left um·bil·i·cal vein

the vein that returns the blood from the placenta to the fetus; traversing the umbilical cord, it enters the fetal body at the umbilicus and then passes into the liver, where it is joined by the portal vein; its blood then flows by way of the ductus venosus and the inferior vena cava to the right atrium.
Synonym(s): vena umbilicalis [TA]

(left ŭm-bil'i-kăl vān)
Returns the blood from the placenta to the embryo; traversing the umbilical cord, it enters the embryo body at the umbilicus and then passes into the liver, where it is joined by the portal vein; its blood then flows by way of the ductus venosus and the inferior vena cava to the right atrium; the right umbilical vein disappears during the seventh week.
Synonym(s): vena umbilicalis [TA] , umbilical vein.

In the first foetal stage (30-49 days), specification of umbilical arteries and umbilical vein had occurred but they were still indistinguishable.
The umbilical vein had artery-like attributes but with a larger lumen.

The exchange occurs in this sector and then the capillaries become blood vessels, which continue them, enlarging until they form the umbilical vein. The umbilical vein is the one responsible for delivering oxygenated blood to the fetus, and it also contains nutrients and other substances that it receives from the maternal blood, whereas the blood with carbon dioxide and the waste pass through the umbilical arteries.
