Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The foramen ovale is a hole in the interatrial septum of the fetal heart that allows oxygenated blood to bypass the non-functional lungs. It eventually seals up after birth to become the fossa ovalis. Both structures are located in the same region and have a close structural relationship.
