Primary interventricular foramen

Primary interventricular foramen
Latin foramen interventriculare primarium
Code TE E5.11.1.3.2.0.14

In human embryology, the primary interventricular foramen is a temporary opening between the developing ventricles of the heart. The ventricles arise as a single cavity is divided by the developing interventricular septum. Before the septum closes completely, the remaining opening between the two ventricles is termed the interventricular foramen.[1]
