In addition, the placenta also produces hormones such as progesterone and estrogen that suppress the ovaries and other hormones that prepare the breasts to produce milk. One of these hormones, hCG, is the hormone that a home pregnancy test detects. The placenta also has mechanisms to prevent the immune system from attacking either the fetus or the placenta itself. The placenta is normally ejected from the uterus after the pregnant woman gives birth.

  • The placenta was an organ that connected the developing fetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake via the mother's blood supply. In 2370, the natural defense mechanisms in Spot's placenta protected her unborn kittens from the virus that had afflicted the USS Enterprise-D crew. (TNG: "Genesis" ) In 2372, Ekoria's placenta absorbed an antigen Julian Bashir had administered as a possible cure to the Teplan blight, and thus protected her child from the illness.
