What type of tissue is found in the umbilical cord?
The surface of the umbilical cord is comprised of amniotic epithelium contiguous with the placenta and fetus. The connective tissue of the umbilical cord is of extraembryonic mesoderm origin, composed of Wharton's jelly (mucoid connective tissue) and sparsely distributed cells, including, stromal mesenchymal cells, contractile cells, macrophages, mast cells and myofibroblasts. It also contains a large quantity of water which aids in the prevention of umbilical blood vessel compression. There are umbilical arteries (2) and a vein inside the mucoid tissue.
