12. Pre-natal Development “House” • Uterus / Womb • The fetus grows inside this.

13. Placenta (Latin for Cake) • Flat pancake shaped organ with amniotic sac attached to one side and the umbilical cord attached to the other. • filters nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. • At 4 months completely developed • By birth it is 1” thick, 8” diameter, 1lb • If the woman is undernourished during her pregnancy, the placenta does not transfer essential nutrients to the fetus.

14. Umbilical Cord • 20” long and reaches from fetus’ stomach to the placenta. • Carries away waste from the baby and returns the waste products back to the mother. • Brings oxygen, food, and nutrient rich blood to the embryo to keep it alive. • ▪ Thick garden-like hose that will not knot due to Whartons’ Jelly substance.

15. Amniotic Sac and Amniotic Fluid • Sac contains embryo and amniotic fluid • A clear and transparent membrane that is very strong until broken • 4 cups of amniotic fluid at birth that is replenished 9 times a day. • The fluid protects baby from bumps, bruises, and jolts • Prevents shock to the fetus, keeps a constant temperature, and keeps the fetus from adhering to the uterine wall.
