There are usually two veins and one artery in the cord. The veins carry oxygenated blood and the artery is low in oxygen. If the only artery is missing, the pregnancy will end very early. If one vein is missing, most infants are delivered and are fine.

What blood vessel in fetus contain the most oxygen?
In the umbilical cord you have one vein and two arteries. This vein goes to the liver of foetus. This blood vessel contains most oxygen and food in case of foetus. After birth this vessel gets obliterated to form the falciform ligament.
What does the uterus do in a fetal pig?
Umbilical cord - The flexible cordlike structure connecting a fetus at the navel with the placenta and containing two umbilical arteries and one vein that transport nourishment to the fetus and remove its wastes.
How is a baby nourished during gestation?
The placenta attaches to the child by three blood vessels that make up the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord has three blood vessels one for oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the baby and two arteries carry deoxygenated fetal blood from the baby back to the placenta.
Is there such thing as a kid living without a bellybutton?
Yes! The umbilical cord is attached to the fetus internally, not externally. The abdominal wall then forms around the umbilicus. Though all fetuses have umbilical cords not all have belly buttons as newborns. When the umbilical cord is cut in a normally developed newborn, a belly button is created. The belly button is just the outward remnant of the umbilical cord in a normally developed newborn. However, if the abdominal wall fails to close around the umbilical cord, it is entirely possible to be born without a belly button. I was born with a hole in my abdomen and my external organs on the outside of my body. The surgeons put the organs back inside and stitched me up. I assure you, I have no belly button and never have!Some people lose their bellybuttons later in life through surgery b/c of accidents or sickness.
Can you breathe through your belly button?
Well, yes. But your bellybutton is a deep scar from when your umbilical cord was cut. If you do decide to open it, not only will there be a gaping hole in your stomach, some of your innards may be sucked out...just a warning!
What is a umbilical vein?
An umbilical vein is one of the blood vessels contained in the umbilical cord. It contributes to fetal circulation.
What is the structure of an umbilical cord?
The umbilical cord is a tough membrane that covers the two arteries (the umbilical arteries) and one vein (the umbilical vein) that are coated in Wharton's jelly. Wharton's jelly is a gelatinous substance within the umbilical cord. It is derived from extra-embryonic mesoderm.
The umbilical cord is formed by the?
umbilical cord contains two arteries and one vein. umbilican vein carries pure blood to the fetal heart and umbilical arteries carry impure blood to the placenta of the mother.
Four vessel umbilical cord?
You only have two arteries and one vein.
Are their two arteries and one vein or two veins and one artery in the umbilical cord?
This is to facilitate the exchange of materials between foetus and placenta.
What does it mean if a baby is born with only one artery and one vein in the umbilical cord?
Will my baby die with a heartbeat at 110 hpm.
What is the umbilical cord contains mainly?
From the placenta, oxygen and nutritional requirements through your blood vessels directly pass into your infant's blood vessels and are carried to your infant along the umbilical cord. Blood circulates through vessels in the cord, that involves one vein that carries blood full of oxygen and nutrients from you to your infant.
What blood vessels are in the umbilical cord?
An umbilical cord has three veins: 1) The one that carries oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. This particular vein is found in Wharton's Jelly (Gelatinous substance). 2) The other two are the arteries in which it carries deoxygenated nutrient-and-depleted blood away.
What is a two cell umbilical cord?
I think you mean a two vessel cord. The cord usually has three vessels, two arteries and a vein, occasionally there is only one artery which may mean there is some problem with the baby, possibly with the kidneys.
Where does the umbilical cord go after it enters the baby's body?
The umbilical cord enters the fetus via the abdomen, at the point which (after separation) will become the umbilicus (or navel). Within the fetus, the umbilical vein continues towards thetransverse fissure of the liver, where it splits into two. One of these branches joins with the hepatic portal vein (connecting to its left branch), which carries blood into the liver. The second branch (known as the ductus venosus) allows the majority of the incoming blood (approximately 80%) to bypass the liver and flow via the left hepatic vein into the inferior vena cava, which carries blood towards the heart. The two umbilical arteries branch from the internal iliac arteries, and pass on either side of the urinary bladder before joining the umbilical cord.
What is umbilical cord blood?
