This card explains how a fetus obtains oxygen from the mother via the placenta, utilizing the higher oxygen affinity of fetal hemoglobin.
Tato karta vysvětluje, jak plod získává kyslík od matky prostřednictvím placenty, využívajíc vyšší afinitu fetálního hemoglobinu k O2.
| Front | How Fetus gets O2 3.1.2(j) |
