Discuss the importance of the umbilical cord and placenta in human beings.

The placenta is a complex, circular tissue-like organ that forms the connection between the uterus wall and an embryo after the implantation.

In a pregnant female, the umbilical cord joins the embryo to the placenta.

Placenta's main function is to exchange nutrients, oxygen, and waste product between an embryo and mother.
