The baby receives oxygen and nutrients thru the placenta which is where your navel is after birth . Once the baby is outside Mom's body, it begins to breathe thru it's lungs and get nutrition from nursing or bottle feeding . The placenta is tied off right after delivery, and the excess skin atrophies and falls off , and there you go, a bellybutton.

Where do epidermal cells get their nutrients?
Epidermal cells receive nutrients and oxygen from the blood vessels in the dermis.
What does the placenta pass to mother from baby?
it passes oxygen and nutrients
What is the use of placenta?
The placenta is what gives the baby blood, nutrients and oxygen from the mother while in the womb. Without the placenta, the baby would have no way of surviving.
Body cells receive oxygen and nutrients from food delivered by?
Blood does. It carries oxygen from the lungs with which you breath fresh air in. Then blood goes to the heart and is sent to the whole body with oxygen! Oxygen support the cells', and the body's life!
Why do babies need the blood from the mother?
Babies do not 'get' blood from their mothers. There is a separation between the mother's blood and the baby's blood. Mixing of parental and fetus' blood is a potentially a fatal condition if the blood types are not the same. Fatal for the baby, for sure, and potentially for the mother as well. What happens is that there is a transfer of oxygen and nutrients across the semi-permeable membranes that separate the two systems. If the baby did not receive these nutrients it would starve and die.
How is the baby provided with oxygen and nutrients?

How does an embryo get oxygen and nutrients from its mom?
A mammalian embryo gets oxygen and nutrients from it mother by means of the umbilical cord which extends the embryonic blood supply into the placenta embedded in the mothers womb. The blood supply in the placenta is close to that of the mother and oxygen and nutrients diffuse across from the mother to the baby. With egg laying animals the nutrients are supply to the embryo as the yolk part of the egg and oxygen is supplied by diffusion through the permeable shell and shell membrane
Why is the umbilical cord necessary?
The placenta has the job of taking everything from your body that the baby needs (ie: oxygen from the blood, nutrients, etc) and filters it out... the umbilical cord carries these 'needs' to the baby so he/she can grow healthy :)
What does blood carry to every cell in the body?
oxygen and nutrients
By what process are nutrients and oxygen oxidized in your cells?
The process by which nutrients and oxygen are oxidized in cells is cellular respiration. It involves the oxidation of nutrients usually by oxygen.
What provides food and oxygen for a developing embryo?
The Placenta uses a the process of diffusion to diffuse the nutrients from the mothers blood into the babies. Then the umbilical cord carries the nutrients to the baby to the Placenta. Answer is Placenta
How bad is Pica in babies?
Some non food items that can be eaten by a mother who has pica can be poisonous and can cause the baby to have a deficiency. Also the baby will not receive proper nutrients from such items.
