Lockdown Embryology with Prof Alice Roberts #13: Fetal Circulation

I start with a bit about veins, looking at how the fetus gets oxygenated blood into its little body, then look at the fetal circulation in more detail - a circulation with inbuilt valves - ready to switch over from placenta to lungs when the baby takes its first breath.

Thank you professor.

Such an eye-opener for a neophyte like me! Your classes must be a joy to attend.

Perfect. Just made a cup of tea and sat down. Informative but somehow relaxing. Nice work. 👍🏻

It's amazing what you can accomplish when your in possession of a brilliant mind.

Beautiful and educational. Thank you.
Do you know how many videos you will include in this series?

[@aliceroberts4107]

I've just added one more - and that's it for now. But there will be more! I will probably keep adding small details after I've dealt with the major organ systems.
