You are studying the mechanisms underlying human heart development, in the hope of uncovering  novel therapies aimed at re-building heart tissue in those that have suffered damage (e.g. cases of heart attack).  For this reason, you are working with a variety of different bio-engineered hearts. 

You are organising the heart mutant protypes in your research notebook:  Match the mutant with the phenotypes that directly arise from the mutation in combination with the normal phenotypes present because of the mutation.  More than one answer may apply.

CV.mut.2:

endocardial cushion defect

To check for remnants of the foramen ovale (termed fossa ovalis) in an adult heart dissection, where would be the best place to look?

This low magnification histological section shows two different blood vessel types for comparison. At this level, corresponding blood vessels can often be found in close proximity to one another.

What blood vessel type is labelled 'A'?

This is a high magnification histological section.

What type of blood vessel is labelled 'A'? What type of blood vessel is labelled 'B'?

This transverse histological image is an example of what type of blood vessel?

Match the description below with the options from the drop-down menus.

Atria & Auricles

The atria have out-pouches called auricles (= 'ears'). These are visible mostly from the anterior view of the heart. Internally, the auricles of the atria contain mostly pectinate muscle.

On this image above which labels indicate the right and left auricles of the atria? Select 2 options

Match the description with the correct term.
