The reproductive system of the female, particularly the placenta which is attached to the uterine wall (the uterus). Maternal blood vessels are "coiled up" next to placental blood vessels and nutrients and oxygen, as well as waste products from the developing fetus, pass the walls of both sets of vessels through a process known as osmosis. Their is probably some active diffusion as well, if I remember correctly, to aid in the transfer of larger molecules. Blood does not typically exchange in large quantities between the mother and baby in a healthy pregnancy, though their may be some incidental exchange, particularly during birth.
The nutrients and oxygen exchanged and given to the infant then travel through the umbilical cord to the developing child.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call a baby inside it's mother's womb?
A baby inside the womb is called a fetus.
How does a fetus nourished inside the mother's womb?
A fetus is nourished inside the mother's womb through the placenta, which connects the fetus to the mother's circulatory system. The mother's blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the fetus while removing waste products. This process allows the fetus to grow and develop until it is ready to be born.
What are the functions of the womb?
The womb is where the baby/fetus is able to grow inside the female. The fetus can then collect nutrients from the mother via the umbilical cord, which connects the fetus with the endometrial lining.
How does a fetus get nourishment up until the time it is born?
The fetus inside of a mother's womb receives nourishment via the umbilical cord from the food the mother ingests.
What is the Function of the umbilical arteries of pig?
It carries carbon dioxide and waste-laden blood from the fetus to the mother through the placenta.
Where the fetus developed?
mother's womb
What is the gestation for a human baby?
Gestation is the 9 months when a human baby is developing from a fetus to a baby inside a mother's womb.
Where does a placental mammal develop?
The fetus develops in the womb of the mother.
Can the sperm cell cause harm to the fetus inside the womb?
No
Can a women get pregnant with out womb?
Yes, but it is not very likely. There are rare cases where the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tubes. This is called an ectopic pregnancy. The embryo will not very likely survive.
Fetus is protected by what?
The amniotic sac and amniotic fluid inside the womb.
Does a child in the womb breathe?
No; the fetus gets its oxygen from the mother, via the umbilical cord.
