|
Attachment between the fetus and placenta. Umbilical cord contains two arteries and one vein, providing continuous blood flow. The blood, oxygen, and noursihment to the baby from the mother are carried via the umbilical vein. the arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the fetus back to the placenta.
