How many arteries are there in an umbilical cord?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) -Two
The umbilical cord is the pathway between the baby and the placenta.
The umbilical cord contains three blood vessels in total: two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein. The arteries carry deoxygenated blood and waste products away from the baby to the placenta, while the vein carries oxygenated blood and nutrients from the placenta to the baby.
