YOGYAKARTA A network that connects embryos with the uterine wall (uterine wall) is called a placenta. This tissue forms in the uterus and only works during pregnancy. After the fetus is born, the placenta will be released from the uterine wall and removed from the mother's body.
During pregnancy, the placenta functions to distribute nutrients and oxygen to the fetus through the umbilical cord, as well as remove the rest of the metabolism from the fetus. To better understand it, see the explanation below.
The above has been explained that the tissue connecting embryos to the main walls is called the placenta.
Quoted from the Cleveland Clinic page, the placenta is a temporary organ that connects embryos with the uterine wall (upstream).
Please note, embryos are the early stages of development after sperm fertilization of eggs, which lasts from the first week to the eighth week of pregnancy. After that, embryos will develop into fetuses.
The placenta itself began to form after the fertilized egg was attached to the uterus, about seven to ten days after conception. Once this tissue is formed, the fetus will immediately connect to the placenta through the umbilical cord.
Over time, the placenta continued to grow throughout pregnancy to support fetal development. The placenta, which initially consisted of only a few cells, will develop into a few inches of organs.
Still from the same source, here are the functions of the tissue that connects embryos with the main walls:
Furthermore, placentas play an important role in keeping babies alive and healthy during pregnancy. Mother's blood flows through the placenta and distributes oxygen, glucose, and nutrition to babies through the umbilical cord.
The placenta also functions to screen harmful waste and carbon dioxide from the baby's blood. This organ allows the exchange of oxygen and nutrients between the blood flow of the mother and baby without mixing them. In other words, the placenta acts like the lungs, kidneys, and liver for the baby until the birth.
Ahead of the delivery time, the placenta distributes antibodies from mother to baby to help build her immune system. This immunity will last during the first few months of baby life.
In addition, placentas also produce various important hormones during pregnancy, such as lactogenic, estrogen, and progesteron. These hormones are beneficial for mothers and babies. For example, placentas produce hormones that suppress the production of breast milk during pregnancy.
