Why doesnt the diaphragm function in the fetus?
There is no need for it to function. The diaphragm aids with breathing (expanding and contracting the thoracic cavity) but since the mother provides the fetus with oxygen through the placenta (which is connected to the umbilical cord) it doesn't need to "breathe", or expand and contract its lungs.
What is the function of the lung in the fetal pig?
It really has no function just as in any other fetus. Blood flow to the tissues there are at a normal rate just as to the feet and head. It isn't until the fetus is born that the lungs function as a gas exchange organ.
What system does the diaphragm belong in the fetal pig?
The diaphragm in a fetal pig attaches to the abdominal and thoracic cavity. It is used to help the pig breath.
To which system does the diaphragm belongs in a pig?
The diaphragm belongs to the respiratory system in a pig. The diaphragm performs its functions by expanding and contracting to regulate the air in the lungs.
What is the Function of the umbilical arteries of pig?

When the lungs do not function in a fetal pig what takes over their function?
The placenta. Deoxygenated blood flows to the placenta where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added. Oxygen rich blood returns to the fetus. Blood is carried to and from the fetus by the umbilical cord.
What is the function of umbilical vein in fetus after birth?
It nourishes the fetal pig.
Does the diaphragm function in a fetus?
Yes it does, only no air is supplied because it is in amniotic fluid. The lungs and the diaphragm function during fetal development in order to prepare for breathing air after birth. During the time in the uterus, the gas exchange is done by the mother through the umbilical cord and her lungs.
