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.
How is a baby nourished during gestation?
The placenta attaches to the child by three blood vessels that make up the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord has three blood vessels one for oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the baby and two arteries carry deoxygenated fetal blood from the baby back to the placenta.
How the structure of the placenta is related to its function?
The structure of the placenta is directly related to its function of facilitating nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and fetus. The placenta is composed of villi, which are finger-like projections that increase the surface area for exchange. The villi are surrounded by maternal blood sinuses, allowing for the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood to the fetal blood, and the removal of waste products from the fetal blood.
What is fetal respiration?
The exchange of gases between the blood of the mother and that of the fetus through the placenta. It may be one of three different types- anxaemic, acapnic, or anaesthetic.
Vein of the fetal pig that carries oxygenated blood?
There are two veins that carry oxygen they are the Pulmonary vein and the Umbilical vein:-)
What organ does the umbilical vein lead?

umbilical cord
What is the function of umbilical vein in fetus?

What carries blood to the forelegs in a fetal pig?
no
What is the function of umbilical vein in fetus after birth?

How does the fetal circulation work?
The blood goes from the mother to the placenta where gas exchange occurs to the fetus. From the placenta the blood goes into the arterium and to the body of the fetus.
What does the placenta do for a fetal pig?
It has the same purpose as all other placental pregnancies, it carries nutrients to the fetus from the mother.
Where does oxygenation of fetal blood occur?
Oxygenation occurs in the placenta. After this blood then returns to the fetus via the umbilical vein.
