Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The placenta is an organ that forms during pregnancy and is central to the exchange of nutrients for waste products between the mother and fetus. It is attached to the uterine wall and connected to the fetus by the umbilical cord. The uterus provides the environment for the developing fetus and the amniotic sac surrounds and protects the fetus, but they do not play a direct role in nutrient exchange. The vagina is the birth canal and not directly involved in fetal development.
