This image shows a cross-section of an umbilical cord, where two arteries and one vein create a face-like appearance—the arteries resemble eyes, and the vein looks like a mouth. The umbilical cord is a vital connection between the fetus and placenta, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and removing waste. The two smaller arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the placenta, while the larger vein brings oxygen-rich blood back to the fetus.
