Through the mother's lungs into her bloodstream, then across the placenta and through the umbilical cord to the fetus.

Describe how oxygen gets from the air to the cells of the foetus?

Oxygen from the mother's blood diffuses across the placenta into the foetal blood. This oxygen is then carried by red blood cells to the cells of the foetus through the circulatory system. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs at the capillaries, allowing oxygen to reach the foetal cells for cellular respiration.


Where does a foetus obtain its oxygen from?

How does air oxygen enter the mother to feed foetus?

Through the umbilical cord from the placenta since a fetus can't use lungs to obtain oxygen. Read more in the link below about fetal circulation.


Can human being live in water without air... if not how the kid living in the mummy tummy?

The developing foetus gets everything it needs from the mother via the umbilical cord. That includes food and oxygen (which is dissolved in the mother's bloodstream). The umbilical cord performs a 'gas exchange' which removes waste gasses from the bloodstream of the foetus, and delivers fresh oxygen. The foetus doesn't need to breathe air to grow and survive. Once the baby is delivered, the placenta stops working, and the child take its first breath of air. From that moment, it's dependence on the mother's body stops.


Why are thedifferent gases in air important to life on earth?

Without different gases there will be no air, if there is air, how can oxygen travel?


Why does a foetus's lungs don't work properly?

The foetus in embedded in fluid called amniotic fluid. Some times the foetus takes a breath in that fluid, just before the delivery. The result is disastrous. If the foetus is born with the fluid in the lungs, it is going to die in most of the cases. The foetus is getting all the oxygen and the nutrition from the mother. This is supplied through the placenta. So the lungs of the foetus are at rest in the womb of the mother.


What does a fetus need?

A growing foetus needs the cord because it gives the food and oxygen from the mother into the babyThe cord feeds the baby and gives the baby oxygen.All foetus's need a cord !


How are nutrients and oxygen passed to the foetus and waste taken away?

Everything is supplied and filtered by the placenta.


How does the foetus get food and oxygen?

The fetus gets food and oxygen through the umbilical cord.

A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?

oxygen from the surrounding air, making it suitable for space travel where there is no atmosphere.


What travel in the air?

Well, any gas can travel in the air- but air itself is a mix of gasses. Mostly Nitrogen, some oxygen, and just a little Carbon Dioxide, Argon, Radon, Xenon, Neon- and gasses like that.
