Modeling Gases, Nutrients and Wastes in the Feto-Placental Circulation

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Mathematical Modelling

Abstract

The circulation between the mother and fetus is a very important process as it enables the fetus to receive all the necessary conditions for its growth, nourishment and the elimination of the waste products. For general growth of the fetus confined within uterus, proper exchange and transport of nutrients, gases and waste materials is extremely necessary. In the feto-placental circulation, the blood rich in oxygen and nutrients flows from the placenta through the umbilical vein while the deoxygenated and nutrient-depleted blood from the fetus flows through umbilical arteries back to the placenta. It's of great importance to Identify pregnancies with fetal compromise which could cause stillbirth and defects in fetus, through effective diagnosis in the umbilical arteries. We?ve developed a four compartmental model representing mother, placenta, umbilical cord and fetus.

Keywords
