Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Normally, with the newborn's first few respirations, the lungs expand as soon as the pressure within the chest alters. The foramen ovale closes, and the ductus arteriosus and ductus venosus shrivel and become fibrous ligaments. Congenital heart defects in a child occur when these events do not take place after birth.
