Document Summary

Aquatic fertilisation (eggs placed in water- fish, amphibia) is a primitive method of fertilisation. Gases are exchanged from and to water across a membrane. Because of the high mortality rate, there are a lot of eggs. The placenta facilitates physiological exchange (nutrients, gases, and excretory products, for example). Hormone production is a process that involves the production of hormones. During pregnancy, the placenta and membranes protect the embryo/foetus and provide for: All formed zygote amnion, chorion, allantois and yolk sac. The foetal chorion and maternal endometrium combine to produce the placenta. After the foetus is born, the umbilical cord, placenta, amnion, and chorion are ejected as "afterbirth. " The inner cell mass (embryoblast) is responsible for the formation of the embryo. The outer cell mass (trophoblast) is a component of the placenta. The walls of maternal capillaries are eroded by syncytiotrophoblast cells.
