While baby is in the womb, the umbilical cord (umbilical cord) is the pathway for nourishment. The umbilical cord contains two arteries and one vein. Oxygen and nutrients (glucose, amino acids, vitamins, minerals) from the mother's placenta reach the baby through the umbilical vein. The baby's waste products are sent back to the placenta through the umbilical arteries. This system continues until baby's own digestive and respiratory systems begin working (which happens at birth when the umbilical cord is cut).
