During embryologic development, there are two umbilical veins, left and right, that drain blood from the placenta to the heart. The right umbilical vein regresses and under normal circumstances is completely obliterated during the second month of development. The left umbilical vein persists and delivers blood from the placenta to the developing fetus. The diameter of the intra-abdominal umbilical vein increases linearly, from 3 mm at 15 weeks of gestation to 8 mm at term.

veins carry blood back to the heart, while arteries carry blood away/from the heart. therefore, the arteries carried the oxygen from the heart to the baby via umbilical artery, and the veins picked up waste products such as carbon dioxide and carried it back to the heart via the umbilical vein.
How do the brachial veins of the pig differ from those of humans?
The brachial veins of the pig differ from those of humans because of the location. A pig's brachial veins are on the same path as their axillary veins directly to their forearms. Human's brachial veins are on one side of the brachial artery and generally join the axillary vein near the bottom of the Subscapularis.
What is the food source for a fetal pig?
During development, a fetal pig receives nutrients through the umbilical cord from the mother's bloodstream. This ensures that the fetal pig receives all the necessary nutrients for growth and development.
In a fetal pig what is the scar that remains on the abdomen called?
The scar that remains on the abdomen of a fetal pig is called the umbilical scar. It marks the attachment point of the umbilical cord during fetal development, where nutrients and oxygen were exchanged between the piglet and its mother.
