Veins Umbilical-Intestinal

The veins of the umbilical tract (v.omphaloentericae) are a system of veins that arise from the umbilical cord and flow into the intestinal veins. These veins play an important role in the blood circulation of the fetus and ensure the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to organs and tissues.

The veins of the umbilical tract begin from the umbilical vein, which arises from the common iliac duct and drains into the umbilical cord. Veins arise from the umbilical veins and branch into smaller veins. They pass through the umbilical ring and then branch in the abdominal cavity.

The umbilical veins are one of the main routes for blood to enter the intestines. They provide blood supply to the abdominal organs, as well as the liver and spleen. In addition, they participate in metabolic processes between the blood of the fetus and mother, ensuring the transfer of nutrients and hormones from mother to fetus.

The importance of the veins of the umbilical tract is that they ensure adequate delivery of blood and nutrients to the abdominal organs of the fetus. Violation of their functioning can lead to various pathologies, such as malnutrition, anemia, retarded growth and development of the fetus.

However, like any other venous system, the veins of the umbilical tract can be subject to various diseases, such as thrombosis, varicose veins and other pathologies. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the veins of the umbilical tract and, if necessary, consult a doctor.

Thus, the veins of the umbilical tract are an important venous system that provides blood supply to the abdominal organs and ensures metabolic processes between the blood of the mother and the fetus. Disruption of the functioning of this system can lead to pathologies in the fetus, so it is necessary to monitor its condition and, if necessary, take measures to prevent and treat diseases.
