aorta
tricuspid valve
between right atrium and right ventricle
bicuspid/mitral valve

systole
ventricles contract to pump blood out of the heart
diastole
ventricle relax so blood can fill them again
fossa ovalis
closed hole between atria in embryo
umbilical vein
passes through primitive liver and carries oxygenated blood to the IVC
ligamentum teres
umbilical vein regresses to form this
foramen ovale
hole that shunts blood from the right atrium to the left atrium to bypass the lungs
ductus arteriosus
shunts blood that made it to the left pulmonary artery to the aorta, closes after birth and becomes ligamentum arteriosum
