Question

A baby receives its nutrition in the mother’s womb through the _______.

A.

uterus

B.

hormones

C.

placenta

D.

fallopian tube

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) placenta.

  • The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy.
  • It provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby and removes waste products from the baby's blood.
  • The placenta attaches to the wall of the uterus, and the baby's umbilical cord arises from it.
  • The placenta also produces hormones that support the pregnancy, including hCG, estrogen, and progesterone.

Information Booster:

  • Uterus: Hormones regulate various processes in pregnancy, but they do not provide nutrition to the baby.

  • Hormones: The uterus is the organ where the baby develops, but it does not directly supply nutrition. The placenta within the uterus is responsible for that.

  • Fallopian Tube: The fallopian tube is where fertilization occurs, but it is not involved in providing nutrition to the baby.
