In normal fetal circulation the path of oxygenated blood returning from the placenta passes though several fetal shunts. One of these normal fetal pathways between the aorta and PA can be described as a: a- L>R shunt termed the PDA b- R>L shunt termed the PDA c- L>R shunt termed the foramen ovale d- R>L shunt termed the foramen ovale - the PA-AO shunt is the PDA and its right to left. When the left heart pressure begins to exceed the right heart pressure, that such a shunt wou...
