Fetus: Red Blood Cells

247 Words1 Pages
Fetus has more red blood cells than an adult. Fetal hemoglobin can load oxygen at partial pressures of oxygen where adult hemoglobin unloads. This takes place in the placenta. So as adult hemoglobin unloads, fetal loads around the fetus' body. The number of red blood cells combined with the increased. Fetal hemoglobin can load oxygen at partial pressures of oxygen where adult hemoglobin unloads. This takes place in the placenta. So as adult hemoglobin unloads, fetal loads around the fetus' body. The number of red blood cells combined with the increased. A fetus heart must beat quickly in order to allow such large amounts of red blood cells to pick up the much needed placental oxygen, it only takes about 30 seconds for a fetal blood cell

In fetal pigs, “the brachiocephalic artery splits into the right subclavian artery and the bicarotid trunk which then splits into the right and left common carotid arteries” (“Human/ Pig Comparisons”). Nonetheless, humans do not have a “bicarotid trunk and instead the left common carotid artery branches directly from the aorta” (“Human/ Pig Comparisons”).

First, external cardiotocography is used for continuous or periodical monitoring of the fetal heart rate and the activity of the uterine muscle. The latter is detected by two transducers placed on the maternal abdomen: one above the fetal heart level and the other at the fundus. Doppler ultrasound provides the information which is recorded on a paper strip known as a cardiotocograph (CTG) (14) .The second type is the internal cardiotocograph uses an electronic transducer connected directly to the fetal scalp. Internal monitoring provides a more accurate and consistent transmission of the fetal heart rate than external monitoring because factors such as movement do not affect it.

In the United States, preterm birth has been on a steady increase, because we now have the medical technology to keep very small underdeveloped babies alive. Treating complications from preterm birth can be very expensive, but more affordable alternatives are currently being researched. One of the most promising is receptive music therapy, a brand of therapy that is flexible in that it can actively involve the family of the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) baby; currently, it’s spreading to NICUs around the nation. Some specialists advocate for using the mother’s voice and heartbeat, as well as the father’s voice, and familial music taste. Because it allows and encourages the attachment of parents and child and directly involves the parents, music therapy is uniquely beneficial to familial emotional health and offers a human touch along with proven medical benefits.

This lets us to notice what in the red blood cell was able to permeable across the cell membrane, since they were placed in different osmolality solutions we are able observe the tonicity of the cell’s behavior. When the Erythrocyte is placed into a hypotonic solution, the cell will swell because water will move gradually into the cell. The concentration of solutes are lower outside than the inside of the cell, so the water will move in the cell and cause the cell to swell. If the cell was placed to hypertonic solution, the solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell, so the water moves out the cell and causes the cell to shrink. When the red blood cell is placed into a isotonic solution, the concentration of the
