In the three germ layers, each germ layer differentiates into a different tissue. The ectoderm differentiates into the nervous system, the lens of the eye, the membrane labyrinth of the inner ear, the skin surface, hair and nails, etc.; the mesoderm differentiates into the musculoskeletal, connective tissue, circulatory, and urinary systems. The endoderm differentiates into the epithelial tissue of the digestive system, respiratory system and related glands, bladder, lower vaginal segment and vestibule.

Other parts of the growth include the pituitary gland and muscle fibers. Babies have also grown their appendix and pancreas, which eventually secretes insulin to aid digestion. His liver is busy making red blood cells, and a section of intestine has begun to protrude into the umbilical cord, which now has clear blood vessels and is starting to carry oxygen and nutrients back and forth to the baby. The baby appears to have a small tail (actually an extension of the coccyx), however, it disappears after a few weeks.

Understanding the placenta



The placenta is a combination of embryonic and maternal tissues. It is composed of amniotic membrane, leaf-like chorion, and decidua basalis. It is an important organ for the exchange of substances between the fetus and the mother. The baby needs to eat, drink, pull, and sprinkle during the ten months of growth and development in the mother's womb. It is passed through the placenta. The basic substances needed for growth and development - proteins, fats, amino acids, water, minerals, etc., are stored in the mother's blood in small form, and when the mother's blood flows through the placenta, these substances are supplied to the fetus through the placenta . When the baby gets these substances, the metabolic waste produced by himself will also be passed to the mother through the placenta, and then the mother will excrete the waste through her own breathing and urinary system.

A mother can have a baby with a different blood type (same or different from her father), but it is dangerous to directly exchange nutrients and metabolites through blood. When two different types of blood dissolve together, it will happen Hemolysis. Therefore, there must be a "transit agent" that does not allow the mother's blood to communicate with the baby's blood, but also allows the free exchange of nutrients and metabolites. The placenta during the mother's pregnancy is this item that plays a special role.
