Q

During partitioning of the AV canal, _________ cells near the AV junction revert to mesenchymal state

A

endothelial

26
Q

what causes the endocardium to bulge out into the Atrioventricular canal?

A

proliferation of mesenchymal cells (from the endothelium of the AV junction)

27
Q

what forms the atrioventricular septum?

A

Dorsal and ventral endocardial cushions develop and fuse together

28
Q

what does the atrioventricular septum divide?

A

divides the atrioventricular canal into right and left AV canals.

29
Q

Partitioning the primordial atrium involves forming two septa that will fuse together to form the ____________

A

interatrial septum

30
Q

which atrial septum is developed first? second?

A

Septum secundum

31
Q

the ___________ develops from the roof of the primordial atrium as a thin, moon-shaped membrane

A

septum primum

32
Q

what is the foramen primum?

A

The opening between the inferior edge of the septum & the endocardial cushions

33
Q

where are the foramen secundum formed?

A

holes form in center of septum primum through apoptosis

34
Q

what develops as a result of holes forming/uniting in the septum primum membrane?

A

foramen secundum

35
Q

the Septum secundum grows inferiorly and develops an opening, called the ____________

A

the foramen ovale

36
Q

Blood entering heart now passes from R to L atrium through which structures?

A

foramen ovale (in the septum secundum) and foramen secundum (in the septum primum)

37
Q

Before Birth: Blood Flows From Right to Left Atrium Through what?

A

38
Q

when does the foramen ovale close off?

A

at birth

39
Q

what is the postnatal remnant of the foramen ovale?

A

The foramen ovale closes off as a depression in the wall of the R atrium - the fossa ovalis

40
Q

The opening between R + L ventricles is the ______________

A

Interventricular foramen

41
Q

Endocardial cushions fuse with each other, forming a twisting ___________ _______

A

aorticopulmonary septum

42
Q

what does the Aorticopulmonary septum divide?

A

divides the outflow tract into:
