The umbilical cord connects a baby in the womb to its mother. It runs from an opening in your babyâs stomach to the placenta in the womb. The average cord is about 50cm (20 inches) long. What does the umbilical cord do? The umbilical cord carries oxygen and nutrients from the placenta into your babyâs bloodstream. The umbilical cord is made up of: one vein that carries blood rich in oxygen and nutrients from you to your baby two arteries that return deoxygenated blood and waste products, such as carbon dioxide, from your baby back to the placenta
In mathematics, a hyperbola (plural hyperbolas or hyperbolae) is a type of smooth curve, lying in a plane, defined by its geometric properties or by equations for which it is the solution set. hyperbola may be defined equivalently as the locus of points where the absolute value of the difference of the distances to the two foci is a constant equal to 2 a, the distance between its two vertices.
Hyperkyphosis is a spinal deformity causing a forward-curved posture of the upper back or thoracic spine. Your posture is the characteristic way you position your body; normal posture changes many times throughout the day.Sometimes, however, a person's body curvature can become excessive and unchanging.yperkyphosis can result from conditions such as osteoporosis or thinning bones, and fractures of the vertebrae that result from thin bones. However, research has found that two thirds of people with hyperkyphosis do not have spinal fractures.
