Q

fetal circulation

step 1:

A

fetus gets O2, nutrients from + expels wastes to mothers blood

18
Q

fetal circulation

step 1: fetus gets O2, from nutrients from + expels wastes to mother’s blood

step 2:

A
  • exchange site in the placenta
    • blood supplies in close together, but do not mix
19
Q

fetal circulation

differences from adult circulation

  1. umbilicle vein…
  2. lungs + liver…
  3. umbilicle arteries…

​

A
  1. umbilicle vein (towards fetal heart)
  2. lungs + liver basically non-functional
  3. umbilicle arteries (away from fetal heart)
20
Q

name the 3 main parts of the body that is different between the adult circulation and the fetal circulation

A
  1. umbilicle vein (towards the fetal heart)
  2. lungs + liver basically non functional
  3. umbilicle arteries (away from fetal heart)
21
Q

fetal circulation: differences from adult circulation

umbilical vein (towards the fetal heart)

A
  • carries oxygenated blood from placenta to vena cava
22
Q

fetal circulation: differences from adult circulation

lungs + liver basically non functional

A
  • 3 shunts to bypass (although some blood flow to these organs for nourishment/growth
23
Q

fetal circulation: differences from adult circulation

lungs + liver basically non functional

i.

ii.

iii.

A

i. ductus venosus
ii. foramen ovale
iii. ductus arteriosus

24
Q

fetal circulation: differences from adult circulation

lungs + liver basically non functional

ductus venosus

  • connects _________ (oxy or deoxy?) to __________ (oxy or deoxy?) to _______ liver
A
  • connects umbilical vein (oxy blood) to inferior vena cava (deoxy blood) to bypass iver
    • permits most of the oxygenated blood coming from the placenta to bypass the liver
  • oxy and deoxy blood mixes
  • mixed blood enters fetal heart via inferior vena cava
25
Q

in the fetal circulation

mixed blood enters fetal heart via

A

inferior vena cava

26
Q

Fetal circulation: Differences from adult circulation:

foramen ovale

  • hole in where?
  • allows what?
A
  • hole in interatrial septum
  • allows blood to move from the right to left atrium (bypass lungs)
27
Q

what allows blood to move from the right to the left?

a) ductus venosus
b) foramen ovale
c) ductus arteriosus

A

foramen ovale

28
Q

Fetal circulation: Differences from adult circulation:

ductus arteriosus

  • connects what?
A

connects pulmonary trunk + aorta (bypass lungs)

29
Q

Fetal circulation: Differences from adult circulation:

umbilical arteries (away from fetal heart)

  • returns what
A

returns mixed blood to placenta

30
Q

what returns mixed blood to placenta?

a) umbilical veins
b) lungs and liver
c) umbilical arteries
d) ductus arteriosus

A

umbilical arteries
