The natural blind spot (scotoma) is due to lack of receptors (rods or cones) where the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eye. It is where the optic nerve leaves the retina not enter it.
The optic disk or blind spot is where the optic nerve leaves the eye; you cannot use that field of vision because the optic nerve is there.

What is the Small hole that allows for blood to flow from the right atrium to the left atrium during embryonic development?
The small hole that allows for blood to flow from the right atrium to the left atrium during embryonic development is called the foramen ovale. It is a temporary opening in the septum between the two atria. After birth, when the lungs begin functioning, the foramen ovale typically closes, allowing blood to flow in the correct direction through the heart.
What is the function of the foramen ovale after birth?
There is more than one structure called the foramen ovale. In the skull the foramen ovale is one of the many foramina through the base of the cranium. It is through this foramen that the mandibular nervre (CN V3) and the accessory meningeal artery pass. There is another structure in the fetal heart called the foramen ovale. This structure is effectively a hole in the atrial septum that allows blood flow directly from the right to the left atrium, bypassing the right ventricle and the lungs. This is possible because the lungs are not in use in the fetal stage (as the fetus is in a liquid environment) and all the oxygen is coming from the placenta. The foramen ovale allows blood to bypass the lungs before birth.
What is the foramen ovale and what is its fate after birth?
That is very good question! You get the oxygenated blood from the placenta via umbilical vein in case of the fetus. This vein enters the liver of the fetus. The blood then goes to right atrium of the fetus. The lungs are closed in the fetus. So the blood goes to left atrium through foramen ovale to bypass the pulmonary circulation of the fetus. After the birth of the baby, baby takes the first breath. The lungs get inflated. Blood starts to flow via lungs. This closes the foramen ovale. The marking remains there on the wall between both the atria.
What is the jagular foramen?
The jugular foramen is a hole on the underside of the skull. This is the hole that the jugular vein goes through to reach your brain. In anatomy foramen means opening, so anything with the word foramen implies a hole of some sort. Example: Foramen ovale is a hole in the fetal heart, after birth (and our first heartbeats) There is flap that closes over the hole to prevent blood from mixing between the left and right atrium.
How will a hole in the septum or wall that separates the right and left sides of the heart effect a baby?
This is called a patent foramen ovale. Foramen ovale are present in all prenatal infants. Most often this closes on its own sometime shortly after birth. If not, it can result in poor oxygenation and requires surgical correction.
What passes through the foramen rotundum?
The main motor portion of the facial nerve
What is foreman ovale?
There is the hole between two atria in the fetus. That is called as foramen ovale. You have one foramen ovale at the base of the skull. Mandibular nerve passes through this foramen ovale.
What passes through the foramen ovale?
Sphenoid bone of the skull. It is the most interesting bone in the skull.
Where mental foramen belong to?
Foramen ovale is a window between the 2 auricle before birth
What are the openings in the fetal heart?
Foramen ovale ...i take a medical assistant course
What is foramen ovale?
Some times the foramen ovale does not get closed soon after the birth. This condition is called as patent foramen ovale.
What passes through the foramen magnum?
The mandibular nerve passes through foaramen ovale of the spenoid bone. Blood passes through the foamen ovale of the heart of the fetus.
What is patent foramen ovale?
Some times the foramen ovale does not get closed soon after the birth. This condition is called as patent foramen ovale.
What is connects the two atria in the fetal heart?
I think its the foramen ovale.
Where can one find more information about Foramen Ovale?
One can find more information about Foramen Ovale from the Mayo Clinic website. The Foramen Ovale is located within the fetal heart and it allows blood to enter and move through the left atrium after the right.
What is the natural way of promoting closure of the foramen ovale?
The natural way to promote closure of the foramen ovale is to breathe.
What does Foramen ovale bypass?
A Patent (Open) Foramen Ovale bypasses the lungs by short circuiting blood flow from the right atrium to the left atrium.
