The tricuspid valve is located:
VSD
What is an opening within the septum that serperates the right and left ventricles?
Pulmonary atresia
What is described as the absence of the pulmonary valve, which in turn prohibits blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery and essentially to the lungs?
The mitral valve is positioned closer to the cardiac apex than the tricuspid valve
Which of the following is not a true statement about the normal fetal heart?
The normal pulmonary artery should be positioned anterior to the aorta and should be visualized crossing over it.
Which statement is true concerning fetal outflow tracts?
Pulmonary sequestration
A separate mass of nonfunctioning fetal lung tissue is referred to as:
pleaural effusion
The accumulation of fluid around the lungs is termed:
Left atrium
The blood returning from the lungs through the pulmonary veins enters into the:
Ectopic cordis
The condition in which the heart is located outside the chest wall is termed:
Two tubes

Foramen of bochdalek
The most common form of diaphragmatic hernia is the:
Triangular, echogenic mass within the chest
The most common sonographic appearance of pulmonary sequestration is a(n):
Coarctation of the aorta
The narrowing of the aortic arch is indicative of:
One third
The normal heart will fill approximately _______ of the fetal chest.
