There are several structures in the adult that are derived from the unique requirements of a fetus. The best know are the foramen ovale in the inter-atrial wall and the ligamentum arteriosus between the pulmonary artery and the aorta. These were involved in shunting blood around the lungs during gestation.
Other structures include the round ligament of the liver (which was the umbilical vessels that perfused the fetal side of the placenta) and the round ligament of the bladder (which was the umbilicus where urine was excreted through).
