The placenta. Deoxygenated blood flows to the placenta where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added. Oxygen rich blood returns to the fetus. Blood is carried to and from the fetus by the umbilical cord.

What is the function of the flap of skin called the epiglottis between the trachea and the esophagus?

The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that closes over the trachea when we swallow to prevent food and liquids from entering the airway. Its main function is to direct food and liquids into the esophagus, which leads to the stomach, instead of the trachea, which leads to the lungs.


What is the function of pulmonary vain?

The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart so that it may be circulated all over the body. Anything "pulmonary" has to do with the lungs, like the pulmonary arteries bring de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs so that it may travel to the aveolis and become oxygenated.


What is syntemetic circulation from pulmunary circulation?

SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION:the oxygenated blood from left ventricle goes to the all organs(EXCEPT LUNGS) through left systemic artery and deoxygenated blood collected from organs enter right atrium. PULMONARY CIRCULATION: Impure blood from right atrium flows into right ventricle and goes to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. from the lungs oxygenated blood is collected into the left atrium through pulmonary veins

Yes, the diaphragm is an essential muscle involved in breathing in both mature pigs and pig fetuses. In a developing fetus, the diaphragm starts to form during early stages of development and continues to grow and strengthen throughout gestation to prepare for breathing after birth.


How does fetal circulation differ from the circulation pattern after birth?

In fetal circulation, the placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, so the lungs are not used for oxygen exchange - instead, a bypass called the ductus arteriosus shunts blood away from the lungs. After birth, the lungs take over oxygen exchange, the ductus arteriosus closes, and the foramen ovale between the atria closes, redirecting blood flow through the heart to support pulmonary circulation.


What is the function that carries blood to the lungs?

The blood is taken to the lungs to get oxygenated and then distribute O2 all over the body


How is the fetal circulation transformed instantaneously into the adult circulation with practically no transition?

The fetal circulation is based mainly on the veinous circulation during pregnancy. Once the uterine connections are lost, the adult circulation takes over.
