Cardiovascular features unique to the Fetus:

Fetal circulation is characterized by low systemic vascular resistance (SVR) with high systemic blood flow and high pulmonary vascular resistance with low pulmonary blood flow.

<h3>What is fetal circulation?</h3>

The embryonic circulatory system directs blood that needs oxygen through three shunts, or microscopic tunnels. These shunts are intended to avoid forming organs like the liver and lungs while the fetus is still in the womb.

The foramen ovale, which carries blood from the right atrium of the heart to the left atrium, and the ductus arteriosus, which takes blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta, are the two shunts that bypass the lungs.

Through the placenta, the mother's blood supplies the fetus with nutrition and oxygen. The enhanced blood divides into three branches as it travels via the umbilical cord to the liver.

What is the relationship (embryological, functional) between your lungs and the "gas bladder" of a perch?
DanielleElmas [232]

"Gas bladders" and lungs are similar organs, although they serve different functions.

Both of them develop from a location in the upper throat i.e. the pharynx and are used to manipulate gases. They both contain a good blood supply.

However, the lung is used for breathing and is often found in land vertebrates, while on the other hand, the gas or swim bladder is used in the regulation of buoyancy and the latter is found in all other bony fishes e.g. perch.

Perch use the swim bladder to control their buoyancy by filling it with oxygen from their gills using a gland, which is known as a gas gland. This expands the bladder, thereby pushing the fish toward the surface of the water.
