If fetal arterial pressure begins to fall below normal A. BARORECEPTORS CAUSE VASOCONSTRICTION AND INCREASE THE FHR
levels: An increase in arterial blood pressure produces vessel distension and causes
arterial baroreceptors to send neuronal messages to the cardioinhibitory center,
which in turn causes rapid slowing of the fetal heart rate via the parasympathetic
vagus nerve. A decrease in arterial pressure results in an increased heart rate.

Which of the following is an extrinsic influence on the Fetal-placental circulation
FHR?
Fetal heart rate vaiability is definded as fluctuations in the AMPLITUDE and FREQUENCY
baseline that are irregular in
The most highly oxygenated blood in fetal circulation is Ductus venosus
carried by:
An increase in the fetal heart rate immediately preceding Occlusion of the umbilical vein
a variable deceleration is caused by:
The etiology of variable decelerations is likely related to umbilical venous and
arterial occlusion. Initially, with occlusion of the thin-walled umbilical vein, venous
return to the fetal right atrium is reduced, producing a reflex tachycardia. This
pattern often is observed as a shoulder on the FHR monitor strip immediately
before the abrupt variable FHR deceleration
