Test 2: Lecture 16 heart 2 Flashcards
how does foramen ovale close
increased pressure in left atrium from increased blood causes the thin septum primum to push against the thicker septum secundum and close the foramen ovale
ductus arteriosus closes ___
reflexively
ductus venous, umbilical vein and umbilical artery ___ to prevent blood loss
constrict
Fetal ductus arteriosus:
•Allows blood to bypass the lungs, which are not inflating or exchanging oxygen
•Blood goes from pulmonary artery through ductus to the aorta (R to L flow)
•Inflation of lungs and increase in the oxygen tension of blood causes smooth muscle in the ___ to constrict, closing the lumen
ductus arteriosus
What is the disorder if the smooth muscle ring is not complete and ductus arteriosus remains open ?
patent ductus arteriosus
Patent ductus arteriosus is bad because
pressure is much higher in aorta and will force blood from the aorta into the pulmonary artery- lungs get increased blood, body gets less blood
high velocity= turbulent = murmur
this is the opposite direction of blood flow in the fetus when blood went from pulmonary artery through the ductus arteriosus into the aorta to skip the lungs
What does a heart with PDA sound like
continuous heart murmur
blood constantly leaving the aorta into the pulmonary arteries which leads to overload of pulmonary capillaries→ pulmonary edema → heart failure
PDA circulation
•PDA→ Pulmonary artery → pulmonary capillaries → pulmonary veins → left atrium and ventricle → aorta
PDA leads to
pulmonary edema and heart failure
how to diagnosis PDA
hear murmur on auscultation
echocardiogram (transesophageal)
angiography
radiograph
How to treat PDA
surgical ligation around the PDA at open chest surgery
non invasive: devise occlusion of the PDA
pulmonary valve
•Valve that connects pulmonary artery and right ventricle:
semilunar valve
aortic valve
Valve that connects aorta and left ventricle
semilunar valve
when the opening of a valve is narrowed or formed incorrectly it leads to ___
valve stenosis
