it passes oxygen and nutrients
From the woman to the placenta and then to the fetus via the umbilical cord.
Answer2: Whatever the mother eats or drinks the baby eats or drinks. I read an article that said "a particularly tragic out come of alcohol abuse is its effect on the unborn. "Alcohol is far worse for the developing fetus than any other abused drug," reports the International Herald Tribune. When a pregnant woman drinks, her developing child also drinks, and the toxic effect of alcohol is especially devastating at the formative stage of the fetus. Alcohol carries irreversible damage to is central nervous system. Neurons do not form properly. Cells are killed off. Other cells end up located in the wrong place.
The same as an adult
amniotic fluid
Via the placenta
Through the blood system
Harmful chemicals or viruses that can be transferred from a mother to her developing fetus are called teratogens.
a developing fetus receives nourishment from the placenta, which is burrowed into the uterus
fetal alcohol syndrome
In the uterus, the placenta and cord attaches from the mother to the fetus, delivering all nutrients directly from the mother's blood stream to the fetus. If the mother is on drugs or drinks alcohol, that also passes from the mother's blood stream to her fetus.
no fetal alcohol syndrome is a disease in which a mother to be abuses alcohol which usually and most often results in various deformations of the fetus/infant.
the alcohol and cigarette smoke gets to the fetus through the mother and her blood which can affect the baby in many ways.
Baby gets food and oxygen through the umbilical cord. This umbilical cord is attached to the placenta. This placenta is attached to the uterus. In the placenta blood of the mother comes close to the blood of the fetus. There is transfer of food and oxygen to the blood of fetus from the blood of mother. Carbon bi oxide and waste products of metabolism are transferred to the blood of mother from the blood of fetus.
The structure that pushes the fetus out of the mother is called the uterus.
Yes, there is no danger to the fetus is the mother is type A and baby is type B
A fetus gets all of it's nutrition from their mother. The mother has all of the nutrients and passes them along to the fetus.
The chemicals can be absorbed by the mother and transferred to the fetus. The chemicals can have a major impact on the development of the child and cause birth defects. The full impact is not known, other than it has never been good.
