Which of the following describes what might happen if the septum in the heart ruptured?
Answer
A. Blood entering the atria would leak into the ventricles.
B. Blood from outside the heart would leak into the heart.
C. Incoming and outgoing blood would mix, causing turbulence.
D. Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood would mix in the heart.
The correct answer is D. Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood would mix in the heart.
When that happens, an issue called Methemoglobinemia rises, which means that your blood carries less oxygen and often you can even die because of that.
