Their blue skin, a condition called cyanosis, comes from the Ventricular Septal defect. This is a whole in the wall of the left and right ventricles which allows deoxygenated, blue, blood to travel throughout the rest of the body.
The skin of a baby born with Tetralogy of Fallot has a blue tint.
The Tetralogy of Fallot is a heart condition where it usually involves four anatomical abnormalities of the heart, it is a common heart defect that causes cyanosis and the most common cause of blue baby syndrome.
Heart
Tetralogy of Fallot is called this because it is a congenital cardiac defect that consists of four cardiac defects. Fallot is the last name of the physician that named the condition. Tet means four. The four defects are right ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular septal defect, displaced aorta, and pulmanary valve stenosis.
Babies with ToF often go blue after being born because their heart rate accelerates making it more difficult for their heart to pump through the stenosis in pulmonary valve (valve to the lungs) and also because they have a large VSD (ventricular septal defect) (a whole between the bottom chambers of the heart) causing oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to mix. Deoxygenated blood has a bluish tinge!
The term "blue baby" is applied to a newborn born with a circulatory problem that results in a cyanotic blue coloration to the skin. This can be a sign that brain or organ damage may occur and is a life-threatening situation. Identified causes include -- congenital heart defects (tetralogy of fallot, persistent truncus arteriosis, vessel transposition, missing valve) -- constriction of the pulmonary arteries
because they fail by eatin too many blu brrys
The primary defect of the Tetralogy of Fallot heart is insufficient growth of the outlet of the right ventricle, the lower chamber of the right heart. Therefore the ventricular septum has a hole. These make the aorta displaced anteriorly. Finally, the right ventricular muscle is thickened as a result of longstanding obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. According to the narrowing of the right ventricular outflow, there is limitation of pulmonary blood flow, blood flow to the lung. Lower oxygenated blood that is sent to the lung is very limited so that the patient will be blue.
By having babies because blue whales are being extinckt so, by having babies there would be more of them By having babies because blue whales are being extinckt so, by having babies there would be more of them
cus they dont have enough oxygen
Babies that come from blue herons
Yes Blue Whales do have babies
