tunica intima | layer of blood vessels that is made up of a single layer of squamous epithelium |
foramen ovale | structure in fetal circulation shunts blood directly from the right atrium to the left atrium |
ductus arteriosus | structure in fetal circulation connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery. |
ductus venosus | structure in fetal circulation shunts blood away from the immature liver |
