Sperm does not travel to the placenta; rather, it fertilizes an egg in the fallopian tube. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote travels to the uterus, where it implants itself into the uterine lining, not the placenta. The placenta develops later as the embryo grows, facilitating nutrient and waste exchange between the mother and the developing fetus.

How do placentals young develop?

The young of placental mammals develop within a placenta. The placenta is a thick membrane that is connected to the inside of the uterine wall. The umbilical cord connects the baby to the inside wall of the placenta. Nutrients and oxygen go from the mother's blood stream through the placenta, down the umbilical cord, and into the baby. The baby releases waste products and carbon dioxide, which travel up the umbilical cord, through the placenta and into the mother's blood stream.

What is the placenta barrier?

The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall. The placenta supplies the fetus with oxygen and food, and allows fetal waste to be disposed via the maternal kidneys. The placenta develops from the same sperm and egg cells that form the fetus, and functions as a fetomaternal organ with two components, the fetal part (Chorion frondosum), and the maternal part (Decidua basalis).
