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.
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.
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 side of a hurricane has the most severe weather?
The right side of a hurricane, specifically the right front quadrant, typically experiences the most severe weather. This area is characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and the potential for tornadoes. It is important to note that the exact location and intensity of severe weather within a hurricane can vary.
What does stenosis of the right foramen mean?
narrowing of the right opening through which the nerve passes
What is right neural foramen?
what is disc protrusion in the right neural foramen abutting right L5 nerve root
What is C3-4 a small unconvertebral joint osteophyte right side C5-6 moderate sized broad based posterior discosteophyte complex Slight stenosis of right neural foramen?
This sounds like someone reading an MRI report. It basically is arthritic changes with ageing
What is lumbar stenosis?
It is horrible. Your back never stops hurting and it causes your knees and ankles to hurt also. Answer Pain, numbness, weakness or tingling in the arms/hands and the legs may indicate cervical spinal stenosis. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis experience the same symptoms but limited to the lower back, legs, and feet.
What causes common neck pain?
Foramina stenosis, cervical osteoarthritis, stenosis with myelopathy and cervical degenerative disc disease are all common causes of neck pain. Any of these ailments could be responsible for causing the severe neck pain while turning one's head to the right.
Narrowing of the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle is called?
"Stenosis"
What is the defect needed in pink tetralogy of fallot?
A "Pink Tet" is simply an Acyanotic Tetralogy of Fallot. The same 4 cardiac anomalies are present as in Cyanotic ToF: 1) Pulmonary Stenosis, 2) VSD, 3) Overriding Aorta and 4) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy... but the pulmonary stenosis less severe. Milder pulmonary stenosis means that more blood is getting to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Also, because less stenosis equals less back pressure through the Right to Left shunt and less shunting of oxygen-poor blood into the peripheral circulation.
What does severe narrowing of the right c3-4 neural foramen mean?
The foramen is the portal in the vertebra where the spinal cord branches out into nerves that run to other parts of the body. Narrowing can constrict this nerve, which in turn can result in pain, numbness and in more extreme cases, loss of motor control -- it may also be asymptomatic. C3 is the third cervical vertabra -- that would be in your neck.
What is Pulmonary valve stenosis also called?
I guess you refer to the pulmonary valve stenosis which usually is due to the valve calcification when less blood supply will go from right ventricle of heart to the pulmonary circulation. The right ventricle will be hypertrophied because it's working harder then before.
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.
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.
