The placenta results from the combination of embryonic and maternal tissue. The fetal portion of the placenta develops from the outer layer of the blastocyst, while the maternal portion is derived from the lining of the uterus. Together, these tissues form a vital connection between the developing fetus and the mother to facilitate nutrient exchange and waste removal.
endoderm
The part of the uterus that becomes the maternal portion of the placenta is the decidua basalis. This area is located in the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, and it thickens in preparation for implantation of the embryo. The decidua basalis interacts with the trophoblast cells of the developing placenta to facilitate nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and the fetus.

the portion of an embryonic somite from which skeletal musculature is produced
The chorion.
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.
The abnormal implantation of the placenta in the lower portion of the uterus is known as placenta previa. This condition can lead to complications during pregnancy and delivery, as the placenta may obstruct the birth canal. It is typically classified into different types based on how much the placenta covers the cervix. Management often involves monitoring and, in some cases, cesarean delivery if the placenta remains low-lying close to the due date.
The brain and spinal cord. The cephalic portion of the nueral tube becomes the brain, the caudal portion becomes the spinal cord.
its when the portion of the umbilical cord that connects to the placenta has no protection at all and it is exposed and vulnerable to ruptures. look for vasa previa
The portion of the sternum that is made of cartilage in children is the xiphoid process. This cartilaginous portion eventually ossifies and becomes bone in adulthood.
