Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The placenta is the organ that connects the mother's uterus to the developing fetus via the umbilical cord. It provides nutrients and oxygen to the fetus and removes waste products. The amniotic sac contains the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus and protects it from external forces. Ectoderm and endoderm are germ layers during early embryonic development that give rise to various tissues and organs in the body but are not directly involved in the functioning of the placenta.
