The placenta is a unique organ that develops during pregnancy, serving as the interface between the mother and the fetus. It facilitates the exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products while also providing immunological protection to the developing fetus. Additionally, the placenta produces hormones that are crucial for maintaining pregnancy and supporting fetal development. Its structure includes a network of blood vessels and tissues that adapt to the needs of the growing fetus throughout gestation.
