Growth of a baby inside the uterus
Placenta = tissue with blood vessels of the baby and the mother (works as a filter).
Umbilical vein (navelstrengader) = carries nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the embryo.
Umbilical arteries (navelstrengslagaders) carry waste products from the baby to the mother.
Alcohol, drugs, rubella virus and nicotine can pass the placenta
