answersExplain the pathway for maternal- fetal exchange for fetal oxygenation (basic)
Limbs, kidneys, and descending aorta correct answersWhere is the least O2 blood in the fetus?
Umbilical vein and ductous venous correct answersWhere is the most O2 blood in the fetus?

Shunt that allows most O2 blood to fetal heart
ductus venosus, foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus correct answers3 important shunts in fetal circulation

Allows O2 blood to flow through the heart and directly to the brain
Ductus Arteriosus correct answersa blood vessel in a fetus that bypasses pulmonary circulation by
connecting the pulmonary artery directly to the ascending aorta
