navelkapsel

The navelkapsel, also known as the umbilical cord, is a vital structure that connects a developing fetus to the placenta in the womb. It consists of two arteries and one vein, which supply oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and carry away waste products. The umbilical cord is typically about 20 inches long at birth and is usually cut after delivery, although in some cases, it may be left intact for medical reasons.

The navelkapsel plays a crucial role in fetal development, providing essential nutrients and oxygen to the growing fetus. It also helps to regulate the fetus's heart rate and blood pressure. After birth, the navelkapsel is usually cut and sealed with a clamp and scissors, although in some cases, it may be left intact for medical reasons, such as in cases of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.

The navelkapsel is a temporary structure that is shed after birth, and the remaining stump is the navel, which is the visible part of the umbilical cord. The navel is a remnant of the navelkapsel and serves no further biological function after birth. In some cultures, the navel is considered a sacred or important part of the body, and it may be decorated or covered with clothing.
