You will see them used in the lesson. Page 2: Fetal Circulation (Continued) FQ: What is the path of blood circulation through a fetus, and how does it change after birth? VR: What important information did you learn about from this video? Fill in the blanks below, replacing the "?" with the correct answer. Word Bank: abdomen, arteries, blood pressures, close, deoxygenated, diffuse, ductus arteriosus, ductus venosus, lungs, never, oxygenated, placenta, umbilical cord, veins, villi 1. The umbilical cord forms from the baby's ? when he's just a tiny embryo. 2. The umbilical cord contains one vein that sends baby's body, and two arteries that remove the ? ? blood into the blood. 3. The umbilical vein of the baby's cord passes into his inferior vena cava by way of a special vessel called the ? . 4.

Oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and wastes can ? through the villi tissues and transfer between the mother's blood and the blood vessels of the baby. 8. The mother's ? carry carbon dioxide and wastes away from the placenta. 9. The ? carries the nutrients and oxygen back to the baby. 10. Mother's blood and baby's blood ? mix in the placenta.

When the baby takes his first breath and his umbilical cord is cut, the ? in various sections of his vascular system. This change causes the ductus venosus and the ductus arteriosus to 12. The blood is redirected to the ? . ? to receive oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Sample Question: Which structure functions in a baby but not in a fetus? a. Lungs b. Heart c. Blood d. Nerves 2
