It nourishes the fetal pig.
The function of the umbilical vein is to deliver oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. From the placenta, the umbilical vein courses through the liver via the ductus venosus (fetal shunt), connecting then to the inferior vena cava.
The umbilical cord, which carries oxygenated blood to the fetus and waste away from the fetus. The belly button is where the cord was attached to the developing baby.
The umbilical vein is found in fetuses and newborn infants. Within a week after birth, the umbilical vein is destroyed and replaced by the round ligament of the liver.
There are two veins that carry oxygen they are the Pulmonary vein and the Umbilical vein:-)
The umbilical artery forms the superior vesicle arteries and in males it becomes the artery to the ductus deferens in the penis.The right umbilical vein degenerates and the left becomes the ligamentum teres around the liver.
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.
It becomes the ligamentum teres hepatis (connects to the liver) via the ligamentum venosum, basically withers into a non-functional vessel. Also, the two umbilical arteries become medial umbilical ligaments. Hope this helps.
The umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta for nutrient and oxygen exchange.
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.
Via the umbilical vein which connects to the placenta in the womb of the host mother
right and left umbilical arteries carry oxygenated blood. left umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood to the fetus. both these vessels are present in the umbilical cord.
the large vein at the base of the umbilica cord goes to the liver in a pig
