Beating and pumping blood

- The human heart is the first functional organ to develop. It begins beating and pumping blood around day 21 or 22, a mere three weeks after fertilization. This emphasizes the critical nature of the heart in distributing blood through the vessels and the vital exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and wastes both to and from the developing baby.

The critical early development of the heart is reflected by the prominent heart bulge that appears on the anterior surface of the embryo. The heart forms from an embryonic tissue called mesoderm around 18 to 19 days after fertilization.

Heart development, also known as cardiogenesis, refers to the prenatal development of the heart. This begins with the formation of two endocardial tubes which merge to form the tubular heart, also called the primitive heart tube. The heart is the first functional organ in vertebrate embryos.
Aug 14, 2023 · In the adult heart, four pulmonary veins feed into the left atrium. In the embryo, there is initially a single pulmonary vein next to the posterior left of the septum primum. With the lung buds' co-development, the pulmonary vein and its branches become a part of the left atrium.

3 days ago · In human embryos the heart begins to beat at about 22-23 days, with blood flow beginning in the 4th week. The heart is therefore one of the earliest differentiating and functioning organs. The heart begins very early in mesoderm within the trilaminar embryonic disc.

- Primitive Heart Tube. The development of the heart begins with the formation of the primitive heart tube following the folding of the embryo during the end of the third week.
- Atria. At the fourth week, the sinus venosus is responsible for the inflow of blood to the primitive heart, and empties into the primitive atrium. It receives venous blood from the right and left sinus horns.
- Aortic Arches. The early arterial system begins as a bilaterally symmetrical system of arched vessels, which then undergo extensive remodeling to create the major arteries that exit the heart.
- Septation of the Heart. Septation of the heart into right and left channels occurs first, when endocardial cushions developing in the atrioventricular region expand to divide the heart.
Aug 17, 2023 · Every part of the body depends on the heart’s ability to pump, every second of every minute of every day, starting before we are even born. In fact, the cardiovascular system is the first major system to function in the embryo.
