What was the fossa ovalis called in the fetal heart?
In the fetal hear the fossa ovalis was known as the foramen ovale, which allows blood to pass from the right to the left atrium, thus bypassing the fetal lungs.
What does the medical term Doppler mean when pertaining to the fetal heart?
In the context of the fetal heart, Doppler refers to a technique used in ultrasound to assess blood flow in the umbilical cord and fetal vessels. It helps monitor the well-being of the fetus by examining the velocity and direction of blood flow.
Why is it important for the fetal pig heart to have both a ductus anteriosus and the foramen ovale but not good for the adult heart to have these features?
The ductus arteriosus allows blood to bypass the lungs in fetal pigs since they do not breathe air in the womb. The foramen ovale allows blood to bypass the lungs by going directly from the right atrium to the left atrium. In adults, these structures are no longer necessary as the lungs are functioning, and blood must flow through the entire heart for proper oxygenation.

What are some signs of fetal distress?
There are many signs of fetal distress such as cramping, umbilical cord issues, gaining weight, fetal movements, high blood pressure, and fetal heart rate.
Fetal blood that passes through the ductus venosus is relatively High in oxygen and nutrients?
The ductus venosus shunts most of the left umbilical vein blood flow directly to the inferior vena cava. This allows relatively highly oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver and get to the fetal brain.
What is a description of fetal hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
In which the blood flow through the left side of the heart is obstructed.
What structure in the heart separate oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood?
The structure in the heart that separates oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood is the atria. These are the two sides of the heart and are separated by the interatrial septum.
The failure of two of the fetal bypass structure to become obliterated after birth can cause congenital heart disease in which the youngster would have improperly oxygenated blood which are the two?
Ductos Arteriosus and Foramen ovale
What blood vessels run on either side of the urinary bladder in the fetal pig?
The umbilical artery runs on either side of the urinary bladder of a fetal pig. It carries the blood from the heart to the fetus.
What blood vessels run in either side of the urinary bladder in the fetal pig?
The umbilical artery runs on either side of the urinary bladder of a fetal pig. It carries the blood from the heart to the fetus.
How does the ductus arteriosus affect the path of blood through the fetal heart?
It is an alternate way for the blood to flow during fetus development. The alternate blood flow before birth is necessary because the fetal lungs are not yet functioning.
