The umbilical cord serves three primary functions: it acts as a lifeline between the developing fetus and the placenta, providing a channel for the transfer of oxygen and nutrients from the mother to the fetus. It also facilitates the removal of waste products from the fetus back to the mother for disposal. Additionally, the cord contains two arteries and one vein, which help regulate blood flow and maintain fetal circulation throughout pregnancy.
