Cardiovascular physiology is the study of the cardiovascular system, specifically addressing the physiology of the heart ("cardio") and blood vessels ("vascular").. These subjects are sometimes addressed separately, under the names cardiac physiology and circulatory physiology.
Reason: Per this edit summary "removed the animation diagram as it is inaccurate and misleading; while the placenta does perform gas exchange as the lungs do, the circulation pattern is entirely different in the fetus. the placenta does not connect to the pulmonary arteries/veins and the diagram also does not include the shunts in the heart which bypass the pulmonary circulation" (copied from ...

The fetal circulation is composed of the placenta, umbilical blood vessels encapsulated by the umbilical cord, heart and systemic blood vessels. A major difference between the fetal circulation and postnatal circulation is that the lungs are not used during the fetal stage ...
