Cardio FA Flashcards
Truncus arteriosus
Ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
Bulbus cordis
Smooth parts (outflow tract) of L and R ventricles
Endocardial cushion
Atrial septum, membranous IV septum; AV and semilunar valves
Primitive atrium
Trabeculated part of L and R atria
Primitive ventricle
Trabeculated part of L and R ventricles
Primitive pulmonary vein
Smooth part of LA
Left horn of sinus venosus
Coronary sinus
Right horn of sinus venosus
Smooth part of right atrium
Right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein
SVC
Week that heart beats on its own

What are paradoxical emboli?
Venous thromboemboli that enter systemic arterial circulation (L–>R shunt)
What forms the membranous IV septum?
Aorticopulmonary septum
Conotruncal abnormalities associated with failure of neural crest cells to migrate?
Transposition of the great vessels, Tetralogy of Fallot, persistent truncus arteriosus
Oxygen content of fetal circulation?
Veins are going towards the heart and are oxygenated via the placenta. Arteries are going away from the heart and are deoxygenated.
Ductus venosus?
Takes fetal oxygenated blood from the placenta to the IVC, bypassing the hepatic circulation
Foramen ovale?
Blood goes from RA to LA bypassing the lungs
