Q

What cause the “S” shaped lopping of the heart?

Q

How is the atrioventricular canal formed?

A

Two endocardial cushions grow and fuse to form the AV septum. This divides the canal into right AV (tricuspid) and left AV (bicuspid) canals.

18
Q

What membrane grows down from the atrium and covers (but does not seal) the ostium secundum, leaving an opening which is a valve-like path for the blood from the right to the left atrium?

A

Septum secundum

19
Q

After birth, the septum secundum closes, leaving behind the ___.

A

Fossa ovalis

Q

The ___ becomes divided into two halves by interventricualr septum which is formed of two parts.

A

Primitive ventricle

21

A

Aorticopulmonary septum
