Foetal Circulation Anatomy
Image Description:
The illustration is the anatomy involved with foetal circulation.
The term foetal circulation encompasses the entire foetoplacental circulation, the umbilical cord, and the blood vessels within the placenta that carry foetal blood. The foetal circulatory system therefore is different to that after birth. The foetus is connected by the umbilical cord to the placenta. The foetus gets all needed nutrition and oxygen through the blood vessels via the umbilical cord. The foetus gets life support from the mother through the placenta. Waste products and carbon dioxide from the foetus are sent back through the umbilical cord and placenta ready to be removed via the mother.
