Hello @chrisleen !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Circulation of blood in a foetus takes place with the help of `placenta`.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Got it ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

♦ The fetus is connected by the umbilical cord to the `placenta, the organ that develops and implants in the mother's uterus during pregnancy.` ♦ Through the blood vessels in the umbilical cord, the fetus receives all the necessary nutrition, oxygen, and life support from the mother through the placenta. ♦ Waste products and carbon dioxide from the fetus are sent back through the umbilical cord and placenta to the mother's circulation to be eliminated.
