Match the following structures related to fetal circulation with their corresponding descriptions: Foramen ovale, Placenta, Ductus arteriosus, Umbilical artery, Umbilical vein, Ductus venosus, Umbilical cord.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match various structures related to fetal circulation with their corresponding descriptions. Each structure has a specific function or description that needs to be paired correctly.
Answer
1. Foramen ovale: Hole in atria septum 2. Placenta: Blood proximity 3. Ductus arteriosus: Diverts lung blood 4. Umbilical artery: Deoxygenated to placenta 5. Umbilical vein: Oxygenated to fetus 6. Ductus venosus: Divers liver blood 7. Umbilical cord: Links placenta and fetus.
Foramen ovale: Hole in the septum between the right and left fetal atria. Placenta: Brings maternal and fetal blood into close proximity. Ductus arteriosus: Diverts blood from the nonfunctional fetal lungs. Umbilical artery: Carries deoxygenated fetal blood to the placenta. Umbilical vein: Carries oxygenated blood to the fetus. Ductus venosus: Diverts blood from the nonfunctional fetal liver. Umbilical cord: Links the placenta and fetus.
Answer for screen readers
Foramen ovale: Hole in the septum between the right and left fetal atria. Placenta: Brings maternal and fetal blood into close proximity. Ductus arteriosus: Diverts blood from the nonfunctional fetal lungs. Umbilical artery: Carries deoxygenated fetal blood to the placenta. Umbilical vein: Carries oxygenated blood to the fetus. Ductus venosus: Diverts blood from the nonfunctional fetal liver. Umbilical cord: Links the placenta and fetus.
More Information
Fetal circulation involves unique pathways and shunts that bypass nonfunctional organs like the lungs and liver until birth.
Tips
Be sure to understand each structure's role and path to correctly match them with descriptions.
