Which specific blood vessels carry deoxygenated and waste away from the developing baby?

A newborn was delivered through normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD). After the umbilical cord was cut, the number of arteries and vein was checked. You are aware that umbilical vein carries O oxygen and nutrients from the fetus to the placenta O oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus O metabolic wastes and carbon dioxide from the fetus to the placenta O blood from the navel into the inferior vena cava O metabolic wastes and carbon dioxide from the placenta to the fetus 5 7 8 9. 10 11 12 13 14

a) If fetal glucose consumption declines, how does the glucose concentration gradient between fetal circulation and the intervillous space change?  b) When fetal glucose consumption declines, how is the concentration gradient between parental circulation and the intervillous space impacted?  c) When fetal glucose consumption declines, placental tissue adjusts its consumption of glucose to maintain a constant concentration gradient between the fetal circulation and the intervillous space. In order to maintain this gradient, would you expect placental tissue to increase or decrease its glucose consumption, and why is this the case?
