Q

How do heart septums form?

A

1) Muscular ventric septum (leaves interventric foramen)
2) AP septum forms mem inter-ventric septum, closes hole
3) Endocardial cushions do rest (AV mem, btwn atrial and part of btwn ventricles)

Q

How does the interatrial septum develop?

A

1) Septum 1* gets rid of foramen 1*
2) Holes in septum1* form foramen2*
3) Foramen2* is R->L shunt as septum2* grows but keeps opening (foramen ovale)
4) Foramen2* enlarges, takes over septum1, but little bit of it remains as valve of foramen ovale
5) Septum1
and 2* fuse to form atrial septum, and foramen ovale closes after birth
