Summary Introduction

To explain: Why a surgery is needed for a baby born with an unclosed hole between the right atria and left atria of heart.

Concept introduction:

In normal human heart, the atria are separated by a thin inter-atrium septum. In the fetal heart, the septum has a small pore called foramen ovale. Normally, the foramen ovale closes at birth, when lungs become functional. In some cases, foramen ovale does not close properly, it is called a patent foramen ovale; a birth defect that requires surgery to rectify.

Q4. THROUGH A PROPER DIAGRAMN, EXPLAIN ANATOMY OF THE HEART BLOOD, NERVE AND VENOUS SUPPLY?
19. The diagram below is a schematic representation of the circulatory system. In other words, it is not meant to be a realistic drawing of body parts, but only to show the basic scheme of the system – the relationships among its parts and the sequence of events that occur in the system. The circulation of blood is vital to the process of respiration, since the blood carries fresh oxygen to the cells of the body and returns carbon dioxide to the lungs to be expelled. As you have learned, arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Which blood vessels in the diagram are arteries? The arrows indicate the blood vessels 2 and 3 carry blood away from the heart, so they are arteries. Blood vessels 1 and 4, which return blood to the heart, are veins. Study the diagram below and then answer the questions that follow. Heart Body cells Lungs Key: Oxygen-rich blood Carbon dioxide-rich blood A. Refer to the diagram. Blood that is rich in oxygen is found in which two of the…
+ 2. Using Chapter 40 (especially Fig 40.4) of our textbook, compare the circulatory systems of the perch and the frog by completing the following table: Comparison of the circulatory systems of the frog and the perch Open or closed Single or double circuit perch frog Number of atria Number of ventricles 3. Compare and contrast (in other words, describe similarities and differences of) the circulatory systems of the perch and the frog, with reference to how each system supports the lifestyle (including activity level) of each animal:
