How does the embryo get nourishment inside the mother’s body?

The embryo develops inside the mother’s body for about nine months. Inside the uterus, the outer tissue surrounding the embryo develops finger-like projections called villi. These villi are surrounded by uterine tissue and maternal blood. They provide a large surface area for exchange of oxygen and nutrients. Also, there is a special tissue called placenta, which is embedded in the uterine wall. The embryo receives the oxygen and nutrients from the mother’s blood via the placenta. The waste materials produced by the embryo are also removed through the placenta.

The embryo grows inside the mother's womb and gets nourishment from its mother’s blood through placenta. Placenta contains villi which connects the embryo with the mother’s blood. These villi provides a large surface area for glucose and oxygen to pass from mother to the embryo.

The embryo gets nutrition form the mother’s blood with the help of a special tissue called placenta. This is a disc which is embedded in the uterine wall. It contains villi on the embryo’s side of the tissue on the mother’s side are blood spaces, which surround the villi. This provides a large surface area for glucose and oxygen to pass from the mother to the embryo. The developing embryo will also generate waste substances which can be removed by transferring them into the mother’s blood through the placenta.

Embryo get nourishment inside the mother’s body through the placenta. Placenta is a discshaped tissue embedded in the uterine wall. Placenta contains villi on the side of the embryo and blood vessels surrounding villi on the side of the mother. Oxygen and glucose pass from the mother to the embryo through the placenta. In addition, the wastes are also removed into the mother’s blood through the placenta.
