How does an embryo get oxygen and nutrients from its mom?
A mammalian embryo gets oxygen and nutrients from it mother by means of the umbilical cord which extends the embryonic blood supply into the placenta embedded in the mothers womb. The blood supply in the placenta is close to that of the mother and oxygen and nutrients diffuse across from the mother to the baby. With egg laying animals the nutrients are supply to the embryo as the yolk part of the egg and oxygen is supplied by diffusion through the permeable shell and shell membrane
What provides food and oxygen for a developing embryo?
The Placenta uses a the process of diffusion to diffuse the nutrients from the mothers blood into the babies. Then the umbilical cord carries the nutrients to the baby to the Placenta. Answer is Placenta
What is transported to body cells by the blood?
Oxygen and nutrients.
The developing embryo receives nutrients and oxygen from the mother's?
blood
How do birds develop without a placenta that links them to its mothers blood supply?
Instead of getting oxygen and nutrients directly from a mother, the bird egg contains these elements in the materials found around the bird embryo. Reptiles and amphibians have similar processes for supplying the embryo.
Transports oxygen directly to the embryo?
Through the placenta, via the umbilical cord.
Oxygen and nutrients are directly available to a human embryo through the?
Umbilical cord!!
Where is oxygen and nutrients directly available to a human embryo?
umblical cord
Why would an embryo be more susceptible than a fetus to damage by toxins?
The embryo is connected to the umbilical cord to the mother. The baby feeds on what its mother eats. Absorbs the nutrients and oxygen it needs. Drugs and other harmful substances will affect the embryo's development and it could possibly cause low birth weight, early birth. Also it will cause the embryo now a fetus have problems receiving oxygen and nutrients from its mother.
Oxygen and nutrients are transported around an animal's body by the system?
food
If the placenta were to detach from the mothers uterus early would the embryo stop receiving food and oxygen?
True
What is the organ the develops between the embryo and the uterus during pregnancy and filters the nutrients and oxygen?
The Placenta.
