Histology - Cardiac Development Part 2
This deck covers key concepts in cardiac development, focusing on the formation of heart structures and the transition of cells during development.
a subset of cells that undergo endothelial to mesenchymal transition, and migrate into the cardiac jelly (towards to interior of the heart tube) where they will "swell", and give rise to the heart's valves and septa.

a subset of cells that undergo endothelial to mesenchymal transition, and migrate into the cardiac jelly (towards to interior of the heart tube) where they will "swell", and give rise to the heart's valves and septa.
endocardial cushions
Partition of the right and left ventricles
Interventricular septum
Form from bulges in the wall of the Conotruncal region during AP septum formation, with valve leaflets are hollowed from the cushion tissue forming semilunar valve.
semilunar valve formation
left atrium arises from…
the gradual incorporation of the pulmonary veins into its posterior wall
Umbilical vein
(1)-supplies oxygenated blood from placenta to fetus; drains into IVC.
Primitive atrium becomes…
Rough part of right atrium (pectinate muscles), both R & L auricles.

Primitive atrium becomes… | Rough part of right atrium (pectinate muscles), both R & L auricles. |
right atrium comes from… | the right horn and transverse portion of the sinus venosus |
Directs cardiac looping | Pitx2 |
endocardial cushions formed (3) | 1. Anterior (ventral)/posterior (dorsal) 2. Right/left (not shown) 3. Right/left conotruncal (swellings or ridges) |
Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) | Anomalies of the Interventricular septum |
Umbilical arteries | (2)-return deoxygenated blood from fetal internal iliac arteries to placenta. |
Primitive atria gives rise to | Trabeculated left and right atrium |
Fused Anterior and Posterior Endocardial Cushions (center), Right and Left Endocardial Cushions (sides) | Formation of Atrioventricular (mitral) Valves |
R & L sides each with own portion of pericardial cavity fuse into one tube surrouded by pericardial cavity in week 3 and 4! | Fusion of dorsal aortae |
AV & SL Valve abnormalities | Atresia (absence), Stenosis (narrowing) |
ductus arteriosus | pulmonary-to systemic shunt. Deoxygenated blood from the SVC is expelled into the pulmonary artery and ___ to lower body. |
Formation of the atrioventricular septum | 1. Anterior & posterior endocardial cushions bulge into the the AV canal growing toward each other until they fuse, dividing the lumen of the AV canal into right and left halves. |
What happens at birth. | infant takes a breath; decreased resistance in pulmonary vasculature causes an increase left atrial pressure vs. right atrial pressure; foramen ovale closes (now called fossa ovalis); increase in 02 leads to decrease, in prostaglandins, causing closure of ductus arteriosus. |
Boundary between Primative Atrium and & Sinus Venosus derivatives | Crista terminalis |
Trabeculated part of left ventricle (main part) comes from… | Primitive ventricle |
affects cilia development in the primitive node - forms left-sweeping cilia | FGF8 |
a foramen in the septum primum. | Foramen secundum |
Partitions the primitive atrium, formed on the left side and rather thin and flimsy. | Septum primum |
Bulbus cordis gives rise to | Right ventricle and smooth parts (outflow tract) of left and right ventricle |
Partitions the primitive atrium, formed on the right side. Thick and firm. | Septum secundum |
Separates the primitive atrium into right and left atrium. Involves 2 septa and 3 three foramena. | Interatrial septum |
Inferior edge of Aorticopulmonary Septum grows downward to meet the the membranous portion of the interventricular septum (IVS). | Closure of the IV Septum |
foramen ovale | Diverts most blood from the IVC and into the right atrium to the left atrium and out to the aorta. |
Ductus venosus | Conducts blood entering the fetus through the umbilical vein into the IVC to bypass hepatic circulation. |
Truncus arteriosus + Conus cordis (outflow, arterial) | Conotruncal region |
later in 3rd week after primary heart field formation has begun additional cardiogenic cells are recruited from viseral mesoderm medial to PHF. | Secondary Heart Field development |
foramen secundum | Perforations in septum primum, maintains right-to-left shunt as septum secundum begins to grow. |
