explain the infant
02/C02 exchanged in the placenta, umbillical vein (rich in 02) comes through ductus venosa and inferior vena cava. ductus arteriosa bipass away from lungs

When they are born, the lungs start functioning, so placenta isn't needed any more. The umbillical artery closes up and the ductus arteriosa is overrun by smooth muscle. Blood is sent from lungs to left atrium, causing framinal valley to fold over.
Explain the conduction system
S-A valve or the pacemaker recieves impulses near the superior vena cava in the R Atrium, sends the to the A V node in the floor of the R Atrium. These impulses then go to the bundle of His in the muscular septa. The budle branches left and R and the charge is sent down the muscular septa to the Prkinje fibers. The charge jumps into the ventricular muscle at teh Purkinje fibers. Finally, the impulses innervate sympathetically at the cardiac sympathetic trunk (raising HR) and parasympathetically through the vagus nerves (slowing HR).
