Can you imagine that the heart reaches a functional state even before its own development completes? When the heart is in the form of a tube, even then it is pulsating and it is beating and it is pumping blood. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The reason for that is that until the second week of the development, the embryo can receive the oxygenation and nutrition through diffusion and it can rid of the waste products in the same process. However, after the second week of development, [it] is big enough that the embryo cannot now just survive using the diffusion mechanism. So it does need some sort of a vascular system and it does need some sort of circulation and so [the] heart has to be developed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The heart must be &#8220;developed&#8221; before any of the other organ systems can develop.

And it does that because a layer of myocardium [heart muscle], which I&#8217;m showing here with purple Play-doh, develops on the outside or external to the cardiac jelly. [&#8230;] At this point, we&#8217;ve got a nice flow of blood already set up through the heart. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The embryonic veins, common cardinal veins, umbilical veins, vitellin veins, all bring blood to the heart [&#8230;] blood goes out through the left and right aortic arches to reach the left and right dorsal aortae which then fuse into a single dorsal aorta which supplies blood throughout the embryo and then back to the placenta.

[&#8230;] We need to have a circulatory system and the heart starts pumping at 22 days because we absolutely have to have it in order to get any larger.&#8221; Ward clearly states that actually blood is being pumped at just 22 days after fertilization.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dr. Regina Lantin-Hermosa, pediatric cardiologist and associate professor explains why understanding cardiogenesis is so important and how the embryo must have a functioning \u2764\ufe0f very early on to continue to grow into a fetus. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XZTtiv16Za\">https:\/\/t.co\/XZTtiv16Za<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jvJCxK43jv\">pic.twitter.com\/jvJCxK43jv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Becc ????

Cardiac development begins very early &#8230; at about 15 to 18 days post-conception.
