Scilla [17]

The answer is pulmonary

valve. The pulmonary valve is found between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The valve is a semi-lunar valve that opens when the pressure in the right ventricle is higher than that in the pulmonary artery (because the ventricle is filled with blood). When the ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery, the pressure in the artery rises while that in the ventricle lowers. This closes the pulmonary valve preventing the backflow of blood into the right ventricle. Pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs for oxygenation.

A mother, 13 years of age, delivers a low-birth-weight neonate. The neonate is transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The excessive alcohol consumption of the mother.

Explanation:

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy harms the developing baby, the foetus. This is because alcohol passes from the mother's blood to the baby's blood and this affects the growth of the baby's cell.

This causes severe damage to the cells of the brain and the spinal cord.

FASD - Fetal Alcohol Spectrums Disorder is characterised by growth and developmental problems and it can range from mild to severe.

Example is the baby having small head, narrow eye and behavioural problems later in life.
