A stylized anatomical illustration shows a discoid organ with surface branching fetal vessels converging into a coiled umbilical cord (UC, umbilical cord). Within the reproductive system hierarchy, it is an extraembryonic organ attached to the uterine wall during gestation that constitutes the fetomaternal exchange interface. In obstetrics, anatomy, and physiology, it mediates gas and nutrient transfer, removes fetal waste, and acts as an endocrine gland producing progesterone and placental lactogen (PL).
