Structural features of the valvular apparatus of the human heart in early embryogenesis

Abstract

The article presents the data on the structural features of the development of atrioventricular valves (tendon chords, papillary muscles) in early embryogenesis and shows the development of fleshy trabeculae as structures from which papillary muscles are formed. The stages of development of these structures are described. It has been found that fleshy trabeculae in the form of a reticular plexus are the first to be visualized the first in the ventricles of the heart of embryos of 6 mm parietal-coccygeal length (TCD), and some of them, protruding into the ventricular cavity, form papillary muscles. As the size of the human embryo heart increases, the leaflets of atrioventricular valves and papillary muscles move away from each other and strands with a muscular component appear between them – future tendon chords (in embryos 18–19 mm TCD). Gradually, the muscle tissue in the tendon chords and atrioventricular valves is replaced by connective tissue and intraventricular formations approach the definitive structure (in embryos 65–70 TCD).
