What fetal shunt bypasses the lungs by directly connecting the right atrium and the left atrium?
In the fetal heart, the foramen ovale (or ostium secundum of Born) allows blood to enter the left atrium from the right atrium. It is one of two shunts, the other being the ductus arteriosus, that allows blood entering the right atrium to bypass the pulmonary circulation. Another similar adaptation in the fetus is the ductus venosus. In most individuals, the foramen ovale (pronounced /fɒˈreɪmən oʊˈvɑːli/) closes at birth. It later forms the fossa ovalis.
