The development of the ductus venosus soonforms a channel for most of the blood carried by the um-bilical vein. The pro.\inial portion of the inferior venacava is developed as a new structure. The distal end ofthis unites with the right inferior cardinal iu the regionwhere the renal arteries arise; and the caudal continu-ation of the cardinal from this point of imion becomesthe inferior portion of the vena cava.
