What were Two remnants of fetal structures are observable in the heart what they called heart?

Two remnants of fetal structures are observable in the heart:

1. Foramen Ovale: This is an oval-shaped opening between the right and left atria of the heart. In fetal circulation, the foramen ovale allows oxygenated blood from the mother's placenta to bypass the lungs and directly enter the systemic circulation. After birth, when the lungs begin to function, the foramen ovale typically closes. However, in some individuals, it may persist as a small opening, known as a patent foramen ovale (PFO).

2. Ductus Arteriosus: This is a small blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta. In fetal circulation, the ductus arteriosus allows some blood to bypass the lungs and flow directly into the systemic circulation. After birth, when the lungs expand and take over the function of oxygenating the blood, the ductus arteriosus usually closes. A persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect where this vessel fails to close after birth.
