How does the fetus obtain food and oxygen?
The mother's blood supply enters the foetus via the umbillical cord and allows oxygen to diffuse from the mother's blood into the foetus.
What nourishes the fetus?
Nutrients and other needed materials diffuse from the mother's blood through the placenta which connects the fetus the the uterus lining.
What is the structure that connects the circulation of the fetus and the mother but blocks the passage of blood cells?
The placenta
How does a human fetus breath?
The fetus is attached through the umbilical cord to the placenta, the site of exchange of nutrients and minerals between the mother and fetus. The placenta allows oxygen to diffuse from the mother's blood to the baby's blood and carbon dioxide and other wastes to go from the baby's blood to the mother's.
How does oxygen get from the air to cells of the fetus?
The mother is the "host" for the fetus until birth. All nutrition and growth support is done by virtue of the mother's umbilical cord. IT provides all oxygen and nutrition while connected.
Is there a blood test to determine sex in fetus?
You can't test the mother's blood to determine the sex of the fetus, and blood testing wouldn't terribly effective in determining sex even if you're testing the blood of the fetus because most red cells, which make up the majority of cells in blood, have no nuclei. Amniocentesis is, however, extremely effective for this purpose.
With a Rh plus mother and a Rh- fetus will either develop antibodies against Rh antigens?
no when Rh negative blood from the fetus interacts with Rh+ blood of the mother there will be no antibodies produced due to absence of antigen on the Rh- blood cells and when Rh positive is mixed with Rh negative blood of fetus no response is produced due to the fact that the fetus has an underdeveloped immune system

How is nutrients and oxygen transferred from a mother to her developing fetus?
Nutrients and oxygen are transferred from the mother to the developing fetus through the placenta, an organ that forms during pregnancy. The mother's blood supplies these essential substances, which diffuse across the placental barrier into the fetal circulation. This exchange occurs in the placenta's villi, where maternal blood vessels come in close contact with fetal blood vessels, allowing for efficient transfer. Additionally, waste products from the fetus are transported back to the mother's circulation for disposal.
What is the function of the placental?
it is the interface between the fetus and the mother's blood supply it acts like a filter - supplying nutrients to the fetus and disposing of waste material from the fetus to the mother all of this without actually mixing the blood of the fetus and the mother
Can a fetus survive when mother is a and fetus is b blood group?
