Describe the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus

A

Oxygen and nutrients diffuse into the fetal blood from the maternal blood

104
Q

How does the fetus get rid of wastes

A

Waste diffuses into the maternal blood from the fetal blood

105
Q

Has greater oxygen carrying capacity

A

Fetal blood

106
Q

Umbilical vein

A

Carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus- half enters liver

107

Foramen ovale

A

Conveys blood from right atrium to left atrium; lungs are bypassed

109
Q

Some blood from the superior vena cava enters

A

Right ventricle and pulmonary trunk. Most bypasses lungs and instead enters the ductus arteriosis.

110
Q

Ductus arteriosis

A

Conducts some blood from the pulmonary trunk to aorta; lungs are bypassed

111
Q

Blood from the abdominal aorta is branched into
