33 a depression appears in roof of common Atrium and a ridge approaches the AV canal – Septum Primum • Under its lower free edge is Ostium Primum • As Septum primum approaches Endocardial cushions, apoptosis forms – Ostium Secundum Medial view 24 Atrial Septation • Day 33-37 A second septum forms – Septum secundum • Crescentic growth never entirely complete • Free space – Foramen Ovale • Septum primum forms Valve of foramen ovale newborn newborn 25 Pulmonary vein • As septum primum is forming, a protrusion form the dorsal mesocardium follows it into the heart. • In the mesenchyme is the primitive pulmonary vein • Pulmonary vein is incorporated into the wall of the Left Atrium • It send two branches to each lung, but atrial growth eventually incorporates all four branches in the wall • These branches meet with developing venous plexuses near developing lungs 26 Septation of the outflow tracts Superior inferior • week – single ventricular outflow • Conolotruncal ridges (cushions) begin to form • Grow distally and spiral • When the two conus swellings have fused, the septum divides the conus into an 5th – anterolateral portion (the outflow tract of the right ventricle) and a – posteromedial portion (the outflow tract of the left ventricle) 7 weeks 27 Semilunar valves • Left and right swelling in the wall and one on either side of the fused conotruncal ridges 28 Aortic Arches 29 Aortic arches • Starting in the 4th week, Pharyngeal arches develop each has its own pair of arteries from the aortic sac 1st AA • 5 arches develop cranial to caudally over the next 3-4 weeks – Numbered 1- • Each arch terminates in the paired dorsal aorta 30 • As embryo grows more arches develop • Intersegmental arteries grow out supplying surrounding tissues 1st aa 2nd aa 4 weeks 6 weeks 31 • 4th week: 1st arch has regressed, second is going • 3rd and fourth well developed 3rd aa 4th aa • Longitudinal connections between intersegmental arteries 1-7 form and extend cranially 32 • • • • Week 5-6 arches 1 and 2 gone 6th arch present DA degenerates between 3 and 4 7th intersegmental artery grows out to the upper limb bud 3rd aa 4th aa 6th aa • Longitudinal artery extends up to brain – Vertebral arteries • 3rd becomes Common and Internal carotid arteries 7th Intersegmental Artery 33 • 6-7 weeks Right dorsal aorta degenerates • 1-6 intersegmental arteries degenerate • 7th intersegmental becomes subclavian ( diff on right • Pulmonary trunk septation • 6 Arch send branches to Lungs – pulmonary arteries 3rd aa 4th aa 6th aa 7th Intersegmental Artery 34 35 36 Fates of Embryological Structures Embryo Adult Sinus venosus (sinus venarum) Right atrium, smooth part Sinus Venosus Right Horn – Superior Vena Cava Left Horn – Coronary sinus Primitive Atrium Right and Left Atria Pulmonary Veins Left atrium – smooth part Primitive Ventricle Left Ventricle Bulbus cordis: Proximal 1/3 Right Ventricle Bulbus cordis: middle 1/3 (conus cordis) Infundibulum (RV) and Aortic vestibule (LV) Bulbus cordis: distal 1/3 (truncus arteriosus) Proximal Aorta and Pulmonary trunk Endocardial cushions AV valves, Membranous IV septum, lower IA septum, Spiral septum 37 Fates of Embryological Structures Aortic Arch Right Left Aortic sac Proximal Aortic arch and proximal brachiocephalic trunk 1st and 2nd Arteries in the head and neck (just wait till MD4001) 3rd Right common carotid Proximal Internal carotid Left common carotid Proximal Internal carotid 4th Right Proximal subclavian Aortic arch -

Patent ductus arteriosus Ductus arteriosus is the connection between 6th aortic arch and left dorsal aorta. After full development, it extends between pulmonary trunk and aorta (distal to the origin of left subclavian artery) • No clear cause; Chromosomal abnormalities, prematurity, low birth weight, prostaglandins, high altitude and low atmospheric oxygen tension, hypoxia Atrial septal defect (ASD) (Ostium primum defect is a form of ASD) IA septum is formed by septum primum and septum secundum • Caused by failure of proper development of septum secundum • or failure of closure of ostium primum • Excessive Resorption of Septum Primum • Absence of the Septum Secundum 39 Congenital conditions Condition Embryology and cause Ventricular septal defect (VSD) (most common congenital heart defect) IV septum is derived from endocardial cushion (membranous) and walls of primordial ventricle and bulbus cordis (muscular) • Caused by a defect either in membranous (more common) or muscular portion of IV septum • or failure of fusion of membranous or muscular portions Tetralogy of Fallot (VSD, pulmonary artery stenosis, deviation of the aortic origin to the right (overriding aorta), hypertrophy of RV) • Caused by unequal division of conus cordis with resultant anterior displacement (malalignment) of the aorticopulmonary septum Transposition of the great vessels • Caused by failure of the aorticopulmonary (conotruncal) septum to spiral Coarctation of aorta (narrowing of • No clear cause; contraction of ductus arteriosus the aorta, usually distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery from the arch of aorta) 40 Sources of figures and Images • • • • • • • • DAFFNER: Daffner & Hartman.
