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)
Why is it not necessary for large quantities of blood to enter the pulmonary system of a fetus?
The pulmonary circuit is to exchange respiratory gases between the blood and inhaled air. As a fetus is not yet breathing on its own but receives its oxygen from the mother through the umbilical vein it surpasses the normal function of the pulmonary circuit and is not necessary.
Does blood enter the blood from the lungs?
no, it doesn't, but oxygen does.
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.
What does not serve as a site for blood cell production in the developing fetus?
The liver and spleen serve as sites for blood cell production in a developing fetus, but the lungs do not.
Does oxygen enter the blood stream in the lungs or in the heart?
The lungs, I the alviolies.
What is the place where oxygen enter the blood?
lungs
What organ serves as a respiratory organ for the fetus?
The lungs of the mother breath in the air. The lungs put the oxygen in the red blood cells. The blood flows through the walls of the uterus and through the umbilical cord into the blood stream of the fetus. The venus blood supply returns through a vein in the cord back into the mother and the lungs and the cycle repeats until the cord is cut.
Why does blood have to enter the lungs?
To make the lungs work and if our lungs didn't work then we couldn't breathe.
Does blood enter the lungs via the pulmonary artery?
Yes, the blood enters the lungs via pulmunery artery
