Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During pregnancy, there is an increased demand for oxygen and nutrients, which is met through an increase in respiratory rate and tidal volume, blood volume, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and nutrient requirements. Additionally, the uterus and mammary glands increase in size to accommodate fetal growth and prepare for lactation.
