Question

The disc-like tissue embedded in the uterine wall which provides nutrition to the embryo within the womb is known as the placenta.

• A. Placenta
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Placenta

When the zygote gets attached to the wall of the uterus (implantation), a disc-like tissue is formed. This tissue provides all the nutrition and oxygen to the growing embryo and removes all the waste material as well. This disc-like tissue, known as placenta, is also responsible for conferring immunity to the growing embryo.
