Thus, one could expect diminished uteroplacental flow and increased vascular resistance in the UA as reported for placental insufficiency in growth‐restricted fetuses. However, Zimmerman et al. 14 found no correlation between umbilical resistance and placental maturity if this was evaluated by Grannum et al. 's grades 36 . Advances in imaging technologies that allow both the anatomy of the utero-placental circulation and the nature of blood flow within it to be assessed at greater resolution should aid our understanding of how uterine hemodynamics modulate pregnancy success. Intervillous and uteroplacental circulation in normal early pregnancy and early Maternal uterine blood flow at term is ∼600 ml min −1, 80% of which passes to the placenta. There is no autoregulation in the uteroplacental circulation and therefore flow is directly related to the mean uterine perfusion pressure and inversely related to uterine vascular resistance. Blood Flow Through the Heart. Beginning with the superior and inferior vena cavae and the coronary sinus, the flowchart below summarizes the flow of blood through the heart, including all arteries, veins, and valves that are passed along the way. 1. Superior and inferior vena cavae and the coronary sinus 2. Rt. atrium 3. Uteroplacental circulation and the factors affecting. 3 Anatomical changes in pregnancy. Uterus an intrapelvic organ till 12 weeks of gestation. By 20 weeks- uterus reaches upto umbilicus. By 34 weeks it reaches the costal margin. Last 2 weeks fundal height decreases when fetal head descends in the pelvis. Increased lumbar lordosis. 4 Pregnancy and labor The uteroplacental circulation is a low-resistance system for the maternal organism. Resistance to blood flow is defined as the ratio of the driving pressure and flow, where the driving pressure is the difference between the central arterial pressure and the venous outflow pressure.

Abnormal insertion of umbilical Placental blood flow is increased at term and amounts to 500 ml/min (80% of the uterine This protects the fetal vessels from collapse (interactive diagram). Pharmacologic Effects on Uteroplacental and Fetal Blood Flow in Labor interdigitation is labyrinthine rather than villous (Fig 17.21 and Table 17.3). In humans
