birth.

    • The two septa fuse to form the final inter-atrial septum, but a remnant of the foramen ovale remains as an indentation in the wall of the right atrium, the fossa ovalis.

    • Ventricle partition: The primordial interventricular septum is a muscular ridge that forms early in development, dividing the ventricle into left and right halves.

    • A temporary interventricular foramen exists between the free edge of the interventricular septum and the endocardial cushions, which is closed by the membranous part of the interventricular septum.

    • The endocardial cushions grow and fuse in the midline to form the septum intermedium, dividing the primary atrioventricular channel into the left and right atrioventricular openings.

    • The left and right atrioventricular valves are formed from mesenchyme of the endocardial cushions, with the left valve having two flaps (bicuspid or mitral valves) and the right valve having three flaps (tricuspid valves).

    • The partitioning of the atrium and ventricle also affects the atrioventricular canal, with endocardial cushions fusing to form the septum intermedium and divide the common canal into the left and right atrioventricular openings.

    • The bulbus cordis and truncus arteriosus are the origins of the left and right halves of the ventricle, respectively, and are gradually separated by an interventricular septum.

    • The bulbar ridges, subendocardial swellings along the lumen of the bulbus cordis, grow inwardly and merge to form the spiral septum (aorticopulmonary septum), dividing the bulbus cordis and truncus arteriosus into the aortic trunk and pulmonary trunk.
