About 2 weeks after conception, the umbilical cord and the placenta are sufficiently developed to begin their functions.hrough two arteries and a vein in the cord, nourishment and oxygen pass from the blood vessels in the placenta to the fetus, and waste products pass from the fetus to the placenta. Soon after birth, the umbilical cord is clamped or tied and then cut.
