Study Notes
Heart Development
- The heart forms from the lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) layer of embryonic tissue.
- The heart starts functioning in the developing embryo around week 3-4.
- Initially, during development, the heart field develops from the lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) layer.
Heart Field and Migration
- The cells of the heart field that migrate between the mesoderm and endoderm are called cardiogenic cells or precordial cells.
- The cardiogenic cords eventually form the heart tube during heart development.
Heart Tube Formation
- The primary heart field (PHF) initiates the formation of the heart tube during development.
- The two endocardial tubes fuse to form a single heart tube during week 3-4 of development.
- During lateral folding, the two endocardial tubes come close together and eventually fuse.
Structures and Contributions
- The secondary heart field (SHF) contributes to the formation of the right ventricle, outflow tracts (aorta and pulmonary trunk), and the superior vena cava.
- The anterior heart field (AHF) forms the anterior parts of the right and left atria.
- The sinus venosus receives blood from the umbilical, vitelline, and common cardinal veins on each side.
- The secondary heart field (SHF) forms the superior vena cava and part of the right atrium.
- The bulbis cordis forms the aorta and pulmonary trunk.
- The primary interventricular foramen connects the left ventricle to the heart tube.
Ventricular Septum Formation
- The muscular interventricular septum forms through the growth and fusion of the ventricular walls.
- The membranous part of the interventricular septum forms through the fusion of the atrioventricular canal cushions.
- The conotruncal septum forms the membranous part of the interventricular septum during ventricular septum formation.
- The final step in the closure of the interventricular foramen is the fusion of the septum with the ventricular wall.
Atrial Septal Defects (ASD)
- Excessive resorption of the septum primum is responsible for atrial septal defects (ASD).
- The characteristic feature of atrial septal defects (ASD) is a persistent opening in the atrial septum.
- Atrial septal defects (ASD) are associated with a persistent truncus arteriosus and an interventricular septal defect.
Heart Development and Birth
- The fetal shunts close after birth, redirecting blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
- The ductus arteriosus connects the aorta with the pulmonary artery, shunting blood away from the lungs and into the aorta.
- The foramen ovale allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to reach the left atrium.
- The foramen ovale closes after birth, and the septum primum forms the fossa ovalis.
Fallot's Tetralogy
- Fallot's Tetralogy is characterized by a combination of four heart defects: pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, ventricular septal defect, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
- Fallot's Tetralogy is associated with a ventricular septal defect, not an atrial septal defect.
Heart Tube Transformation
- The endocardial heart tube transforms into its adult shape through the formation of septa and the growth of the ventricular walls.
