El Moudane Jihane*, Halim Hajare, Slaoui Aziz, Lakhdar Amina and Baydada Aziz
ABSTRACT
Wharton’s jelly is a type of embryonic mucoid connective tissue present in the umbilical cord, it is composed
mainly of mucopolysaccharides and water, it provides structural support and certain elasticity to the blood vessels
and structures of the umbilical cord, thus contributing to protect the umbilical vessels from possible pressure
throughout intrauterine life. Umbilical arteries lacking Wharton’s jelly are more prone to compression. A complete
absence is most often associated with fetal death.
