The placenta connects a developing fetus to the wall of the uterus, which allows gas exchange, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination
placenta
The chorion develops into the fetal portion of the placenta. It plays a crucial role in nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and the fetus during pregnancy.
One of them is to pass on essential nutrients from the mother to the baby. Nutrient supply. Waste elimination. (The third function is gas exchange.)

The placenta
The umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta for nutrient and oxygen exchange.
Placenta is the organ that is made from both tissue of the embryo and the mother. It forms during pregnancy for nutrient and waste exchange between the mother and fetus.
The capillaries are responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells. These tiny blood vessels have thin walls that allow for the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
For nine months the placenta feeds and nourishes the fetus while also disposing of toxic waste.
The blood goes from the mother to the placenta where gas exchange occurs to the fetus. From the placenta the blood goes into the arterium and to the body of the fetus.
The placenta is responsible for nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and child. This transfer is vital in enabling nutrition be transported from the mother through the placenta to the fetus and expelling waste produced by the fetus back through the placenta and into the maternal blood stream, which is then released by the mother.
