Viviparity: birth of live young

Viviparity is the process of giving birth to live babies that have developed inside the mother's body, receiving nutrients from the yolk or directly from the mother's body through the placenta. This process is one of the most common in the animal kingdom.

Viviparity occurs in many animal species, including mammals, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. In mammals, viviparity is the only method of reproduction.

One of the features of viviparity is that the baby develops inside the mother’s body, where it receives all the necessary nutrients and oxygen. During the development of the placenta, which is a special organ, nutrition and oxygen are supplied to the baby through the mother's circulatory system.

In addition, live birth has another interesting feature: the baby is born fully formed and ready for independent life. Unlike oviparous animals, where the baby must travel a long way to develop from the egg, live-born babies do not have this need.

However, the process of live birth does not always go smoothly. Sometimes problems may arise due to placental incompetence or other problems during pregnancy. This can lead to the birth of premature or sick babies.

Vital capacity, or the maximum volume of air a person can exhale after taking the deepest breath, has nothing to do with live births, but it is an important indicator of a person's lung health.

In conclusion, viviparity is an amazing reproductive process that occurs in many animal species. It allows the cubs to receive all the necessary nutrients and oxygen during development and prepares them for independent life immediately after birth.
