Question
Classify the three congenital heart defects—ventricular septal defect, coarctation of the aorta, and tetralogy of Fallot (Figure 19.18)— according to whether they produce (1) mixing of oxygenated and unoxygenated blood, (2) increased workload for the ventricles, or (3) both of these problems.

-Pulmonary
trunk
(a) Ventricular septal defect.
The superior part of the
interventricular septum fails
to form; thus, blood mixes
between the two ventricles.
(b) Transposition of the great
vessels. Aorta comes from right
ventricle; pulmonary trunk from
left. Results when the bulbus
cordis does not divide properly.
Unoxygenated blood passes
repeatedly around systemic circuit,
while oxygenated blood recycles
around the pulmonary circuit.
More blood is shunted from
