chapter 35 fetal echocardiography Flashcards
bulbus cordis develops into the
right ventricle
the left atrium is formed by the incorporation of the
primitive pulmonary vein
4 pulmonary veins enter the ______ from the lungs
left atrium
the ____ horn of the sinus becomes the coronary sinus
left
the right horn of the sinus is incorporated into the wall of the _____
right atrium
division of the 4 chambers occurs during the _____ weeks of fetal development
4th and 5th weeks
endocardial cushions develop in the _______ region of the heart
atrioventricular
the _______ divide the atrioventricular canal into right and left
endocardial cushions
the _____ is an opening between the free edge of the septum secundum and the dorsal wall of the atrium
foramen ovale
the left ventricle is formed from the _____
primitive vein
allows communication from the right atrium to the left atrium:
foramen ovale
allows fetal circulation to bypass the lungs
ductus arteriosis
ductus arteriosis communicates from the ______ to the ______
pulmonary trunk to the descending aorta
allows fetal circulation to bypass the liver
ductus venosus
flow passes from the _______ through the ductus venosus to the _______ and then to the right atrium
umbilical vein—ductus venosus—–IVC—-right atrium
What causes the foramen ovale to close?
As lungs expand with air, the pulmonary blood flow increases and causes pressure in the left atrium to be higher than in the right atrium. Thus closing the foramen ovale.
As fetal lungs expand with air, there is a _____ in pulmonary resistance
fall
As fetal lungs expand with air, the pulmonary blood flow increases and causes the pulmonary artery wall to _____
thin
foramen ovale that does not close after birth
patent foramen ovale
ductus arteriosis usually constricts ______ after birth
24-48 hours
