In the fetus, the ductus venosus shunts a significant majority (80%) of the blood flow of the umbilical vein directly to the inferior vena cava. Thus, it allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver. In conjunction with the other fetal shunts, the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus, it plays a critical role in preferentially shunting oxygenated blood to the fetal brain.

Not every relation is a function. But every function is a relation. Function is just a part of relation.
The cubic function.

A formula or graph are two ways to describe a math function. How a math function is described depends on the domain of the function or the complexity of the function.
The ductus venosus.
The foramen ovale closes, becoming part of the interatrial septum. The Ductus arteriosus becomes the ligamentum arteriosum and the ductus venosus becomes the ligamentum venosum.
The structure that allows blood to bypass a fetus inmmature liver is called ductus venosus.

During gestation the ductus venosus shunts most of the blood from the umbilical vein directly into the inferior vena cava. Shortly after birth the ductus venosus closes to allow normal circulation. It usually closes completely within the first week after birth, but can take longer in pre-term infants. After it is closes a small remnant remains and is called the ligamentum venosum.

The ductus arteriousus connects the pulmonary artery with the descending thoracic aorta, allowing the blood to enter into the fetal circulation without going through the lungs. This structure closes at birth and becomes the "ligamentum arteriosus."

The ductus venosus shunts most of the left umbilical vein blood flow directly to the inferior vena cava. This allows relatively highly oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver and get to the fetal brain.
