Fetal Circulation
Summary
Birth
• foramen ovale foramen ovalis • Arteries, capillaries and veins have layers
• ductus arteriosus ligamentum arteriosum and specific functions.
• Hepatic portal circulation serves the
Congenital heart defects digestive system and liver.
• Patent foramen ovales: opening • Fetal circulation serves the fetus and is
remains, L ventricle works harder modified after birth.
• Patent ductus arteriosus: duct
remains, not enough oxygenated
blood to body
Circulation Physiology
Quiz
Blood flows through the body.

Overview Blood flow
• Blood flow: volume of blood flowing in a
• Blood flow
given period (mL/min)
• Blood pressure: arterial and venous
• 2 factors affect blood flow
• Blood pressure regulation
• Capillary exchange
1. Blood pressure 2. Blood resistance
1. Viscosity
2. Vessel length
3. Vessel diameter
Pressure Flow
Resistance Flow Hypertension: high blood pressure (140/90)

Arterial blood pressure Venous blood pressure
• Pulse pressure = systolic – diastolic pressure
• Problem: pressure too low to return blood
• Mean arterial pressure (MAP) =
• Solutions:
diastolic pressure + 1/3 (pulse pressure) 1. Respiratory pump
2. Muscular pump

Baroreceptors: vasodilation
Blood pressure stretched

Blood pressure regulation: Blood pressure regulation:
neural hormonal
cardiac centers
• Adrenal medulla hormones:
Vasomotor center – Norepinephrine (NE)
in medulla ? – Epinephrine
vasoconstriction
• Angiotension II
Blood pressure
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Chemoreceptors: vasoconstriction
detect chemicals
• Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) vasodilation
Low O2, high CO2 increase pressure

Capillary exchange: Capillary exchange:
gases and nutrients bulk fluids
Determined by two forces
• Exchanging O2, CO2, nutrients and waste
1. Hydrostatic pressure (HPc)
between blood and interstitial fluid
2. Colloid osmotic pressure (OPc)
• Diffusion
Net filtration pressure (NFP) = HPc - OPc
1. membrane
2. intercellular cleft
3. fenestrations OPc = 25 mm Hg
4. vesicles
capillary HPc = 35 NFP = 10 mm Hg
