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.
