What is Functions and Structure of the Placenta about?
The placenta develops from both fetal and maternal tissues and is fully formed by 12 weeks of gestation. It connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall, allowing for nutrient, waste, and gas exchange between the mother and fetus. The placenta also produces important hormones that support pregnancy and has roles in barrier function, thermoregulation, and immunity. Placental abnormalities can negatively impact fetal development and health.
