Q

2nd wall of atrial septum formed

A

septum secundum

28
Q

muscular portion of atrial septum

A

septum secundum

29

upper portion of septum primum resorbs and the remaining bottom half turns into what

A

flap of foramen ovale!!!

30
Q

flap of foramen ovale covers what during fetal development

A

patent foramen ovale (PFO)

31
Q

patent foramen ovale (PFO) is there during fetal development, but then does what after birth

A

it normally closes on its own (problems arise when it doesn’t)

32
Q

directs oxygen-rich blood from the inferior vena cava toward the foramen ovale and away from the tricuspid valve during fetal development.

A

Eustachian Valve

33
Q

blood flows from _____ to -______ with the help of Eustachian valve and foramen ovale during fetal development

A

R to L atrium

34
Q

most common atrial septum issues deal with what

A

septum primum

35
Q

this atrial septum defect (ASD) is due to excessive resorption of septum primum

A

Secundum ASD

36
Q

this atrial septum defect deals with defect in fusion of septum primum w/ endocardial cushion

A

Primum ASD

37
Q

3 parts that make up complete AV canal defect

A

inlet VSD (ventricular septum defect)
common AV valve
primum ASD (atrial septum defect)

38
Q

complete AV canal defect is associated with what

A

Down Syndrome

39
Q

myocardial cells form what part of ventricular septum and stop short of endocardial cushion

A

muscular part

40
Q

tissue from bulbar ridges of bulbis cordis fuses w/ endocardial tissue and muscular part of ventricular septum forming what

A

membranous ventricular septum

41
Q

most common ventricular septal defect (VSD)

A

perimembranous

42
Q

Inlet or Canal-type ventricular septal defects (VSD) is associated with what

A

Down Syndrome

43
Q

when heart muscle stays spongy and never compacts into thinner layer of dense muscle

A

noncompaction

44
Q

develop from neural crest cells in BC and TA and fuse in midline and spiral

A

bulbar ridges

45
Q

which great artery is anterior and which one is posterior

A

Pulmonary- anterior
Aorta-posterior

46
Q

happens due to anterior malalignment of infundibular/conal septum (area just below pulmonary valve- outflow tract)

A

Tetralogy of Fallot w/ pulmonary valve stenosis

47
Q

Conotruncal defects (truncus arteriosus) involving outflow tracts & great arteries are commonly seen with
