Connecting Duct

The connecting duct is one of the most important elements of human anatomy. It connects the left and right halves of the heart and plays an important role in blood circulation.

The connecting duct is about 2-3 cm long and is located on the posterior wall of the heart. It starts from the opening of the aorta and ends in the right atrium. The connecting duct is surrounded by a dense connective tissue membrane, which protects it from damage.

The main function of the connecting duct is to ensure a continuous flow of blood between the left and right atria. When the heart contracts, blood from the left atrium enters the connecting duct, where it mixes with blood from the right atrium. The mixed blood then enters the left ventricle, from where it is released into the aorta and distributed throughout the body.

However, if the connecting duct is damaged or blocked, it can lead to serious heart conditions such as heart failure or arrhythmia. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the condition of this duct and, if necessary, treat it.

The connecting duct, or connecting duct, is a narrow channel between paired bronchi in newborns, through which air can pass from one bronchus to another. It is a vital anatomical element that allows breathing and helps protect the lungs from infections. However, some children may experience delays in the development of connective tissue at an early age.
