Quizlet allows me to create practice exams so that my students can easily access and go over the things that I recommend are of importance. Quizlet has not only enhanced the experience for my students, but it has actually improved the grades of those students of mine who are taking advantage of Quizlet.
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).
