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 placenta is connected to the fetus by an umbilical cord. Inside the cord are two arteries and a vein; both arteries are referred to as umbilical arteries. The two arteries wrap around the umbilical vein which carries oxygenated blood and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus. Once the oxygen and nutrients have been used, the umbilical artery transfers the deoxygenated blood and waste from the fetus back to the placenta.
