Card 7 / 19:
Why is it so important for the human heart to develop early and begin functioning within the developing embryo?
The human embryo is rapidly growing and has great demands for nutrients and oxygen, while producing waste products including carbon dioxide. All of these materials must be received from or delivered to the mother for processing. Without an efficient early circulatory system, this would be impossible.
