Summary
During pregnancy,
Oxygen Transport
is enhanced to meet the increased
Metabolic Demands
of both the mother and the developing fetus, facilitated by physiological adaptations such as increased
Maternal Blood Volume
,
Elevated cardiac output
, and
Changes in hemoglobin affinity
. The placenta plays a crucial role in mediating
Oxygen Exchange
between maternal and
Fetal Circulation
s, ensuring
Adequate oxygen supply
to the fetus.
