Female reproductive system:
The organs in the female body which are involved in the process of reproduction are combined to form a system called the female reproductive system.
Placenta
The placenta is defined as a mechanical and physiological connection between the developing embryo or foetus and the mother.
The outer surface of the chorion develops a number of finger-like projections, called chorionic villi which grow into the tissue of the uterus.
These villi penetrate the tissue of the uterine wall in which they are embedded, making up the placenta.
The structure formed by the villi of the embryo and the uterus of the mother is placenta.
