b.Explanation
- The Foetus and embryo develop within the uterus, an organ that sits within the pelvis of the mother. The process the mother experiences whilst carrying the Foetus or embryo is referred to as pregnancy.
- The placenta connects the developing Foetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake, thermo-regulation, waste elimination, and gas exchange via the mother՚s blood supply; to fight against internal infection; and to produce hormones, which support pregnancy.
- The placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to growing fetuses and removes waste products from the fetus՚s blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of the uterus, and the fetus՚s umbilical cord develops from the placenta.
