What is Fossa Ovalis ?
One of the most important and vital components of the heart is the fossa ovalis. It is located at the heart’s right atrial depression. The depression is leveled with the inter-atrial spectrum. The distance between the right and left atriums in the heart is known as the spectrum. The Foramen Ovale is covered by a thin fibrous film that remains in the Fossa Ovalis after the development of the fetus. The Foramen Ovale forms shortly after birth and remains open throughout fetal development. The depression is typically oval-shaped and plays a significant role in embryonic growth.

The heart is a muscular organ that circulates blood through the circulatory/vascular systems around the body. It assists in the distribution of oxygen to every region of the body. The heart is shaped like a quadrangular pyramid, with the anterior thoracic wall at its apex and the posterior thoracic wall at its base. It is split into two halves by a septum or partition. Four chambers are created by further dividing these sections. It is situated in the middle of the mediastinum and is surrounded by the pericardium, a two-layered sac filled with fluid. Electrical impulses generated by this muscle cause the heart to beat and pump blood throughout the body. The large blood vessels that branch out from the heart supply blood to the upper and lower limbs, thorax, and belly. The cardiovascular system of the body is made up of the heart and the circulatory system.
