2 shunts for fetal circulation Correct Answers foramen ovale,
ductus arteriosus, and ductus venosus (Figure 37-1). Because the
lungs are a closed, fluid-filled organ, they need minimal blood
flow and the fetal circulation has high pulmonary vascular
resistance. Oxygenated blood bypasses the lungs by flowing
through the opening between the right and left atria called the
foramen ovale and then into the descending aorta. In the second
shunt, blood in the right ventricle does not flow into the high-
pressure pulmonary vasculature, but rather flows through the
ductus arteriosus into the descending aorta. Placental
prostaglandin, prostacyclin, and low oxygen tension keep the
ductus arteriosus open. 12 The third fetal shunt, the ductus
venosus, connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava,
which allows a portion of fetal blood to bypass the circulation
through the liver.

chromosomes) and more - this test done @ 15-20wks
- No risk of test itself, however because of false-positives it can
lead to more invasive tests (US, AC, &CVS)
