An indoor extension cord is usually made from the same material that your lamp cords are made from. An outside cord has an outer jacket that is usually round in shape and has the electrical data printed on the length of the cord.

Why can fetal cardiac dysrhythmia be treated with medication given to the mother?
Because whatever the mother puts in her body will be transferred over to the baby. The umbilical cord is like an extension cord dining from the mother to the baby transferring blood oxygen and sustenance. So when the mother takes the drugs they enter her blood stream and will be pumped to the baby through the umbilical cord. This is the same reason you should not smoke drink alcohol or take drugs your doctor does not tell you to take.
