Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A The pressure in the right atrium decreases at birth. It is higher during fetal life.
B With the increase in the blood flow to the left atrium from the lungs, the pressure
is increased, and the foramen ovale is functionally closed.
C Blood flow increases to the left ventricle after birth.
D The hepatic blood flow changes, but that is not the reason for the closure of the
foramen ovale.

Answer to Question 2

Systemic lupus erythematosus
SLE
SLE varies in severity and is marked by remission and exacerbations. Although the
etiology is unknown, genetic, hormonal, environmental, and immune response factors are
likely to be responsible.
