What else can I help you with?
How is the circulations of a fetus different from the circulation of a baby?
in a fetus blood does not reach the lungs for purification. In a baby blood goes to the lungs for oxygenation.

What is pulmonary hypoplasia?
It is the underdevelopment of the lungs in a fetus
What is the last organs to develop in the fetus?
lungs
How is the circulation of a different from the circulation of a baby?
The fetus does not use its lungs to bring oxygen to the blood. (apex)
Do the lungs function during the fetal development?
no the lungs and the pumonary circuit do not operate in the fetus until birth
What is a contagious bacterial infection that affects the lungs and has inactive and active phases?
Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
In the fetus only a small amount of blood travels from the heart to the lungs and back Why is it not necessary to send all the blood to the lungs?
In the fetus, the majority of blood flows from the right atrium to the left atrium through a shunt called the foramen ovale, bypassing the lungs. This is because the lungs are not fully developed and do not participate in gas exchange until birth, so sending all the blood to the lungs would be inefficient. The body prioritizes sending oxygenated blood to vital organs instead.
Why is it unnecessary for all of the blood to enter the lungs in a fetus?
It has to get oxygen and get rid of CO2
What internal system is the last system to develop in the fetus?
digestive and respiratory
Are the lungs and the placenta the same?
No. The lungs allow you to breath, while the placenta connects a fetus to the mother and allows materials to be exchanged between them
Why the lungs are largely bypassed by the circulating blood in the fetus?
It doesnt, the echange surfaces of the lungs get their very own circulaiton in the pulmonary circulation. The nonexchange surfaces in the lungs (the bronchi etc) are supplied with oxgen and nutrients in the systemic circulation.
