    Question

    Human placenta is derived from:

    A.

    Allantois

    B.

    Chorion

    C.

    Allantois and Chorion

    D.

    Amnion

    Correct option is C

    Correct Answer: (c)
    Explanation:
    The human placenta is formed from both the fetal chorion and allantois, along with uterine tissue of the mother. It establishes the connection between the mother and fetus.
    Information Booster:
    Chorion forms the fetal part of the placenta with villi that embed into uterine tissue.
    Allantois contributes to umbilical cord and blood vessels in placenta.
    The placenta facilitates exchange of gases, nutrients, and wastes.
    It also acts as an endocrine organ, secreting hCG, hPL, estrogen, and progesterone.
    Amnion only provides fluid cushioning, not placental formation.
    Additional Information:
    (a) Allantois alone cannot form the placenta.
    (b) Chorion alone contributes partially.
    (d) Amnion forms amniotic sac and fluid.
