Summary

Placental function supports the growth and development of the fetus by providing nutrients, removing fetal waste and protecting the fetus from xenobiotics. The placenta also secretes hormones and other endocrine mediators that adapt maternal physiology to support the pregnancy. Where placental function is inadequate, fetal development may be compromised and result in persistent changes in organ structure and function that have consequences for later health.
