Draw a schematic diagram of the fetal circulation indication the route of blood flow from the placenta, vice-versa.
A newborn was delivered through normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD). After the umbilical cord was cut, the number of arteries
and vein was checked. You are aware that umbilical vein carries
O oxygen and nutrients from the fetus to the placenta
O oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus
O metabolic wastes and carbon dioxide from the fetus to the placenta
O blood from the navel into the inferior vena cava
O metabolic wastes and carbon dioxide from the placenta to the fetus
