Where is the umbilical cord attached?
Quick Answer
The umbilical cord is attached to the fetus at the abdomen and to the placenta in the uterus. It carries blood vessels that support fetal development.
The Full Story
The umbilical cord connects the developing fetus to the placenta. One end attaches at the fetus's abdomen, where it enters through the navel region, and the other end connects to the placenta in the uterus. The cord contains two arteries and one vein, which transport blood between fetus and placenta. After birth, it is clamped and cut, leaving the umbilical scar known as the navel.
