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 is the function of umbilical vein in fetus?
The function of the umbilical vein is to deliver oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. From the placenta, the umbilical vein courses through the liver via the ductus venosus (fetal shunt), connecting then to the inferior vena cava.
Does an umbilical artery carry oxygen?
No, Umbilical arteries take deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta, it is the umbilical vein carries the oxygenated blood from the placenta to the futus.
What carries oxygenated blood to the fetus?
it depends where about you mean; the pulmonary veins, coming from the lungs, firstly pass just-oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. after that the arteries (like the aorta) pass the highly oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the body parts. (this is most likely the answer you are looking for) when the organs have taken all the oxygen out of the blood and replaced it with deoxygenated blood. the deoxygenated blood moves back to the right side of the heart where it is pumped back to the lungs for reoxygenation!
What are 2 examples of when the rule that arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry de-oxygenated blood do not apply?
the pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood. the arteries that carry blood from the placenta to the fetus, carry oxygen-poor blood amd the vein that goes from the fetus to the placenta carries oxygen-rich blood.
Can vein carry oxygen rich blood?
The only vein that normally carries oxygen rich blood is the pulmonary vein which carries freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart for distribution to the body. Ordinary veins can have oxygen poor blood but don't carry oxygen rich blood.
What is gastation?

The aortaDuring pregnancy, what happens to the oxygenated blood returned from the placenta via the umbilical vein? A.It flows into the inferior vena cava.
Why is the fetal heart rate markedly faster than an adult heart rate?
fetus is very small, the heart is very small so to pump enough oxygenated blood thru the developing fetus it must pump much faster than than an adult heart
What does not serve as a site for blood cell production in the developing fetus?
