    Study Notes

    Development of the Left Atrium

    • The anterior rough part of the left atrium and left auricle develop from the left half of the primitive atrium.
    • The posterior smooth part (between the openings of the pulmonary veins) develops from the absorption of pulmonary veins.
    • The ventral smooth part develops from the left half of the atrioventricular canal.

    Development of the Ventricles

    • Each ventricle develops from two parts:
      • A rough part from the corresponding primitive ventricle.
      • A smooth part (the outflow portion of each ventricle), derived from the conus cordis and the proximal part of the bulbus cordis.

    Partitioning and Septation of the Primordial Heart

    • Septation and partitioning of the heart tubes result in the formation of the separate 4 chambers of the heart and septation of the outflow.
    • The major septa of the heart are formed between the 27th and 37th days of development.

    Partitioning of the Atrioventricular Canal

    • Partitioning of the atrioventricular canal begins with the formation of the two atrioventricular cushions, also called the endocardial cushions.
    • The two cushions grow towards each other and fuse together to form the atrioventricular septum (AV septum).

    Partitioning of the Primitive Ventricle

    • Partitioning of the common ventricle is achieved by the formation of the interventricular septum, also called the IV septum.
    • The interventricular septum develops from three parts:
      • Muscular part: develops from a muscular ridge arising on the floor of the primitive ventricle.
      • Bulbar part: develops from right and left bulbar ridges arising from conus cordis.
      • Membranous part: develops from proliferation of AV cushion that fills the gap between muscular and bulbar parts.

    Development of the Conducting System of the Heart

    • The sinoatrial node develops during the 5th week of IUL and is initially located in the right wall of the sinus venosus.
    • The AV node and AV bundle (bundle of His) are derived from cells in the left wall of the sinus venosus and AV canal.

    Development of the Pericardium

    • The pericardium develops from two layers:
      • Fibrous pericardium derived from somatopleuric mesoderm and septum transversum.
      • Serous pericardium:
    • Parietal pericardium derived from somatic mesoderm.
    • Visceral pericardium derived from visceral splanchnic mesoderm (also called epicardium).

    Dorsal Mesocardium and Transverse Pericardial Sinus

    • The dorsal mesocardium is a fold of mesodermal tissue that attaches the developing heart tube to the dorsal side of the pericardial cavity.
    • The middle section of the dorsal mesocardium disappears, creating the transverse pericardial sinus, which connects both sides of the pericardial cavity.
