The fetal circulation
@article{Kiserud2004TheFC, title={The fetal circulation}, author={T. Kiserud and G. Acharya}, journal={Prenatal Diagnosis}, year={2004}, volume={24} }
Accumulating data on the human fetal circulation shows the similarity to the experimental animal physiology, but with important differences. The human fetus seems to circulate less blood through the placenta, shunt less through the ductus venosus and foramen ovale, but direct more blood through the lungs than the fetal sheep. However, there are substantial individual variations and the pattern changes with gestational age. The normalised umbilical blood flow decreases with gestational age, and… CONTINUE READING
