Definition 12 of 85
oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from placenta carried to fetus via umbilical vein → half enters
Ductus venosus (allows blood to bypass the liver) →carried to inferior vena cava → RA → RV
→ Ductus arteriosus (conducts some blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta [bypassing
the lungs/fetal pulmonary circulation]) → aorta. Other half enters liver/portal vein → RA →
Foramen ovale (allows blood to bypass pulmonary circulation by entering the left atria directly
from the right atria since there is no gas exchange in fetal lung) → LA → LV → aorta.
