What do the pulmonary and aortic semilunar valves form from?
Both form from the conotruncal swellings and
pulmonary-anterior swelling

Ventricular septal defects cause increased or decreased pressure in the left ventricle?
increased, this forces blood to the right side and results in 1.2-1.7 times more blood passing into the pulmonary trunk than aorta
What is the congenital cardiac malformation in which the outflow of the heart is through a single vessel rather than a pulmonary trunk and aorta?
persistent truncus arteriosus
blood from both ventricles mix and go to both the body and lungs
What causes truncus arteriosus?
failure of the conotruncal ridges to fuse
Describe Transposition of the great vessels.
it is a congenital condition
the R ventricle pumps blood into the aorta and the left ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk
What causes transposition of the great vessels?
failure of the conotruncal ridges to spiral

Tetralogy of Fallot
What 4 things does tetralogy of fallot consist of?
