Answers
Difference between an Oocyte and an Embryo. Oocyte is the medical name for a woman's egg that has not been fertilized. While it is immature, the oocyte remains in a woman's ovaries. ... If the oocyte is fertilized, it is now considered to be an embryo.
Placenta is attached to the uterine wall, whereas two ends of umbilical cord are attached to placenta and navel of foetus. ... Placenta is the place where nutrients and wastes are exchanged between mother and foetus, whereas umbilical cord serves as the link between foetus and placenta.
The gamete, produced by the female is called the egg or ovum.
So, ovum and egg mean the same!
The placenta is attached to the fetus through the umbilical cord, the lifeline between mother and baby. It contains one vein, carrying oxygenated blood from the placenta to the baby, and two arteries, bringing deoxygenated blood from the baby to the placenta.
I hope it helped!
