Function of atria septation → to
seperate the systemic
and pulmonary circulations
There are who embryonic muscular septa → septum
primum
and septum
secundum
The foramin primum is present during →
septum primum formation
The foramen primum closes during →
septum secundum growth
The foramen secundun are →
perforations
in the
septum primum
Separation of the systemic and pulmonary circulations is caused by →
atria septation
and the division of the
common atrioventricular canal
Common atrioventricular canal → opening between primitive
atria
and
ventricles
formation of atrioventricular septum →
Endocardial cushions
formed in the dorsal and ventral parts of the
atrioventricular canal
meet and fuse
Result of atrioventricular septum formation → right and left
atrioventricular
canals
