35
Q

Two arteries or two veins in the umbilical cord

A

Two arteries

36
Q

What does a vitelline fistula present with

A

37
Q

What does a patent urachus present as?

A

Urine d/c from the umbilicus

38

39
Q

What is the CAP mnemonic for remembering the order of the composition of the clefts, arches, and pouches?
