Exchange of gases, nutrients, and wastes between maternal and fetal blood takes place between the decidua basalis and fetus, amnion and chorion, stratum basalis and decidua basalis, myometrium and chorion, and decidua basalis and chorionic villi.

Pick the TRUE statement below. Fetal blood vessels are found only in the umbilical cord. Maternal blood can cross directly into the syncytiotrophoblast cells. Chorionic villi are in lacunae that maternal blood circulates through. Chorionic villi contain capillaries that are directly connected to the maternal blood vessels.
The structural and functional unit between the foetus and maternal blood is known as (a) Inner cell (b) Placenta (c) Trophoblast (d) Chorionic villi
