The umbilical cord is the connection between mother and fetus through which gases and nutrients are exchanged. It's remarkable structure allows for freedom of movement while providing a cushioned, protected conduit from mother to fetus. Fetal development and survival are dependent upon the umbilical cord. This article reviews abnormalities of the umbilical cord that can be seen with structural and chromosomal abnormalities and altered umbilical cord flow associated with fetal growth restriction and poor pregnancy outcomes.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Embryonic Connective Tissues
The mesenchyme is the first connective tissue that emerges in the developing embryo. It consists of loosely arranged multipotent mesenchymal cells and reticular fibers in the extracellular matrix. This loose arrangement allows easy migration of cells, which is essential for germ layer positioning, patterning, and organ morphogenesis during embryonic development.
