Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The umbilical arteries carry deoxygenated fetal blood toward the placenta for replenishment, and the umbilical vein carries newly oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood back to the fetus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your pulmonary arteries carry blood from your heart to your lungs. They’re the only arteries in your body that carry oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood.
Detailed explanation-3: -The umbilical VEIN (veins flow blood to the baby’s heart) is therefore oxygenated. The umbilical ARTERY (arteries flow blood away from the heart) returns the blood that has off-loaded oxygen to the baby/fetus and so is deoxygenated, in order to pick up more oxygen again from the placenta.
