b. In what way it makes intimacy with foetus?
c. Name the portions of foetal and maternal parts of placenta.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. Placenta is the physiological connection between the mother and the foetus.
b.The developing embryo gets nourishment and all other growth factors through the placenta. Similarly the wastes formed in the foetus are also eliminated through the placenta. All these make placenta more intimacy between mother and foetus.
c. Chorion is the foetal part and decidua basalis is the maternal part.
