What differences did you observe in the structure of an artery and vein of the umbilical cord?
Arteries have a smaller lumen (centre passage) than veins do, they also have thicker more 'muscular' walls than veins do. This is because blood pressure is higher in arteries than in veins, as arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood to the heart, pressure has to be high in arteries so that blood can reach all around the body.
What else can I help you with?

Which blood vessel contains blood with the highest oxygen level?
Umbilical Vein, all other vessels have varying degrees of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
What is the nature of an artery in the umbilical cord of a fetus?

b. umbilical vein
What does it mean if there is only 1 vein and 1 artery in the umbilical cord?
congenital renal artery stenosis

No, Umbilical arteries take deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta, it is the umbilical vein carries the oxygenated blood from the placenta to the futus.
Umbilical artery SD ratio 2.11 at 26 Weeks?
This is normal.
What artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Arteries probably CAN carry deoxygenated blood if a person draws blood from a vein, then injects it into an artery. That would be very stupid though.
What is three differences in the composition of the blood in the umbilical artery and the umbilical vein?
Umbilical vein is saturated with oxygen and devoid of carbon bi oxide. Umbilical arteries has lost much of the oxygen and it is replaced with carbon bi oxide. Umbilical vein is full on digested food material, like amino acids, glucose, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Umbilical arteries has got waste products of metabolism and lost much of the food material to the fetus. The blood pressure is umbilical vein is very low. The blood pressure in the umbilical arteries is high.
Why is umbilical artery called an artery when it carries oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
An artery is the vessel that carries blood away from the heart. The pulmonary artery carries only deoxygenated blood after birth.
