The umbilical cord is a connection between the mother and the developing fetus. The umbilical cord has three functions for the developing fetus: it supplies oxygen, it delivers nutrients, and it helps to withdraw blood rich in carbon dioxide and depleted in nutrients. Blood from the umbilical cord can also be used to treat a variety of diseases, much like bone marrow.
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.
