Generally the embryo develops inside the mothers body in the uterus. In the uterus the outside layer of the embryo forms a finger like projections called villi. This villi is surrounded by the mothers blood and the uterine tissues. This villi provides a large surface area for the exchange of oxygen and nutrients from the mothers blood and its surroundings. Placenta which is embedded in the uterine walls is a specialized tissue. The embryo receives all the nutrients and oxygen from the mothers blood through the placenta. The waste material that is produced by the embryo is also taken away by the placenta.
