Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the umbilical arteries in fetal circulation. They are part of the umbilical cord, which connects the fetus to the placenta.

Recognize that the umbilical arteries carry blood away from the fetus. In the context of fetal circulation, arteries transport blood away from the heart, even if it is deoxygenated.

Identify the type of blood transported by the umbilical arteries. In fetal circulation, the umbilical arteries carry deoxygenated blood.

Clarify the destination of the blood carried by the umbilical arteries. The deoxygenated blood is transported from the fetus to the placenta.

Summarize the function of the umbilical arteries: They transport deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta, where waste products are exchanged for nutrients and oxygen.
