Q

Where is the bulbus cordis located?

A

Above ventricle and below the truncus arteriosus

17
Q

What does the truncus arteriosus form?

A

Proximal portion of aorta and pulmonary trunk

18
Q

Which way does the heart rotate?

A

Counter clockwise

To the right

19
Q

What becomes the sinus venarum?

A

Right sinus horn

20
Q

What do the atrioventricular endocardial cushions do?

A

Form a column dividing the left atrium and ventricle from the right atrium and ventricle

21
Q

How is the interventricular septum created?

A

The interventricular septum grows upwards towards the endocardial cushion and the endocardial cushion grows down to form the interventricular septum

22
Q

What is the first step in atria separation?

A

The septum primum moves from the superior portion of the hear towards the endocardial cushions but does not touch leaving foramen primum

23
Q

What happens to the septum primum?

A

It completely closes off and apoptosis occurs forming the foramen secundum to allow blood to flow from the right to the left atrium

24
Q

How is the septum secundum formed?

A

Sinus venosus is pulled into the right atrium and bunches up against the foramen secundum forming the foramen ovale along with the septum primum

25
Q

What creates the valve of the foramen ovale?

A

Septum primum
