Chapter 10, Problem 33CT
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mode of transfer of oxygen across the placenta from a mother to fetus with the help of fetal hemoglobin (HbF).
Introduction:
Blood formation starts early in the fetus by the 28th day of fetal life. The embryonic blood cells start circulating in the blood vessels. The blood of the fetus possesses a different type of hemoglobin known as fetal hemoglobin or hemoglobin F or HbF.
