ATRIAL DEVELOPMENT

5 STEPS
PRIMARY SEPTUM (Septum Primum)
- grows ventrally from dorsal wall
- effaces the ventrally located PRIMARY FORAMEM (Ostium Primum)
- contains FENESTRATIONS
~~-- allows blood flow to continue

Fenestrations coalesce to form SECONDARY FORAMEN (Osteum Secundum)
- before Primary Septum reaches Endocardial Cushions and Primary Foremen is fully effaced

SECONDARY SEPTUM (Septum Secundum)
- grows ventrally from dorsal wall
- covers Secondary Foramen
- does not extend to Endocaridal Cushions

Dorsal portion of Primay Septum degenerates leaving ventral portion

FORAMEN OVALE
- is space between remaining flap of Primary Septum and its Secondary Foramen and the flap of the Secondary Septum
FUNCTION OF FORAMEN OVALE
Acts as a valve

Left Atrial pressure is lower than right because pulmonary circulation is restricted

Blood Flow:
- from Right Atrium
- through Foramen Ovale
- between Secondary and Primary Septums
- through Secondary Foramen
- into Left Atria

Foramen Ovale closes when:
- Pulomonary Circulation Opens
- Left Atrial pressure rises above Right Atrial pressure
FORMATION

AORTA AND PULMONARY TRUNKS

6 STEPS
Occurs via positioning of TRUNKUS ATRERIOSIS

Driven by Neural Crest Cells
- tf neural crest cells must migrate to heart

4 Swellings Develop
- RIGHT SUPERIOR TRUNCUS
- RIGHT DORSAL CONUS
- LEFT INFERIOUR TRUNKUS
- LEFT VENTRAL CONUS

Swellings are oriented at 90 deg to each other

Swellings grow so that the truncus meet the conus
- twisting occurs because of 90 deg orientation

AORTICOPULMONARY SEPTUM
- develops from the TWISTING of the swellings
TWO TWISTLESS TRAGEDIES
Aorta and Pulmonary Arteries may not seperate

Form two closed circulation systems
- Right Ventricle into systemic circulation
- Left Ventricle into pulmonary circulation
- Fatal Flaw
TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
Four abnormalities, occuring coincidentally, that results in insufficiently oxygenated blood pumped to the body

Ventricular Septal Defect
- opening between left and right ventricles
- generates other 3 defects
- usually results from Endocardial Cushion Defect

Displacement of Aorta over Ventricular Septal Defect
- aka Overiding Arota

causes

Narrowing of the Pulmonary Valve which results in

Thickening of Right Ventricle Wall

May have associated Patent Ductus Arteriosis

4% of Canine Heart Defects

6% of Feline Heart Defects

Most common heart defect in horses
SEQULAE OF HYPOXIA

4
Lethargy
- a few weeks after birth when pups become active

Tachycardia

Poor Growth

Increased PVC
- polycytemia
- thicker blood
VEINS

3 BIG ONES
Vitelline
- drains yolk sac

Umbilical
- blood from placenta
- oxygenated and nutrient rich

Cardinal Veins
- drain embryo
VEINS

DEVELOPMENT STORY
Vasculature is Dynamic
- fetal and neonatal period
- many anastomeses
- degenerations

As LIVER enlarges is starts ot incorporate VITELLINE veins proximally
- forms LIVER SINUSOIDS

UMBILICAL vein regresses Proximally
- distal portion may be incorporated into LIVER SINUSOIDS

Left UMBILICAL VEIN enlarges

PORTAL VEIN develops from
- RIGHT Vitelline vein via
- distal anastomosies of VITELLINE veins
- atrophy of of LEFT Vitelline vein
- regession of Proximal Umbilical Veins
- drains gut and spleen
~~-- via mesenteric and splenic veins

DUCTUS VENOUSUS
- forms from shift of blood from Right to Left
~~-- enlargement of left Umbilical Vein
- no need to dextoxify
~~-- embryo not eating
~~-- detoxification by dam
- blood from Unbilical vein
~~-- bypasses most liver tissue
~~-- joins portal vein
~~-- drains to Vena Cava
- closes 3 - 5 days after birth
~~-- forms teres hepatis ligament
PORTOSYSTEMIC SHUNT

TWO TYPES
INTRAHEPATIC
- Ductus Venosus does not close

EXTRAHEPATIC
- External Bypasses form around liver

Normal liver functions not utilized

Idiopathic
- Intrahepatic may be due to lack of Aryl Hydrocarbon receptors required for closure

Genetics
- Autosomal variable expressivity
- purebred dogs 0.18%
- mixed breeds 0.05%
- cats higher prevalence golden or copper coloured iris

