Study Notes
Cardiovascular System Development
- Venous drainage at the caudal pole initiates heart pumping.
- Early formation of the cardiogenic area occurs anterior to the oropharyngeal membrane.
- Closure of the neural tube leads to brain vesicle development and the central nervous system’s rapid growth, extending over the cardiogenic region.
- The heart develops from paired tubes that fuse into a single tube, with caudal ends embedded in the septum transversum.
- The outflow tract connects to the aortic sac and aortic arches, with the heart moving from the cervical to thoracic region.
Septum Formation
- By the end of the fourth week, four atrioventricular endocardial cushions form and fuse, creating the right and left atrioventricular canal.
- The canal initially connects only to the primitive left ventricle, separated from the bulbus cordis by the bulbo (cono) ventricular flange.
- Septum formation in ventricles occurs through the growth of myocardial tissue leading to ventricular expansion and trabeculation.
Cardiac Abnormalities
- Holt-Oram Syndrome results from TBX5 gene mutations, linking limb and heart defects, specifically atrial septal defects (ASDs).
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in sarcomere proteins can lead to sudden cardiac death.
- Dextrocardia represents an abnormality in cardiac looping that results in the heart being positioned on the right side of the thorax.
Specific Defects
- Ostium Primum Defect: Results from incomplete fusion of endocardial cushions, creating an atrial septum defect but maintaining a closed interventricular septum.
- Tricuspid Atresia: Characterized by the absence or fusion of the tricuspid valve, associated with several conditions like underdevelopment of the right ventricle, ventricular septal defect (VSD), and hypertrophy of the left ventricle.
