Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The umbilical cord is a flexible tube-like structure that carries blood, oxygen, and nutrients from the placenta to the developing fetus, and removes waste products from the fetal bloodstream, connecting the baby to the placenta. The amniotic sac is a fluid-filled sac that surrounds and cushions the developing fetus within the uterus. The amnion is the membrane that lines the inside of the amniotic sac. The uterine wall is the muscular wall of the uterus that supports the growth and development of the fetus during pregnancy. None of these structures specifically connects the baby to the placenta.
