Formen ovale Ductus arteriosus Ductus venosus what will these shunts become in a newborn?
The foramen ovale closes, becoming part of the interatrial septum. The Ductus arteriosus becomes the ligamentum arteriosum and the ductus venosus becomes the ligamentum venosum.
What is the most fetal blood in the umbilical vein enters the inferior vena cava through?
ductus venosus
What do each of the 3 fetal bypasses actually bypass?
The Ductus arteriosis allows the oxygenated blood to bypass the non-functioning lungs by going straight from the right ventricle to the aortic arch, instead of going through the pulmonary artery. The Ductus Venosus allows half of the blood from the umbilical vein to be shunted to the inferior vena cava to bypass the babies liver. And the Foramen ovale lets blood go straight from the right atrium to the left atrium, the Ductus Arteriosis is a back up for when blood gets left behind. The foramen ovale closes over at birth to form the fossa ovalis.
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 do the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus do?
That is a very good question! In case of the fetus, the blood flow through the lungs is closed. So most of the blood passes through the foramen ovale to left atrium. Some blood goes to right ventricle. it is pumped by the right ventricle into pulmonary aorta. This blood passes to systemic aorta via ductus arteriosus. Both the blood flows stops after the birth of the baby. Baby takes a first breath. Blood starts to flow through the lungs. Due to pressure changes the foramen ovale get closed. By the same reason the ductus arteriosus get closed, as the circular muscles of the artery can contract.

What structure serves as the lungs for a fetus?
The structure that allows blood to bypass a fetus inmmature liver is called ductus venosus.
6 structures needed for fetal circulation?
Umbilical Arteries Placenta Umbilical Vein Ductus Venosus Foramen Ovale Ductus Arteriosus
What is the vessel that bypasses the liver?
The ductus venosus.
What would happen to the child if the umbilical umbilical vein ductus venosus ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale did not close?
foramen ovale is present in between the left and right arteries.so if that is not closed then the deoxygenated and oxygenated blood from the left and right arteries respectively will get mixed causing complications in respiration.soetimes this occurs in children known as blue baby syndrome.
What is the function of the ductus venosus?
In the fetus, the ductus venosus shunts a significant majority (80%) of the blood flow of the umbilical vein directly to the inferior vena cava. Thus, it allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver. In conjunction with the other fetal shunts, the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus, it plays a critical role in preferentially shunting oxygenated blood to the fetal brain.Source(s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductus_veno…

What are the three shunt present in the fetal heart but not in adult heart?
The ductus arteriosus, formen ovale and ductus veinosus.
What does the ductus venosus do in fetal circulation?
During gestation the ductus venosus shunts most of the blood from the umbilical vein directly into the inferior vena cava. Shortly after birth the ductus venosus closes to allow normal circulation. It usually closes completely within the first week after birth, but can take longer in pre-term infants. After it is closes a small remnant remains and is called the ligamentum venosum.
What fetal shunt bypasses the lungs by directly connecting the right atrium and the left atrium?
In the fetal heart, the foramen ovale (or ostium secundum of Born) allows blood to enter the left atrium from the right atrium. It is one of two shunts, the other being the ductus arteriosus, that allows blood entering the right atrium to bypass the pulmonary circulation. Another similar adaptation in the fetus is the ductus venosus. In most individuals, the foramen ovale (pronounced /fɒˈreɪmən oʊˈvɑːli/) closes at birth. It later forms the fossa ovalis.
