What is the umbilical cord? The umbilical cord is made up of: 1  one vein that carries blood rich in oxygen and nutrients from you to your baby. 2  two arteries that return deoxygenated blood and waste products, such as carbon dioxide, from your baby back to the placenta.

- Abnormal number of vessels. 2-vessels cords. Single umbilical artery (SUA), the most common anatomical abnormality of the umbilical cord, is found in 0,2-1,1% of singleton pregnancies1, and in 6-11% of multiple pregnancies. The selection process of the missing (or existing) vessel is likely to be random, even though a right single artery is slightly more common2.

Cord abnormalities, structural lesions, and cord âaccidentsâ Mechanical obstruction of blood flow through the umbilical cord may occur secondary to any type of force that compresses umbilical vessels. The fetus itself may compress the cord when there are cord entanglements, membranous vessels, and cord prolapse.

- During embryologic development, there are two umbilical veins, left and right, that drain blood from the placenta to the heart. The right umbilical vein regresses and under no … rmal circumstances is completely obliterated during the second month of development.

The Fetal Life-Support System: Placenta, Umbilical Cord, & Amniotic Sac The umbilical cord is made up of three blood vessels: two smaller arteries which carry blood to the placenta and a larger vein which returns blood to the fetus. It can grow to be 60 cm long, allowing the baby enough cord to safely move around without causing damage to the cord or the placenta.

Single Umbilical Artery In Single Umbilical Artery (SUA), there is only one umbilical artery, which affects the blood supply between the mother and the developing fetus. Typically, the condition is associated with miscarriages and stillbirths. The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall.

- VELAMENTOUS UMBILICAL CORD. 1  Definition — In a velamentous umbilical cord insertion, the placental end of the cord consists of divergent umbilical vessels surrounded only by fetal membranes, with no Wharton's jelly. The length of the membranous vessels, ie, the distance between the end of the normal cord and the placental insertion, is highly variable.

vein umbilical vein the vein formed by fusion of the atrophied right umbilical vein with the left umbilical vein, the two veins that carry blood from the chorion to the sinus venosus and heart in the early embryo; it carries all the blood from the placenta to the ductus venosus.

Umbilical cord In placental mammals, the umbilical cord (also called the navel string,[1] birth cord or funiculus umbilicalis) is a conduit between the developing embryo or fetus and the placenta.

Umbilical cord In placental mammals, the umbilical cord is a conduit between the developing embryo or fetus and the placenta. During prenatal development, the umbilical cord is physiologically and genetically part of the fetus and,, normally contains two arteries and one vein, buried within Wharton's jelly. The umbilical vein supplies the fetus with oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the placenta. Conversely, the fetal heart pumps deoxygenated, nutrient-depleted blood through the umbilical arteries back to t

- In 2 patients, the umbilical vein connected to the systemic venous circulation by way of the portalsinus: via an abnormal venous channel from the portal sinus to the right atrium (case 1) and presum-ably via hepatic sinusoids to the hepatic veins (case 2).

- Most babies’ umbilical cords have three blood vessels: one vein, which brings nutrients from the placenta to baby, and two arteries that bring waste back to the placenta.But a two-vessel cord has just one vein and one artery — that's why the condition is also referred to as having a single umbilical artery.ost babies’ umbilical cords have three blood vessels: one vein, which brings nutrients from the placenta to baby, and two arteries that bring waste back to the placenta.

- Umbilical arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the fetus and the umbilical vein carries the most oxygen-rich blood to the fetus. Arteries are often described as vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood, and veins are said to carry oxygen –poor (carbon dioxide-rich) blood. Name two sets of exceptions to this rule that were discussed in this chapter. Pulmonary arteries carry oxygen-poor blood and pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood. Umbilical arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from the fetus and the umbilical vein carries the most oxygen-rich blood to the fetus. Arteries lack valves, but veins have them.

10.3 Placental blood circulation The blood pressure in the arteria umbilicalis amounts to 50 mmHg and the blood flows through finer vessels that cross through the chorionic plate to the capillaries in the villi where the arterial blood pressure falls to 30 mmHg. In the umbilical vein the pressure is 20 mm Hg.he blood pressure in the arteria umbilicalis amounts to 50 mmHg and the blood flows through finer vessels that cross through the chorionic plate to the capillaries in the villi where the arterial blood pressure falls to 30 mmHg. In the umbilical vein the pressure is 20 mm Hg.

Umbilical catheters HOW ARE UMBILICAL CATHETERS PLACED? There are normally two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein in the umbilical cord. After the umbilical cord is cut off, the health care provider can find these blood vessels. The catheters are placed into the blood vessel, and an x-ray is taken to determine the final position. Once the catheters are in the right position, they are held in place with silk thread. Sometimes, the catheters are taped to the baby's belly area.

fetal circulation Oxygenated blood from the placenta is carried to the fetus by the umbilical vein. The blood from the fetus is returned to the placenta by two umbilical arteries. Oxygenation of the fetal blood and disposal of its waste products is carried on through the placenta.

- The fetal circulation is the circulatory system of a human fetus, often encompassing the entire fetoplacental circulation which includes the umbilical cord and the blood vessels within the placenta that carry fetal blood.he uterine arteries carry blood to the placenta, and the blood permeates the sponge-like material there. Oxygen then diffuses from the placenta to the chorionic villus, an alveolus-like structure, where it is then carried to the umbilical vein.

-   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 th … e ductus venosus (fetal shunt), connecting then to the inferior vena cava.

Umbilical Cord The umbilical cord is coated in a substance called Wharton's jelly, which serves to strengthen the cord and protect the blood vessels inside. The maternal end of the umbilical cord is attached to the placenta, which acts as an intermediary between the umbilical cord and the mother's circulatory system. The other end attaches to the fetus in the abdominal area (what will later become a person's navel or belly button).
