What happens to the placenta after birth?

Some cultures, such as the Native American Navajo people, bury it

A small number of people dry it out and convert it into pills to treat various ailments

Some people choose to store blood from the umbilical cord in order to harvest stem cells in case of immunological illness

Some cultures, such as the ancient Egyptians, viewed the placenta as sacred and built special tombs for royal placentas

The stump of the cut cord will dry up and fall out of the navel 5–15 days after birth
