Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fetal blood flow to the placenta is supplied via paired umbilical arteries A single umbilical vein drains from the placenta to the ductus venosus Collects blood from umbilical vein and liver Empties into the inferior vena cava Placental Supply

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cardiovascular Changes at Birth Lungs and pulmonary vessels expand Ductus arteriosus constricts and becomes ligamentum arteriosum A valvular flap closes the foramen ovale

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Age-related changes in blood may include Decreased hematocrit Constriction or blockage of peripheral veins by a thrombus Pooling of blood in the veins of the legs Vessels are less elastic, prone to Ca 2+ deposits and thrombi formation The aging heart has reduced output, decreased activity, and scarring
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings You should now be familiar with: The types of blood vessels Fluid and dissolved material transport into and out of the cardiovascular system The factors that influence blood pressure and blood pressure regulation The mechanisms involved in the movement of fluids between capillaries and interstitial spaces
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings You should now be familiar with: How blood flow and pressure in tissues is regulated The principle blood vessels of each circuit and the areas they serve Fetal circulation patterns and the changes that occur in these patterns at birth and during aging
