    Glossary Placenta

    organ in the uterus that nourishes the developing fetus

    The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. It provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus while removing waste products from the fetus's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of the uterus, and the baby's umbilical cord arises from it. This organ plays a crucial role in maintaining the pregnancy and supporting fetal development.
