Where is the embryo gets it's nourishment?
After about a week from conception the zygote consists of over 100 cells. It then separates into two distinct mases. The outer cells form a shell that will become the placenta and the inner cells will become the embryo. First the outer cells must implant or embed themselves in the wall of the uterus. This occurs at about 10 days after conception. If implantation occurs the cells will grow and become an embryo and placenta. An umbilical cord forms and connects to the embryo's stomach and placenta so the embryo can get nourishment.

Do human cut chord on a newborn baby?
if the question was worded better mabye i would have an answer, but at the moment i dont know. If you mean "do humans cut the umbilical cord after delivery," the answer is yes. (Side note: that's why you have a navel, aka 'belly button.') It should be noted that a 'residual cord' is rumored to exist between mothers and some of their children, prompting the mother to treat that child like an infant for the duration of the child's life, even into adulthood. If you meet a person who shares such a relationship with their mother, you may suggest that they "cut the cord." Note that evidence of this cord is purely anecdotal.
How would you cut the umbilical cord off a snapping turtle?
"Snapping turtles are hatched from eggs so they do not have umbilical cords." I know they are hatched from eggs, but I saw a baby turtle that had something like an umbilicus in the middle of its bottom shell. So I looked it up on Google and found a few references to the umbilicus of a baby turtle. I imagine the umbilical cord would be a connection to something inside the egg- the yolk? which nourishes the baby. But I haven't found these details yet. Elizabeth A. Feigon
Is it possible to be born without a navel?
The umbilical cord is the only source of nutrition to a fetus. It provides nutrition from the mother and returns waste products to the mother for disposal. In other words, it is essential to the life of the fetus. At birth, the umbilicus is discarded, along with the placenta, but evidence of it�s existence remains in the form of the naval. If a person does not have a naval it is because he/she may have had a medical condition that required it�s surgical removal after ur born if ur umbilical cord comes out early ur belly button closes, i know because that happened to me, but my mom had the doctor "sclupt" a new one some i have one today and forever. and of course its and innie until i get pregnant

Dr.Whitmman thank you...
How To Bank Cord Blood?
Today’s technology has come a long way when it comes to stem cell research. Many parents are resorting to banking there child’s umbilical cord blood in a cord blood bank. Stem cells are used to treat a variety of diseases. And stem cells are found in the blood that is contained within the umbilical cord after delivery. The process is not complicated and parents should know how to go about this before labor has begun.Step 1. Check with your local hospital about a class they offer to learn about umbilical cord blood banking process. Be sure to enroll in this class before you have the baby. In that class you will learn the reasons why a parent may choose to do this and other information regarding cord blood banks.Step 2. Pick up the necessary forms from the hospital and fill them out. These forms let the hospital know that you wish to save the umbilical cord blood and it also informs them to either save it privately for you and your family or to donate it.Step 3. Check various blood banks for rates. That way when the time comes you know what the cost will be. Saving cord blood could prove expensive but in the long run it could end up saving your life or your families. If you have further questions call the national Cord Blood Registry to get any more information or to answer questions you may have.Step 4. After you have delivered, tell the nurse to save the cord blood. At this time it will be taken from the umbilical cord and placed into a collection bag and stored. Then you need to pay the initial fee of the private blood bank. That fee ranges from $1,000 to $2000. The annual fee due each year after that is around the $100 mark. You pay this for as long as you wish to keep the blood saved. It is a known fact that cord blood is good for up to 15 years or better.
