5 Questions
What is the embryological defect associated with D-transposition?
Abnormal development, growth, and absorption of the distal infundibulum
What is the consequence of the abnormal spatial relationship of the great arteries in D-transposition?
Two circulations in parallel
What prevents fibrous continuity between the aortic and tricuspid valve rings in D-transposition?
The infundibulum being subaortic, right sided, and anterior
What is the role of the intercalated cushions in the embryological development of D-transposition?
Formation of semi lunar valves
What is the consequence of the failure of the spiral aortico-pulmonary septum to spiral or twist during its partitioning of the truncus arteriosus?
Aorta arises from right ventricle
Test your knowledge of congenital heart defects with this quiz on D-transposition, a condition where the aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle. This quiz covers the abnormal spatial relationship of the great arteries and the implications for circulatory function.
