Question
Which of these statements is not true?Select one:a.The right side of the heart never has any oxygenated blood b.In fetal circulation before birth the lungs represent a high resistance to blood flowc.The ductus arteriosus is a bypass vessel connectiond.The prime source of oxygen and food for the unborn is through the umbillical
Solution
The statement that is not true is:
a. The right side of the heart never has any oxygenated blood
Explanation: The right side of the heart does contain oxygenated blood, but only after it has been to the lungs to pick up oxygen. The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs to become oxygenated. After the blood has been oxygenated in the lungs, it returns to the left side of the heart to be pumped back out to the body. Therefore, the right side of the heart does contain oxygenated blood, but only after it has been to the lungs.
