Answer:

Option). oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix due to the ductus arteriosus.

Explanation:

Fetal blood circulation is different from adults as in fetus, oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood get mixed due to the ductus arteriosus.

It is because the oxygenated blood from the placenta enters to the right atrium of embryo through caudal vena cava, while de-oxygenated blood that returns from the embryo head also enters to its right atrium through cranial vena cava.

The oxygenated blood from right atrium enters to the left atrium and then to the left ventricle, from where it gets pumped to the body. The de-oxygenated blood from right atrium is pumped to right ventricle and travels to the aorta through the ductus arteriosus, where it is mixed with oxygenated blood.

Thus, the correct answer is third option.

When does fetal erythrocyte production shift from the liver to the bone marrow?
vichka [17]

Answer: After seven months.

Explanation:

The blood carries various substances that must be transported from one part of the body to another. Red blood cells are an important component of the blood because their function is to carry oxygen to the body tissues and exchange it for carbon dioxide, which is carried and removed by the lungs.

Erythropoiesis is the process of red blood cell (erythrocyte) production. It is stimulated by a decrease in O2 in the circulation, detected by the kidneys, which then secretes the hormone erythropoietin. This hormone stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of red blood cell precursors, which triggers an increase in erythropoiesis in hematopoietic tissues and ultimately in the production of red blood cells. <u>In adults, red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow.</u>

In early developing fetuses, erythropoiesis occurs in the mesodermal cells of the yolk sac. In the third or fourth month, erythropoiesis moves to the liver. After seven months, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow.
