Study Notes
Abnormal Valve Leaflets
- Abnormal valve leaflets are associated with a single atrioventricular orifice, impacting normal heart function and flow.
Septum Formation in the Truncus Arteriosus and Conus Cordis
- Right superior and left inferior truncus swellings emerge during the fifth week of fetal development.
- A sphincter mechanism located in the ductus venosus regulates umbilical blood flow entering the liver sinusoids.
- This sphincter closes during uterine contractions to prevent excessive venous return, mitigating the risk of heart overload.
- High resistance in pulmonary vessels during fetal life results in most blood bypassing the lungs through the ductus arteriosus into the descending aorta.
- Blood that flows through the descending aorta mixes with blood from the proximal aorta before traveling toward the placenta via two umbilical arteries.
- Oxygen saturation in umbilical arteries is around 58%, indicating lower oxygen levels compared to maternal blood.
