Solution

Placenta:

  1. An organ that grows in the uterine lining is the placenta.
  2. A developing baby receives oxygen and nutrients from this structure. It also cleans the baby's blood of waste materials.
  3. The baby's brain and spinal cord grow from the placenta, which is attached to the uterus' wall during pregnancy.

Progesterone:

  1. The growth of the placenta and the placement of blastocysts in the uterus both depend on the hormone progesterone.
  2. The ovaries are where progesterone is produced.
  3. They are necessary for maintaining the uterine lining's health while pregnant.
  4. Progesterone is produced when pregnancy starts, and its levels are raised throughout the entire pregnancy.
