Cardiovascular System - Fetal Shunts: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:35, 2 October 2012

Fetal circulation

Fetal circulation differs from the adult predominantly due to the presence of 3 vascular shunts located within the heart and in the vasculature.

Foramen ovale - in the heart, between the right and left atrium.
Ductus arteriosus - in the outflow tract, between the pulmonary artery and descending aorta.
Ductus venosus - in the liver circulation, between the umbilical vein and IVC.