Presentation
- low growth
~~-- dont utilize nutrients from gut in liver
- lethargic
- Toxicity Problems
~~-- seizures are diagnostic if within 6 months of birth
- Jaundice
INTRAHEPATIC ATRERIOVENOUS FISTULA
Abnormal communication between hepatic artery and hepatic or portal vein

Fistula forms between artery and vein
- opening with NO CAPILLARY BED
- Tends to affect lobes or portions of lobes
- may have smaller liver due to lack of hepatic nutrition

Presentation
- similar to Portosystemic Shunt
HEPATIC MICROVASCULAR DYSPLASIA
Abnormal communication between hepatic ARTERIOLES and Hepatic or Portal VENULES

Affects whole lobes

Normal external appearance
STATE THE

3 MAJOR CHANGES OF VASCULATURE
Ductus Arteriosus closes to become Ligamentum Arteriosum

Oval Foramen closes to become Fossa Ovalis

Ductus Venosus closes to become Ligment Teres Hepatis
- note also encorporates Umbilical Vein
NEURULATION
Notochord signals overlying Ectoderm
- creates patch of NEUROECTODERM

Neuroectoderm forms CNS
- NEURAL GROOVE froms in neuroectoderm
- NEURAL FOLDS develop from enlarging Neural Groove
- cranial formation is first sign of brain development

Ectcoderm grows over top of Neural Folds

Neuroectoderm seperates from overlying Ectoderm
- NEURAL CREST forms alongside dorsal lateral edges of Neural Folds
~~ produces NUERAL CREST CELLS

Neural Folds come together forming NEURAL TUBE
TWO FATES

OF

NEURAL CREST CELLS
Form Ganglionic cells and supporting structures of PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Become ECTOMESENCHYME
- migrated ventrally and Cranially
- surround pharynx and Proencephalon
- Impartanf for develoment of
~~ facial features
~~ facial skeleton
~~ facial Connective Tissue
~~ Aorticopulmonary Septum
NEURAL TUBE
Starts development in centre of embryo

Closure of Neural Folds proceeds in cranial and caudal directions from centre to from tube

HOLOPROSENCEPHALY
Failure of forebrain to divide and seperate

Results in Cyclopia

Cyclopathogenesis
- Diencephalon does not outpouch
- Mediated by defects in SHH (sonic hedge hodge) protein
~~ non utilization of cholesterol
~~ genetic chromosomal abnormality of SHH
~~ competition of plant toxins for cholesterol receptors
~~-- Jervine & Cyclopanine
~~--~~ Veratrum Californium aka Western False Hellebore

Normal Development
- cholesterol is important in signaling process for brain development
- Notochord induces cells to produce SHH
~~ directs development of forbrain and optic regions via mediation with cholesterol
- outpouching required for differentiation of telencephalon and diencephalon

Risk Period
- 14 Days Sheep, Goats and Cattle

Grieseofulvin
- only in Cats is linked to Cyclopia
HYDROCEPHALY
Alteration in Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) dynmaics results in enlargement of Ventricles

Usually caused by obstruction causing improper drainage
- obstruction tends to be associated with abnormality other than ventricles
Mechanism
- Choroid Plexi continuously produce CSF
- fluid build up applies pressure to grey and white matter
~~ white matter is more affected

Presentation
- Depressed because cognition is reduced
- Domed Head
- vision deficits via ventricular pressure on optic nerves
- paralysis
- seizure
- aka Dummie Foals
~~ may not have domed head

Common in Dogs and Cats

- exposure or improper encasement of Spinal Chord

Defect is usually caudally oriented
- severity increases cranially
SPINAL BIFIDA

TWO THERIES OF CAUSE
Overgrowth of Neural Tube Cells prevents fusion of neural tube

Neural Tube fuses then later splits

Net result is skeletal abnormality
SPINAL BIFIDA

THE THREE DEGRESS
OCCULATA (Hidden)

~~ ie SOMITOMERE

Somites produce 3 structures
- Dermatomes
~~ dorsal
~~ Dermis
- Myotome
~~ Muscle
- Sclerotome
~~ ventral
~~ migrates to fully enclose Notochord
~~ axial skeleton
~~ vertebral bodies
~~ caudal portion of one somite and cranial portion of adjacent somite form one veterbral body
~~ notchord becomes Nucleus Pulposis
-
MUSCLE
All skeletal muscle id derived from Myotome portion of Somites/Somitomeres

Myoblasts of Myotome fuse to form Multinucleate Muscle Cells

Dorsal portion of Myotome gives rise to Epaxial Muscles
- dorsal to Transverse Processes

Ventral portion of Myotomes give rise to Hypaxial muscles
- ie everything ventral to Transevers Processes

Muslsle Development requires
