Q

atrial subdivision step 5

A
  • septum secundum grows to right side of septum primum, from roof to endocardial cushion
28
Q

atrial subdivision step 6

A
  • foramen ovale is the hole in the septum secundum
29
Q

septum secundum covers the

A
  • foramen secundum
30
Q

the openings in atrial subdivision

A
  • foramen ovale

- foramen secundum

31
Q

blood flow in fetal heart

A
  • right atrium
  • foramen ovale
  • foramen secundum
  • left atrium
32
Q

why is pressure different in fetal heart

A
  • due to pressure differences in atria

- prenatal shunt

33
Q

septum primum in early fetal heart

A
  • pushed to left and acts as an open valve of foramen ovale
34
Q

subdivision of ventricle requires

A
  • no hole is required in the septum
35
Q

subdivision of the ventricle process

A
  • interventricular septum grows from floor to endocardial cushion
  • closes interventricular foramen
36
Q

development of the atrioventricular valves

A
  • arise from the endocardial cushion
37
Q

role of truncus arteriosus

A
  • subdivides into aorta and pulmonary trunk/artery
38
Q

development of truncus arteriosus

A
  • forming longitudinal aorticopulmonary septum

- PLUS twisting to achieve final positions

39
Q

what does the fetus use for breathing

A
  • not its lungs. uses amniotic sac

- so they don’t need much blood to the lungs

40
Q

2 arteries in prenatal circulation

purpose

A
  • umbilical arteries

- blood from iliac artery to placenta

41
Q

vein in prenatal circulation

purpose

A
  • umbilical vein

- placenta -> inferior vena cava

42
Q

3 shunts in prenatal circulation

A
  • ductus venosus
  • oval foramen
  • ductus arteriosus
43
Q

purpose of ductus venosus

A
  • help umbilical vein bypass liver
44
Q

location of oval foramen

A
  • between heart atria
45
Q

purpose of oval foramen

A
  • bypass pulmonary circulation
46
Q

blood flow with oval foramen

A
  • blood flows right atrium -> left atrium
47
Q

location of ductus arteriosus

A
  • between pulmonary artery and aorta
48
Q

purpose of ductus arteriosus

A
  • bypass pulmonary circulation
49
Q

blood flow with ductus arteriosus

A
  • pulmonary artery -> aorta
50
Q

PO2 of umbilical vein

A
  • 30 mmHg
51
Q

O2 sat of umbilical vein

A
  • 80% O2 sat
52
Q

most inferior vena cava blood through oval foramen

A
  • oval foramen -> LA -> LV -> aorta -> upper body
53
Q

most superior vena cava blood through oval foramen

A
  • RA -> RV -> pulmonary artery
54
Q

most pulmonary artery blood through ductus arteriosus

A
  • goes to the lower body
55
Q

remnant name of umbilical vein

A
  • ligamentum teres
56
Q

remnant name of umbilical arteries

A
  • medial umbilical ligaments
57
Q

remnant name of ductus venosus

A
  • ligamentum venosum

Q

when does the ductus venous close

A
  • closes at birth

- permanent by 1 week

59
Q

remnant name of oval foramen

A
  • oval fossa
60
Q

when does the oval foramen close

A
  • closes at birth by septum primum valve
