Hey...❣️
what is function of umbilical cord??????
Answers
The umbilical cord has three separate functions. Primarily, it serves as a blood source for the neonate. This is especially important because the fetus is unable to breathe (having neither functioning lungs nor an oxygen source) and thus allows the fetus to obtain the oxygen it needs to live. Because the fetus has no way of intaking food, the umbilical cord also serves as a source of nutrients, including calories, proteins, fats, as well as vitamins and nutrients. Finally, the umbilical cord also serves to transfer waste products and deoxygenated blood away from the fetus to the maternal circulation, where it can be processed and excreted.

Explanation:
The cord is sometimes called the baby's “supply line” because it carries the baby's blood back and forth, between the baby and the placenta. It delivers nutrients and oxygen to the baby and removes the baby's waste products. The umbilical cord begins to form at 5weeks after conception.
