What is placenta?
The placenta is an organ with the role of protecting and nurturing the baby in a mother’s womb.Naturally, it serves as an interface for the supply of oxygen and nutrients from the mother to the baby, but in order for the baby to grow healthily within the womb, the placenta works in a truly range of ways, including digestion and excretion in place of the internal organs of the still developing baby, the secretion of hormones, and the provision of an immune system to make it difficult for the baby to contract illnesses.
