Question

Attachment of foetus of placenta occurs through
A. Chorda mesoderm
B. Spinal cord
C. Umbilical cord
D. Notochord

Answer 1

Hint: There are some reasons which could cause the infant to become more closely related to the mother. This concept was first introduced for the postpartum period but it is believed to be the attachment stars long before the birth.

Complete Answer:
- The placenta which is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. The main function of this structure is to provide oxygen and nutrients to your growing baby and remove waste products from the baby's blood.
- A fetus is the term which is used to describe the unborn offspring of an animal that develops from an embryo. Subsequent to the embryonic development the fetal stage of development takes place.
- The umbilical cord is a tube like structure that connects the mother to the baby during pregnancy. It has three blood vessels, one vein which carries food and oxygen from the placenta to the baby and two arteries which take waste from the baby back to the placenta. A substance which is known as Wharton’s jelly cushions and protects these blood vessels.
- The umbilical cord normally starts to form at about four weeks of pregnancy and generally grows to be about 22 inches long. Umbilical cord prolapse is a condition when the umbilical cord slips into the vagina or the birth canal in front of the baby during labor and birth. The cord can get haggard, so the baby may not get enough oxygen.

Umbilical cord prolapsed generally occurs when:
- Baby is premature.
- The baby is having very low birth weight.
- When the baby is in a breech position. That means he’s not headed down for labor and birth.
- If the umbilical cord is too long.
- Too much amount of amniotic fluid .

So the correct answer for this question is option C umbilical cord.

Note: Umbilical cord is generally considered as having both emotional and physical attachment between the mother and the baby. Delaying the umbilical cord which allows more blood transfer to the baby.
