These cells provide nutrition and support for the embryo., umbilical cord - a flexible cordlike structure containing blood vessels attaching the fetus to the placenta during gestation., yolk sac - a specialized structure that leads to the digestive tract of a developing organism and provides it with food during early development, Zygote - the fertilized egg; it enters a 2-week period of rapid cell division and develops into an embryo,
