Q

Steps in atrial septation

A

Septum primum grows toward enodcardial cushions –> formamen primum closes –> formen secundum formed in septum primum –> septum secundum forms –> covers most of foramen secundum –> residual foramen is foramen ovale –> remaining portion of septum primum forms valve of foramen ovale –> spetum secundum and primum fuse to form atrial septum –> foramen ovale closes after birth

Q

Steps in ventricular septation

A
