Hypoxic regulation of the fetal cerebral circulation.
Fetal cerebrovascular responses to acute hypoxia are fundamentally different from those observed in the adult cerebral circulation. The magnitude of hypoxic vasodilatation in the fetal brain increases with postnatal age although fetal cerebrovascular responses to acute hypoxia can be complicated by age-dependent depressions of blood pressure and ventilation. Acute hypoxia promotes adenosine rel...
متن کاملFetal and neonatal pulmonary circulation.
During fetal life, gas exchange is carried out in the placenta. The lung does not have a physiological role, apart from possible metabolic functions which include secretion of hormones, enzymatic conversion of inactive substances to functional hormones, and degradation of active materials to inactive metabolites. Blood flow through the lungs is quite low during fetal life; most of the systemic ...

متن کاملThe fetal circulation.
Accumulating data on the human fetal circulation shows the similarity to the experimental animal physiology, but with important differences. The human fetus seems to circulate less blood through the placenta, shunt less through the ductus venosus and foramen ovale, but direct more blood through the lungs than the fetal sheep. However, there are substantial individual variations and the pattern ...
متن کاملThe fetal circulation
different from the adult circulation. In the fetus, gas exchange does not occur in the lungs but in the placenta. The placenta must therefore receive deoxygenated blood from the fetal systemic organs and return its oxygen rich venous drainage to the fetal systemic arterial circulation. In addition, the fetal cardiovascular system is designed in such a way that the most highly oxygenated blood i...
