When does the embryo attach to the placenta?
The embryo attaches to the placenta when it reaches the uterus very early in a pregnancy.
When does placenta attach?
The placenta attaches to the uterus 4-5 days after conception (the sperm and egg meeting). It is fully functional by 12 weeks.
What is placentas?
During pregnancy, the placenta attaches itself to the uterus to provide the developing fetus blood, oxygen, and nourishment as well as removing waste from your baby. The placenta may implant itself at a low position in the uterus, during the early stages of pregnancy. Normally, as the uterus begins to expand to provide more room for your baby, the placenta moves upward but away of the cervix. If it doesn't move away, it may be blocking the opening of the cervix. This is known as placenta previa. If this does occur, the placenta will detach itself from the uterus in advance as the cervix begins to open up for labor. Generally, placenta previa can be detected before any severe harm is caused.
What is the role of the uterus in the development of the fetus and the placenta?
The uterus is where the fetus develops and the placenta connects the uterus to the fetus.

What part of the uterus does the placenta attached to?
The placenta will be attached to the uterus, but it is not part of it. The uterus is a muscle and is part of basic female human anatomy. The placenta is an organ which is formed after conception.
Why is it important for the embryo to implant itself to the wall of the uterus?
Otherwise it can not grow into a baby. It will get no nutrients from a placenta and will be a miscarriage.
Can a human fetus really be brought to full term in a cow's uterus?
No. The human embryo would die because it cannot attach itself to the uterine wall of the cow due to the fact that the placenta of a human is much different from the placenta of a cow, and that a human and a cow are genetically very different from each other.
Where does a fertillized egg attach?
The fertilized egg will attach itself to the inner lining of the uterus, the endometrium, in most cases. In some instances, it may implant itself into the Fallopian tube, which results in an ectopic pregnancy that can be fatal to the mother and fetus.
Which side is your placenta located?
The placenta can be located anywhere in the uterus.
Why would a placenta not separate entirely?
sometimes a placenta can have abnormal growth and attachment to the uterus (the growth can penetrate deeply into the muscle of the uterus) and this can cause the placenta to stay attached. This is not the norm. Usually a placenta is superficially attached to the muscle of the uterus and easily detaches after a baby is born
What causes umbilical cord to attach on side of placenta?
The umbilical cord connects to the Placenta once it is in form to attach
