DEVELOPMENT OF THE HEART AND GREAT BLOOD VESSELS
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. explain the early development of the heart from splanchnic mesoderm ahead of the neural
plate which is then folded beneath the pharynx of the head fold.
2. outline the fusion of the endocardial tubes to form the simple linear heart with atrium, ventricle
and valvular flaps pumping blood into the aortic arches.
3. define the three circulatory arcs of the heart supplying the body tissues, the yolk sac (vitelline)
and the allantois and describe their functions
4. describe the role of the yolk sac splanchnopleure in early haematopoiesis
5. Understand the developmental process by which the aortic arches and truncus arteriosis are
adapted to give the aortic and pulmonary trunks and the carotids
6. Show how septum formation in the primitive linear heart allows separate pumping of blood into
the aorta and the pulmonary trunk
7. describe the congenital abnormalities of septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, and
persistent aortic arch

CARDIAC PRIMORDIUM
(SPLANCHNIC MESODERM)
The cardiac primordia are established in
the early gastrula as regions of splanchnic
mesoderm ahead of the embryo itself. As a
result of the head fold, this region ends up
beneath the pharynx.
The heart is a U-shaped tube at this stage and
the forming blood vessels are initially
unconnected
……and connects bilaterally with the dorsal aorta via the aortic arches

The sides of the U-tube then fuse to
produce the atrial and ventricle regions
with valvular flaps to prevent back flow so
that the heart can function as a simple
peristaltic pump.

The dorsal aorta form independently and
then grow to meet the ventral output from the
heart in the aortic arches
This pattern of mammalian development
is a good example of recapitulation

THIS STAGE RESEMBLES FISH
The diagram shows 6 aortic arches but, in mammals, 1 and
2 are regressing while the later arches are forming and
arches 5 never form
REMINDER:
The branchial arches and clefts and the juxtaposed pharyngeal
pouches are a recapitulation of the respiratory anatomy of fish

THE CIRCULATORY ARCS OF THE EMBRYONIC BLOOD SUPPLY
1.
BODY CIRCULATION
TRANSPORT OF O2 /FOOD MATERIALS TO TISSUES
TRANSPORT OF WASTE MATERIALS AWAY
2.
VITELLINE CIRCULATION
CARRIES MOBILISED FOOD MATERIALS FROM THE YOLK SAC
LOST FUNCTION IN MAMMALS BECAUSE SAC EMPTY
CARRIES FIRST BLOOD CELLS FROM YOLK SAC
SPLANCHNOPLEURE
3.
ALLANTOIC CIRCULATION
IN MAMMALS TAKES OVER THE FUNCTIONS OF THE
VITELLINE ARC IN BIRDS
SUPPLIES FOOD MATERIALS FROM MATERNAL
CIRCULATION
RETAINS AVIAN FUNCTION OF REMOVAL OF WASTE
AND GAS EXCHANGE
MESENCHYME IN
SPLANCHNOPLEURE
OF YOLK SAC
Haematopoiesis begins in the
splanchnopleure of the yolk sac
before transferring to the embryo
itself later in development

The simple tubular heart twists to prepare for septum formation and the creation of a fourchambered organ. The aortic arches are selectively modifed to give rise to the great arteries

2. RA - Right atrium, LA - Left atrium, RV - right ventricle,
LV - left ventricle, TA = truncus arteriosus
After birth venous return is from
vena cava (blue arrows) and
pulmonary veins (red arrows)
The separation between atria and between ventricles and between
atria and ventricles occurs by means of septum formation

Mouse, 10 days, frontal section
Blood from the atrium passes
to the ventricle by means of a
channel. The beginnings of
interatrial septum formation
can be seen (A)
Cushions form within the truncus
arteriosus and will fuse to form
the aortico-pulmonary septum
separating the aortic and
pulmonary flows

There is a split between deoxygenated
blood returning from the rostral end of
the foetus and oxygenated blood
returning from the placenta. This spit
is achieved by directed flow through
the foramen ovale
CHANGES IN THE CIRCULATION AT BIRTH
• Contraction of allantoic artery and veins to force placental blood
into main circulation. Rupture of umbilical cord
• Contraction of Ductus arteriosus and closure of Foramen ovale so that
right side blood is directed to lungs
