Study Notes
Embryo Heart Development
- The embryo's heart begins as a simple tube.
- Initially, the heart tube forms from cardiogenic mesoderm.
- The heart tube forms a series of interconnected chambers, including the bulbus cordis, ventricle, and atrium.
- It then fuses to form a more complex structure.
- The heart's position moves from a pre-cardiac location to a more ventral position in the body cavity.
- The heart tube develops a series of folds and bends.
- The folding and bending help to define the distinct chambers.
- The folding and bending also shift the heart tube to the more anterior location.
- Blood vessels develop from hemangioblasts and grow to connect with the heart.
- Endocardial cushions form at AV junctions.
Pericardial Cavity
- The pericardial cavity forms around the developing heart tube.
- It's a potential space that's filled with pericardial fluid.
- The pericardial cavity facilitates heart movement.
Heart Tube Formation
- Endoderm cells lining the heart tube form the endocardium.
- Cardiac myocytes form the myocardium.
- Cardiac jelly fills the space between the endocardium and myocardium.
- The endocardium is the innermost layer of the heart.
- The myocardium is the middle layer of the heart.
- The epicardium is the outermost heart layer.
- The epicardium is an epithelial lining.
Heart Development Summary
- The embryo's heart develops from the cardiogenic mesoderm.
- The heart develops as a simple tube that undergoes folding and bending.
- The heart tube eventually forms distinct chambers.
- Blood vessels connect to the heart.
- The pericardial cavity forms around the heart tube.
Cardiac Septa Formations
- Septa grow to divide the atria and ventricles.
- Septum primum grows from the top towards the endocardial cushions.
- Septum secundum grows from the top towards the endocardial cushions.
- The foramen ovale is a hole between the atria.
Aortic and Pulmonary Trunks
- The truncus arteriosus forms two distinct vessels; the pulmonary artery and the aorta.
- These develop from the truncus arteriosus.
Heart Valves
- AV valves (tricuspid and mitral) form from endocardial cushions.
- Semilunar valves (pulmonary and aortic) form from the bulbus cordis/truncus arteriosus regions.
Coarctation of the Aorta
- Aorta narrowing is a common congenital condition.
- The condition is related to changes in aorta size.
Pharyngeal Arches
- Pharyngeal arches form as a series of outgrowths.
- The pharyngeal arch is made of mesoderm, endoderm, and neural crest.
- The pharyngeal arches develop important structures.
- They are essential for the development of the face and neck.
Important Anatomical Structures of the Heart
- Atria are the entry points for blood from the veins.
- Ventricles pump blood out of the heart to the rest of the body
- All components of the heart must be connected.
