The fetus is supplied with oxygen and nutrients through the placenta, which is connected to the mother's uterine wall. The mother's blood passes through the placenta, allowing oxygen and nutrients to pass from the mother's bloodstream to the fetus. Waste products from the fetus also pass through the placenta into the mother's bloodstream for elimination.
What else can I help you with?
why does oxygen affect food?
Oxygen can cause food to spoil by promoting the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast. This process is known as oxidation and can lead to undesirable changes in flavor, color, and texture of the food. Oxygen can also degrade essential nutrients in food over time.
Which oxygen is used to make food?
Plants use molecular oxygen (O2) from the air during the process of photosynthesis to make food. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) is converted into glucose (sugar) and oxygen gas (O2) is released as a byproduct.
What is more important for life oxygen or food?
oxygen is more important for life than the food becoz we can live without food for 2-3 days but without oxygen we can't live for few min.oxygen is essential for the oxidation of food.oxygen combines with food and burns itand the energy is released int the form of ATP,which stores in mitrochondria.It is also used in respiration nad in breathing.the which release from it helps us to do work.In human body,we also required oxygen for the digestion.so oxygen is a very important factor of our life....................
What do living things depend on for food and oxygen?
Living things depend on organic matter for food and oxygen from the air or water they inhabit. Plants undergo photosynthesis to produce oxygen as a byproduct, and animals obtain oxygen through respiration.
What do you call the release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen?
The release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. When there is oxygen present it is called aerobic respiration.
How does the foetus get food and oxygen?
The fetus gets food and oxygen through the umbilical cord.
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 !
Where does a foetus get its food from?
Obviously from the mother herself. The foetus will take the calcium, the minerals and everything that he needs to stay alive (It looks like an human on an intravenous therapy). That's why doctors will often recommend eating more food with calcium and iron to stay strong against the ''sorption'' of nutrients from the body of the woman.
How does the fetus obtain food and oxygen?
The mother's blood supply enters the foetus via the umbillical cord and allows oxygen to diffuse from the mother's blood into the foetus.
If the placenta were to detach from the mothers uterus early would the embryo stop receiving food and oxygen?
True
What 2 substances need To be supplied to muscles constantly during exercise?
Organs oxygen Food Water Energy
What substance can be passed from the mother to the foetus?
Carbon dioxide and other such waste gases diffuse from the foetus and across the placenta into the mother's blood. Urea (excretory product) also diffuses into the mother's blood. (The substances in bold will answer question).
What is the process which substances pass from the mother to the foetus?
The deoxygenated blood and the baby's waste products pass from the foetus to the mother. The mother can then dispose of these through her systems.
What organ carries food and oxygen from the mother to the foetus?
The placenta is the organ that carries food, oxygen, and other essential nutrients from the mother to the fetus through the umbilical cord. It also helps remove waste products from the fetus back to the mother's circulation for elimination.
What food is supplied in the ocean?
The food which is supplied in the ocean are known as sea foods
What blood vessel in fetus contain the most oxygen?
In the umbilical cord you have one vein and two arteries. This vein goes to the liver of foetus. This blood vessel contains most oxygen and food in case of foetus. After birth this vessel gets obliterated to form the falciform ligament.
How does the placenta acts as the lungs for the foetus?
the blood from the mother runs alongside the blood from the foetus ;the mother's blood carries food and oxygen to the baby .The oxygen reachs the lungs and carbon dioxide +waste exits through the umbilical cord . Although they run beside each other they never mix.
