A doctor recently shared an ultrasound of his patient on Twitter. This image, which at first glance can be compared to a leg or even brass knuckles, must also have confused the patient: “Doctor, what are these legs, what are these legs? Am I going to give birth to a cat?” he asked.
“I gave birth, my child.” to the cat-dog moms who say material puller What does this image actually belong to?
What if we say: “Something that connects a person to life…”?
Of course, cat-dog paws also connect people to life. However, in this image something more organic. Did you start thinking about something?
Yes! This leg-like statue is actually an ‘umbilical cord’.
This echo image, which can be understood as the stomach of someone who has swallowed a knuckle, is actually our parents’ stomach. to the university gardens the umbilical cord that had buried a whim.
The umbilical cord of the fetus is not directly connected to the mother’s circulatory system, but to the placenta. Like the doctor said “Connecting people to life” is a vineyard.
The umbilical cord has a unique structure compared to other organs.
The vein of the umbilical cord, which is part of the fetus, comes from the placenta. oxygenated and nutritious transfers blood. Arteries, on the other hand, carry deoxygenated and nutritious blood that is pumped by the baby’s heart.
Also, it is not uncommon in our biology for a vein to carry oxygenated blood and arteries to carry deoxygenated blood. in the umbilical cord different from other organs The presence of 2 arteries and 1 vein creates a cute paw-like appearance.
The umbilical cord is almost 50 cm long and so strong that it can only be cut with a scalpel!
The umbilical cord is like a scalpel because it has a very strong structure. with a very sharp instrument must be cut. The umbilical cord, which is 50 cm long and 2 cm in diameter, can pose a great risk to the baby if it is cut prematurely or too late.
After the tie is cut a wound in our stomach remains, and the image that emerges after this wound heals is our “navel”. Other mammals also have an umbilical cord. They break this bond by biting so that the enzyme in their saliva prevents bleeding after the break.
