Hi i only heard about this last week on a radio science program, but also heard that they were experimenting with doing it with humans.
basically the faeces are believe to contain many beneficial bacteria etc that will strengthen the off-springs immune system. Monkeys are said to do this a lot.
What else can I help you with?
What specific substances can be exchanged between the mother and fetus via the placenta?
Oxygen, nutrients (such as glucose and amino acids), antibodies, hormones, and waste products (such as carbon dioxide and urea) can be exchanged between the mother and fetus through the placenta. These substances allow for the fetus to receive essential supplies for growth and development while also enabling waste removal.
How nutrients oxygen and waste are exchanged between the fetus and the mother?
Nutrients, oxygen, and waste are exchanged between the fetus and the mother through the placenta, a temporary organ that develops during pregnancy. The mother's blood containing nutrients and oxygen passes through the placenta, where it comes into close contact with the fetal blood vessels. Through diffusion and active transport processes, nutrients and oxygen are transferred from the mother's blood to the fetal blood, while waste products such as carbon dioxide are transferred from the fetal blood to the mother's blood for elimination.
What is exchanged through the placenta?
Nutrients and Waste
What is the structure which exchanges substances between mother and fetus?
The placenta is the organ that serves as the primary interface for nutrient and waste exchange between a mother and fetus during pregnancy. It allows for the transfer of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the mother's bloodstream and the developing fetus.
What substance is exchanged in the placenta?
In the placenta, oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood are exchanged for carbon dioxide and waste products from the fetal blood. This process occurs through the placental membranes, allowing for efficient transfer without direct blood mixing. The placenta acts as a vital interface, supporting fetal development by ensuring that the fetus receives the necessary substances for growth while eliminating waste.
How does the fetus excrete metabolic waste?
Through the umbilical cord and placenta
What are exchanged between the body cells and the blood plasma?
Oxygen, nutrients, waste products, hormones, and electrolytes are exchanged between the body cells and the blood plasma. This exchange occurs through the capillaries that connect the circulatory system with the cells in the tissues. Oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the cells, while waste products and carbon dioxide are removed from the cells and transported back to the excretory organs for elimination.
Where does the exchange of oxygenfood nutrients and waste materials take place?
You don't specify which organism you are asking about, but I assume you mean in humans. These processes happen all over the body between the blood capillaries and the cells. If you mean exchange with the outside world, then oxygen is exchanged in the lungs, food nutrients in the small intestine, and nitrogenous waste in the kidneys. However, waste carbon dioxide is exchanged through the lungs and other wastes through the skin.
What forms the lifeline between the mother and the fetus?
The placenta is the organ that connects mother to fetus. It lets nutrients in to nourish the growing fetus and lets waste product out to be discarded by the mother with out ever mixing the blood between the two.
What form the lifeline between the mother and the fetus?

What exchanges between the a mother and baby during pregnancy?
Oxygen and nutrition goes to baby from mother. Carbon bi oxide and waste products of metabolism goes to mother from baby.
What is the organ formed by the mother's body to nourish the baby and excrete waste products?
The placenta is the organ formed by the mother's body during pregnancy to nourish the baby with oxygen and nutrients from the mother's bloodstream and to remove waste products from the baby's blood. It serves as a connection between the mother and the developing fetus.
