lood shunts present in the fetus.
Biology

Jlenok [28]3 years ago

Explanation:

  • One of the main differences between adult and fetal circulation is <em>the direction and where the non-oxygenated and oxygenated blood circulates</em>. In adults arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and veins carry non-oxygenated blood towards the heart; in fetuses, arteries carry non-oxygenated blood away from the heart and veins carry oxygenated blood back to the heart.
  • Another difference is <em>where does the exchange of gases takes place</em>, in fetuses blood is oxygenated in the placenta, in adults in the lungs.
  • The circulation between adults and fetuses differs in <em>where does the pressure increases</em>, in adults is on the left side of the heart, in fetuses on the right side.
  • Finally,<em> another important difference between adults and fetuses is the presence of shunts</em>, in fetuses these shunts allow both sides of the heart to work parallelly letting mix blood from both ventricles. This shunt gets closed after birth, so adults do not have them.

Which of the following is the term used to describe a body resistance to change in motion
bija089 [108]
<span>Inertia refers to a body or any physical object’s resistance to a change in motion. This change in motion includes, speed, direction, or state of rest. Objects that have moved will keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity. Inertia is one of the fundamental principles of classical physics, for it describes motions of objects and how they are affected when forces are applied on them. Inertia is one of Isaac Newton laws from Philosophia Naturalis Principia Mathematica. </span>
