efficiently with oxygen. The heart consists of two atria and
two ventricles, which are completely separated from each
other. This prevents the mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-
deficient blood. All mammals, except for the egg-laying
monotremes, give birth to live young. During pregnancy, the
foetus is linked to the circulatory system of the female and is
supplied with nutrients via the placenta and umbilical cord.
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide also takes place
using this route.
