b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason why the majority of blood bypasses the lungs of the fetus.

Introduction: The blood in the pulmonary artery of the developing fetus bypasses the lungs and enters inside the aorta with the help of ductus arteriosus.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The circuit having the higher resistance if the systemic side is greater than the pulmonary side of the circulatory system.

Introduction: The fetal bypass channel closes during the first day after the childbirth but remains open in majority of the cases.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The side of the heart that is required to generate a higher pressure for overcoming resistance if the flow in systemic and pulmonary circulations is equal.

Introduction: The ductus arteriosus usually closes during the first day after, but in some cases, surgery is required for closing this patent ductus arteriosus.

e.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The direction of flow of blood through patent ductus arteriosus.
