Question

multiple choice
umbilical arteries.
ductus arteriosus.
foramen ovale.

Explanation:

In fetal circulation, after blood travels through the umbilical vein, it passes through the ductus venosus. But among the given options, the blood from the umbilical - vein eventually makes its way towards the foramen ovale to bypass the non - functioning fetal lungs. The umbilical arteries carry deoxygenated blood away from the fetus to the placenta. The ductus arteriosus shunts blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta.

C. foramen ovale
