<h3>What is umbilical cord?</h3>
  • During pregnancy, a tube called the umbilical cord joins you to your unborn child.
  • It has three blood vessels: two arteries transfer waste from your baby back to the placenta and one vein carries food and oxygen from the placenta to your baby.
  • Because it transports the baby's blood back and forth between the newborn and the placenta, the cord is sometimes referred to as the "supply line" for the infant.
  • It provides the newborn with nourishment, oxygen, and waste product removal.
  • The umbilical cord begins to grow five weeks after conception.
  • Wharton's jelly, a gelatinous substance primarily formed of mucopolysaccharides that shields the blood vessels inside the umbilical cord, is present there.

6. Explain why household measurement devices, such as teaspoons and tablespoons, should be avoided when measuring dosages?
grin007 [14]
Im not entirely sure, but they probably are not accurate enough (spillage etc.), whereas a syringe or another device is more contained and able to be effectively and scientifically measured, so there is less human error incorporated in the dosage amount. Hope this helps
