The region of contact between the fetus and the uterus is known as the placenta. The placenta forms from both maternal and fetal tissues and serves as a crucial interface for nutrient and gas exchange, waste elimination, and the production of hormones. It anchors the fetus to the uterine wall and provides a protective environment during gestation. The placenta also plays a vital role in immunological protection for the developing fetus.
