sorry for this creepy *** image but there's not really that many good images that show the whole system
|dw:1543023127049:dw| placenta will be the source of oxygen+nutrients
|dw:1543023266168:dw|
|dw:1543023289254:dw| the aorta is in the exact same location as the adult heart the foramen ovale is an opening between the atria and is closed off in the adult heart
|dw:1543023411212:dw| the next two structures should be familiar from studying the adult heart; the pulmonary trunk and inferior vena cava
next we will be adding three new structures not previously studied in the adult circulatory system |dw:1543023502654:dw| the ductus arteriosus is a branch just below and off the artery the ductus venosus is posterior to the liver and the umbilical arteries are located in the inferior region of the body , draining back to the placenta
