Solution

Several hormones like HCG, HPL estrogen, and progesterone are produced by Placenta.

Explanation:

The placenta produces several hormones including HCG, HPL, estrogen, and progesterone. The placenta connects the developing embryo (foetus) to the maternal body structurally and functionally. It is attached to the embryo by an umbilical cord. This aids in the transportation of materials to and from the embryo. The placenta also functions as an endocrine fissure 6.1, producing the hormones listed above.
