Expert

Verified

The placenta besides being the organ through which the swap of substances between mother and fetus is done also has the role of liberation of progesterone and estrogen in order to maintain the high level of these hormones during the pregnancy. (The placenta still liberates other hormones such as human placental lactogen, which act in the same way to the hypophyseal hormones which control reproduction, and HCG, human chorionic gonadotropin.)
