A functional exchange shunt in the umbilical cord: the role of coiling in solute and heat transfer
Tianran Wan, Edward D. Johnstone, Shier Nee Saw +2
The umbilical cord plays a critical role in delivering nutrients and oxygen from the placenta to the fetus through the umbilical vein, while the two umbilical arteries carry deoxyg…
Quantifying the impact of tissue metabolism on solute transport in feto-placental microvascular networks
Alexander Erlich, Gareth A. Nye, Paul Brownbill +2
The primary exchange units in the human placenta are terminal villi, in which fetal capillary networks are surrounded by a thin layer of villous tissue, separating fetal from mater…
Image-Based Modeling of Blood Flow and Oxygen Transfer in Feto-Placental Capillaries
Philip Pearce, Paul Brownbill, Jiri Janacek +4
During pregnancy, oxygen diffuses from maternal to fetal blood through villous trees in the placenta. In this paper, we simulate blood flow and oxygen transfer in feto-placental ca…
