18. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
The placenta facilitates the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the embryo.
Help in the removal of carbon dioxide and excretory/waste materials produced by the
embryo. The placenta is connected to the embryo through an umbilical cord which help
in the transports of substances to and from the embryo. Placenta also acts as an endocrine
tissue and produces several hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG),
human placental lactogen (hPL), estrogens, progestogen etc. A hormone called
relaxin is secreted by the ovary in the later phase of pregnancy.
hCG, hPL and relaxin are produced in women only during pregnancy. Level of other
hormones like estrogens,progestogens, cortisol, prolactin, thyroxine, etc, are
