Foetus

The role of the placenta is to nourish the foetus.

In the foetus, prior to the descent of the testicle, the cremaster muscle does not exist.

Amongst professional men, who have examined this singular foetus, a variety of opinions and conjectures have been formed, some of which it maybe well to notice.

During the last 10 weeks in utero the foetus stores very considerable amounts of energy in the form of fat.

The foetus gains all its food and oxygen from the mother during pregnancy.

But there were clues in their reproduction: all afrotherians have unusual placentas and produce more foetuses than can be nurtured in the womb.

After 20 weeks, two medical doctors from a ministerially appointed panel of at least six must agree the pregnant woman or foetus has a severe medical condition.
