Why is the pulmonary circulation reduced in the human fetus?
Pulmonary circulation is reduced in the human fetus because the lungs are not yet functional for oxygen exchange. Instead, much of the oxygen comes from the placenta via the umbilical vein and bypasses the lungs through the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale. This allows the fetal lungs to remain collapsed and prevents excessive blood flow through the non-functioning pulmonary circulation.
