The nutrients are absorbed through the placenta by the foetus. The foetus gets the oxygen and nutrition from the mother. The blood of the mother and foetus comes very close to each other in the placenta. Both are not mixed up. They are separated by very thin membrane. The surface area of the contact is very large as compared to the size of placenta.
