Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Most blood enters the aorta through the ductus arteriosus, which is a channel between the pulmonary artery and the descending aorta. The ductus venosus connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The foramen ovale is an opening between the atria of the heart. Most blood bypasses the liver (portal circulation).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Amniotic fluid first appears at about 3 weeks. There is approximately 30 mL of amniotic fluid present at 10 weeks of gestation, and this amount increases to approximately 800 mL at 24 weeks of gestation. After that time, the total fluid volume remains fairly stable until it begins to decrease slightly as the pregnancy reaches term.
