The correct answer is  - Umbilical vein -> carries oxygenated, nutrient rich blood from placenta to fetus - Umbilical aeries -> carries deoxygenated blood from fetus to placenta for oxygenation - Ductus venosus -> shunt that allows oxygenated blood from umbilical veins directly into inferior vena cava - Hypogastric aery -> aka internal iliac aery -> Supplies pelvic viscera
