Cardiac Embryology | Begin Basic | Begin Intermediate | Begin Advanced |
Most of cardiac development occurs between weeks 4 and 8 of embryonic development. Few developments occur after this time, with some exceptions such as valve remodelling. Abnormalities in cardiovascular development are responsible for approximately 20% of birth defects. Hence as the earliest and one of the most clinically significant systems to form, cardiac development represents an important area of both embryological and clinical studies.
This cardiac educational module has been designed to provide different levels based upon your existing knowledge.
- Basic - begin here if you are new to heart embryology (high school level)
- Intermediate - begin here if you have some background in heart embryology (university level)
- Advanced - begin here after you have completed the earlier levels with good background in heart embryology (university level)
Depending on your initial knowledge level determines your start level. Each level is then divided into a sequence of units/pages that roughly correspond to the sequence of heart development. The more detailed, the more pages; basic level only 3 units, intermediate has 7 units, and the advanced module has 9 units. Work through each level in sequence or jump to a more detailed level within each unit.
Each unit also has two sets of navigation panels, to help work through the cardiac embryology modules.
Top navigation panel
This panel allows you to easily move between pages within the same level, or jump to the beginning of a different level: green is the basic module, yellow the intermediate, and red the advanced. |
|
Bottom navigation panel
This panel allows you to easily move through the information sequentially as well as moving to the same content in a different level of complexity. |
Many of the concepts taught in embryology are best represented with animations or diagrams. The animations in this module are played using Adobe Flash Player. Most of the pictures appear on the unit pages as thumbnails. To see the images more clearly, simply click on the picture which will take you to the original sized version. To return to the module simply click the back button in your browser window.
