Splanchnic mesoderm
Cardiac jelly
Splanchnic mesoderm
Myocardium
Mesothelial cells arise from the
external surface of the septum
Epicardium transversum and spread over the
myocardium
ARTERIAL POLE AND VENOUS POLE
The conotruncal
portion of the
heart tube, shifts
gradually to a
more medial
position.
Sinus Venosus
Middle of the fourth
week - recieves venous
blood from the right and
left sinus horns.
Recieves blood from
three important veins:
Vitelline or
omphalomesentric vein
Umbilical vein
Common cardinal vein
Fifth week
obliteration of the right
umbilical vein and the
left vitelline vein.
Tenth week
obliteration of left
common cardinal vein.
All that remains of
the left sinus horn
is the
oblique vein of the
left atrium
coronary sinus
Right sinus horn and
veins enlarge greatly.
Sinus venosus is
incorporated into the
right atrium smooth-
walled part of the right
atrium
Sinuatrial orifice-
flanked on each side by
valvular fold- the right
and left venous valves
Septum spurium -
valves get fused
dorsocranially
Inferior portion of the
right venous valve
develops into two parts
Valve of the inferior
venacava
Valve of the coronary
sinus
Crista terminalis
Sulcus terminalis
End of the fourth week, the primordial atrium is
divided into right and left atria by the formation
and subsequent modification and fusion of two
septa:
Septum primum
Septum secundum
RIGHT ATRIUM LEFT ATRIUM
Original embryonic right Original embryonic left
atrium becomes the atrium becomes the
trabeculated right atrial trabeculated left atrial
appendage containing appendage
pectinate muscles
