Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The placenta is the organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall and allows for nutrients and oxygen to be delivered to the growing baby. The amniotic sac surrounds and protects the fetus, but does not directly contribute to the delivery of nutrients and oxygen. The fetus does not use its lungs or intestines for oxygen or nutrient exchange until after birth. The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy and serves as a connection between the mother and the developing fetus. Nutrients and oxygen pass from the mother's blood vessels in the placenta to the developing fetus's blood vessels, which then circulate throughout the fetus's body.
