Q

course of blood through fetal heart

A

Q

circulatory changes at birth

A

initial inflation of lungs reduces resistance of pulmonary bloodflow, which increases pulmonary bloodflow and therefore bloodflow into RA/RV. There is also decreased bloodflow across foramen ovale as well as increased LA pressure and decreased RA pressure, causing foramen ovale to close
