Best Answer

the ligamentum arteriosum develops from the ductus arteriosis in the fetus/embryo. the ductus arteriosis is a bypass mechanism where blood is not transported to the lungs as they are not yet functional. after birth lungs are necessary (nolonger a placenta for oxygen) so ductus arteriosum closes up and becomes the ligamentum arteriosum

It depends on your relationship with the person you want to ask to. If there is a close enough relation, you should just ask it, are you on your period? Period. If there is no close relation, there is no polite way. It's not your business. This is very private and only shared with loved ones and close friends.
