The fetal lungs are not involved in gas exchange; instead, there are three fetal shunts that redirect the blood to ensure the highest oxygenated blood reaches the heart and brain while redirecting blood away from the nonfunctional fetal lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_Takeaway\"><\/span>Main Takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fetal circulation involves delivering oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus and transporting waste products from the fetus to the placenta so that they are eventually eliminated by the mother\u2019s body. Fetal circulation has unique features because the fetal lungs are not involved in gas exchange. There are three fetal shunts, which redirect the blood to ensure blood with the highest concentration of oxygen reaches the heart and brain while redirecting blood away from the nonfunctional fetal lungs. First, the umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta, which takes on the role of exchanging oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and wastes. Oxygenated blood first flows through the umbilical vein and to the fetal liver, and there, the circulation divides as it meets the first fetal shunt called the ductus venosus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, most of the blood passes through the ductus venosus and flows directly into the inferior vena cava. Meanwhile, the remaining blood perfuses the liver and then meets up with the rest of the blood in the inferior vena cava. Together, this blood flows into the right atrium of the fetal heart. In the fetal heart, the pressure on the right side is higher than on the left side of the heart. This is because the fetal lungs are filled with fluid, and the arteries are tightly constricted, so the pressure in the fetal lungs is high, leading to increased pressure on the right side of the heart. This pressure difference allows most of the oxygenated blood in the right atrium to pass through the second shunt, called the foramen ovale, an opening between the two atria. This shunt allows most of the blood to bypass the lungs and flow directly into the left atrium. The blood then flows into the left ventricle, which pumps it through the aorta to supply oxygenated blood to perfuse the brain, the heart, and the rest of the fetus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk. Since the lungs are collapsed, only a small portion of oxygenated blood enters the lungs. The remaining blood flows through the third shunt, called the ductus arteriosus, into the descending aorta and eventually to the umbilical arteries that lead to the placenta. After birth, when the baby takes its first breath, the lungs expand, and pulmonary blood flow increases. This makes pulmonary vessels expand and decreases pulmonary pressure, resulting in decreased pressure on the right side of the heart. The change in pressures causes the foramen ovale to close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the baby continues to breathe, arterial oxygen levels increase, causing the ductus arteriosus to constrict. When the umbilical cord is cut, the placental circulation is separated from the fetal circulation, causing the ductus venosus to constrict. The closing of the three shunts is gradual and may take up to 48 hours to fully close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"815\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/image_54490a.png\" alt=\"FETAL CIRCULATION\nIllustration of Fetus:\n* Lungs are not involved in gas exchange\n* Delivery of oxygen and nutrients from the placenta\n* Waste products eliminated by pregnant person's body\n\nThree Fetal Shunts\nRedirect the blood\n* Ensure highest oxygenated blood reaches the heart and brain\n* Redirecting blood away from the nonfunctional fetal lungs\n\" class=\"wp-image-5984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/image_54490a.png 815w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/image_54490a.png?resize=300,162 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/image_54490a.png?resize=768,416 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_Answer_Explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect Answer Explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A. \u201cThe fetus receives oxygen and nutrients directly from the maternal blood supply.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong> This statement indicates additional teaching is needed.
