Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because oxygenated blood from the mother passes through the placenta to the fetus through the umbilical vein, blood in the umbilical vein has the highest oxygen content of the listed structures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The increase in pulmonary blood flow after birth causes the pressure in the left atrium to exceed that of the right atrium. This functionally closes the foramen ovale. Permanent closure occurs as adhesions develop.
