Explicació
The organ through which the embryo receives food, water, and oxygen is called the placenta. The placenta is a temporary organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy, attaching to the uterine wall and providing nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus through the umbilical cord. It also removes carbon dioxide and other waste products from the foetus.
