What is the flap like opening in the interatrial septum of the fetus that shunts blood directly from the right atrium to the left atrium?

Fossa ovalis


What are function of SA nodes?

There is only one SA(sinoatrial) node. It is located by the right atrium of the heart. it initiates the nerve impulse which travels through both atria to initiate atrial contraction. Then the impulse travels to the AV(atrial ventricular) node. the nerve impulse travels through the intraventricular septum to the apex of the heart, where it initiates the contraction of the ventricles(starting from the apex and squeezing the blood up and out of the arteries).


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 most likely to happen to a baby born with a hole in the septum between the right and the left ventricles?

Such a condition used to be fatal years ago, but modern medicine is doing some amazing things to repair certain kinds of congenital heart defects, even in babies. Of course, not every heart defect can be cured, but great progress is being made in treating atrial septal and ventricular septal defects. I enclose a link to the National Institute of Health, which discusses such cases and what can be done for children born with this condition.

What is pto heart disease?

If you mean PFO, it is a defect in the septum (wall) between the two upper (atrial) chambers of the heart. The defect is an incomplete closure of the atrial septum. A PFO is present in everyone before birth but seals shut in about 80% of people. It is not a disease but an abnormality.


What is the wall of thick tissue called that separates the let and right side of the heart?

One separating the atrium and ventricle is called atrial septum and ventricular septum respectively.


What is the THE BIRTH DEFECT OF A hole in the heart between the upper chambers?

The upper chambers of the heart are called atria, and the wall that separates them is called the atrial septum. Thus a defect in that wall is called an atrial septal defect. They are not uncommon, and can run in families and be associated with genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome.


What is the thick wall of muscle between the left atrium and right atrium of the heart called?

The wall of muscle separating the right and left atria is the interatrial septum. The interventricular septum separates the right and left ventricles.


What does the atrial septum divide?

Septum means wall and the atrial septum is the dividing wall between the two atria, or upper chambers of the heart.

What the medical term for been born with a hole in her heart?

The term 'hole-in-the-heart' usually means that there is a defect in the wall between two of the heart's chambers. If the defect is between the atria the condition is called an atrial septal defect or ASD and if the hole between the ventricles is known as a ventricular septal defect or VSD.


What separates the left and right side of hearts?

The septum.
