placenta

1. A membranous vascular organ that develops in female mammals during pregnancy, lining the uterine wall and partially enveloping the fetus, to which it is attached by the umbilical cord. Following birth, the placenta is expelled.

2. An organ with similar functions in some nonmammalian animals, such as certain sharks and reptiles.

3. Botany The part within the ovary of a flowering plant to which the ovules are attached.

4. The vascular organ in mammals except monotremes and marsupials that unites the fetus to the maternal uterus and mediates its metabolic exchanges through a more or less intimate association of uterine mucosal with chorionic and usually allantoic tissues.

5. An analogous organ in another animal.
