Where is the foramen ovale in the fetal heart?

In the lower part of the inter-atrial septum, lying close to the AV node.


What is the function of the forarm ovale?

In the fetus blood flow to the lungs doesnt occur in nearly as greater volume as fetuses are suspended in fluid and dont breathe. The foramen ovale acts to shunt (move) blood into the left atrium from the right atrium, as the blood in the RA doesnt need to go to the lungs and would be of much better use going into the LA and into systemic circulation... so the foramen ovale means blood can bypass the lungs, as they are not of use in the fetus. Due to pressure changes (when the lungs inflate) at birth the foramen ovale shuts and fibroses over.


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 structure serves as the lungs for a fetus?

The structure that allows blood to bypass a fetus inmmature liver is called ductus venosus.


Where does the foramen ovale allow blood flow to and from?

That is a 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 does the foramen ovale of a fetus become after birth?

It gets obliterated, and hence the atrio-ventricular shunt no more remains functional.


What is the foremen ovale and the ductus venosus?

The foramen ovale is a hole in the heart that allows blood to bypass the lungs in a developing fetus. The ductus venosus is a blood vessel that connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava, allowing oxygen-rich blood from the placenta to bypass the liver in a fetus.


What is the structure in the fetus that allows blood to bypass the lungs?

An valvular hole in the interatrial septum called the foramen ovale.


What is foreman ovale?

Foreman ovale, or "oval window," is a term used to describe a small, oval-shaped opening that separates the middle ear from the inner ear in the human skull. It is covered by a membrane and plays a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations from the middle ear to the fluid-filled inner ear.


What is the remnant of the foramen ovale?

The open gap which connects the left and right atria of the heart in a fetus. The fetus' pulmonary artery isn't used as it doesn't breathe in air and so when blood is pumped around it's heart it bypasses the pulmonary artery which would normally pump blood to the lungs.
