Between the two umbilical vessels, which are the umbilical arteries and the umbilical vein, lies the Wharton's jelly. This gelatinous substance provides cushioning and support to the vessels, protecting them from compression and injury during pregnancy. Wharton's jelly also plays a role in the overall structure of the umbilical cord.

Are there two or one ateries in the umbilical cord?

The umbilical cord typically contains two arteries and one vein.

This structure is essential for fetal development, facilitating nutrient and gas exchange.

How are the placenta and the umbilical cord related?

The umbilical cord is attached to the developing fetus at the navel, and it has two main blood vessels in it; the umbilical artery and the umbilical vein. These vessels form a network of capillaries at the placenta, which is the temporary organ on the wall of the mother's uterus which forms during pregnancy. In the placenta, the mother's blood vessels also narrow to capillaries. The baby's capillaries and the mother's capillaries come side by side, and in that way metabolic wastes diffuse from the baby's blood to the mother's blood so her body can excrete them, and the baby's blood picks up O2 and nutrients from the mother's blood. The umbilical cord is the connection between the baby and the mother, and the placenta is the area in a pregnant woman's uterus which is the site of exchange of various wastes and nutrients between mother and child. The baby's blood and the mother's blood, however, never directly mixes. Everything is accomplished via diffusion between the capillaries in the placenta.

What blood vessels are in the umbilical cord?

An umbilical cord has three veins: 1) The one that carries oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. This particular vein is found in Wharton's Jelly (Gelatinous substance). 2) The other two are the arteries in which it carries deoxygenated nutrient-and-depleted blood away.


What is the structure of an umbilical cord?

The umbilical cord is a tough membrane that covers the two arteries (the umbilical arteries) and one vein (the umbilical vein) that are coated in Wharton's jelly. Wharton's jelly is a gelatinous substance within the umbilical cord. It is derived from extra-embryonic mesoderm.
