What are the 3 differences between a fetal heart and an adult heart and how do they function? |
Ductus venosus: Bypasses liver by way of umbilical vein to IVC. Foramen ovale: First of 2 lung bypasses. Opening in atrial septum that allows blood to pass from right atrium to left atrium. Ductus arteriosis: Second lung bypass. takes blood from pulmonary artery directly to aorta. |
|
The portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart. |
