Chapter 20, Problem 12RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The origin of placenta.
Introduction:
Placenta is an organ that is formed during pregnancy inside the uterus and connected to the fetus by the umbilical cord. The placenta releases chorionic somatomammotropin, chorionic gonadotropin, and steroid hormones. The placenta helps in the exchange of oxygen, nutrients as well as wastes between the mother and the fetus.
