Close. Slide #DMS 052 [Umbilical cord]. Mucoid (aka mucous, mucin or mucinogen-the carbohydrate-rich glycoproteins found in glandular tissue in the adult) connective tissue can be found in the umbilical cord.
The umbilical cord is the life-line that attaches the placenta to the fetus. The umbilical cord is made up of three blood vessels: two smaller arteries which carry blood to the placenta and a larger vein which returns blood to the fetus. It can grow to be 60 cm long, allowing the baby enough cord to safely move around without causing damage to the cord or the placenta.
