Yes goats do eat some weeds but the nutritional value of many weeds is very high. My studies of the nutritional value of thistles and blackberries (Table 1), for example, have shown that the nutritional value of these weeds can be as high or higher than the nutritional value of pasture.
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 â¦ e ductus venosus (fetal shunt), connecting then to the inferior vena cava. 11 people found this useful.
It moves blood from the right atrium of the heart to the left atrium. The ductus arteriosus moves blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta. Oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood are transferred across the placenta to the fetus. The enriched blood flows through the umbilical cord to the liver and splits into three branches.
