The distal end of this artery contains receptors (baroreceptors)for blood pressure regulation.

The renal arteries

This vein begins in the foot,ascends along the medial side,and merges with the femoral vein to become the external iliac vein.

These blood vessels have very thin walls and are called the exchange vessels.

In which fetal blood vessel is oxygen concentration greatest?

If this fetal heart structure failed to close after birth,blood would shunt from the left atrium into the right atrium.
