Q

Villi form tiny oval or round areas called cotyledons all over the external surface of the chorionic vesicle, except the undilated ends.
Cotyledons attach to specific areas, caruncles, in the lining of the uterus.
A cotyledon and caruncle attached to it combine to form the placentome.

Comple or incomplete.

A

ZONARY PLACENTA

20
Q

*Zonary placenta

has a belt of villi surrounding the entire chorionic vesicle.
-Dogs and cats.

A

Complete zonary placenta

21
Q

*Zonary placenta

has a belt of villi surrounding the entire chorionic vesicle.
- Bear, skunk, mink, weasel, ferret and raccoon.

A

Incomplete zonary placenta

22
Q

Villi are concentrated in oval-shaped disks.

Single or double.

A

DISCOID PLACENTA

23
Q

*Discoid placenta

has one disk located at one end of the chorionic vesicle
- Humans and rodents.

A

Single discoid placenta

24
Q

*Discoid placenta

has two disks, each located on each side of the chorionic vesicle.
- Monkeys.

A

Double discoid placenta

25
Q

*HISTOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF PLACENTA

The trophoblast or chorionic epithelium and uterine epithelium remain in close contact but both retain their original layer eg. marsupials ,ungulates (pig & horses) & lemur.

A

Epithelio-chorial

26
Q

*HISTOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF PLACENTA

Chorionic villi erode the uterine wall, so that the uterine epithelium is ruptured and the chorionic villi comes in contact with the connective tissue of the uterine wall eg. sheep & cow (ruminants).

A

Syndesmo-chorial

27
Q

*HISTOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF PLACENTA

Both uterine epithelium and connective tissue is
eroded so that the chorionic villi comes in contact with endothelium of maternal blood vessel eg. dogs ,cats & other carnivores.

A

Endothelio-chorial

28
Q

*HISTOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF PLACENTA

Uterine epithelium , connective tissue and
endothelium all are eroded and the chorionic villi baths in the maternal blood eg. human.

A

Haemo-chorial

29
Q

*HISTOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF PLACENTA

Foetal capillaries lie freely in maternal blood eg. Rabbit.

A

Haemo-endothelial

30
Q

uterine endometrium is sloughed off
during parturition.
- Carnivores, primates, humans,rodents.
- Ruminants: partially deciduate

A

Deciduate placenta

31
Q

uterine endometrium remains intact
during parturition.
-Horse and pig.

33
Q

*PLACENTAL HAEMOPHAGOUS ORGANS
