WHAT DOES UMBILICAL CORD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Umbilical cord

In placental mammals, the umbilical cord is a conduit between the developing embryo or fetus and the placenta. During prenatal development, the umbilical cord is physiologically and genetically part of the fetus and normally contains two arteries and one vein, buried within Wharton's jelly. The umbilical vein supplies the fetus with oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the placenta. Conversely, the fetal heart pumps deoxygenated, nutrient-depleted blood through the umbilical arteries back to the placenta.

Definition of umbilical cord in the English dictionary

The definition of umbilical cord in the dictionary is the long flexible tubelike structure connecting a fetus with the placenta: it provides a means of metabolic interchange with the mother. Other definition of umbilical cord is any flexible cord, tube, or cable used to transfer information, power, oxygen, etc, as between an astronaut walking in space and his spacecraft or a deep-sea diver and his craft.
