Q

placenta

A

vascular organ formed in uterus during pregnancy, consisting of BOTH maternal and embryonic/fetal tissues. It provides oxygen and nutrients for fetus and transfers waste products from the fetal to the maternal blood circulation.

Q

characteristics of the cotyledonary type placenta

A

specialized areas of the endometrium (caruncles) are in contact with vascularized portions of the chorion (cotyledon). the combined structural unit of the fetal cotyledon with the maternal caruncle is called the placentome.

Q

describe the characteristics of the discoid placenta

A

the itneraction is found in one or two round areas

19
Q

6 layers separating maternal and fetal circulation - starting from most internal fetal side to most internal maternal side?

A
  1. endothelium
  2. connective tissue
  3. epithelium
    - ——————
  4. epithelium
  5. connective tissue
  6. endothelium
20
Q

which layer is missing in a 5 layered placenta?

A

the maternal epithelium

21
Q

what are the missing layers in a 4-layered placenta?

A

the maternal epithelium and maternal connective tissue

22
Q

what are the missing layers in a 3-layered placenta?

A

all maternal layers - the maternal epithelium, maternal connective tissue and maternal endothelium

23
Q

what is the term for a 3-layered placenta?

A

hemochorial

24
Q

what is the term for a 4-5 layered placenta?

A

endotheliochorial

25
Q

what is the term for a 5-6 layered placenta?

bonus Q: what is the old term for this?

A

synepitheliochorial

old term = syndesmochorial

26
Q

what is the term for a 6-layered placenta?

A

epitheliochorial

27
Q

epitheliochorial

A

is a 6 layered placenta.

But it is also used as a sort of all-encompassing description for a placenta that is either 5 or 6 layers.

28
Q

characteristics of an epitheliochorial placenta and animals that have it

A
  • the chorion is apposed to (next to/touching) the maternal epithelium. it is the least invasive of the types.
  • mare, sow, hembra (camelids)
29
Q

characteristics of a synepitheliochorial placenta and animals that have it

A
  • partial and transient erosions of the endometrium allowing for some areas of fusion. these areas are known as a syncytium.
  • they also have binucleate cells that are chorionic in origin. they fuse with the maternal epithelium and release placental lactogen
  • ruminant species - cattle, sheep
30
Q

characteristics of an endotheliochorial placenta and animals that have it

A
  • the fetal trophoblast cells invade down to the maternal vasculature endothelium. thus the trophoblast invaded through the maternal epithelium and a layer of connective tissue.
  • carnivores (dogs and cats)
31
Q

characteristics of hemochorial placenta (degree of invasion) and animals that have it

A
  • most invasive type of placenta. the fetal trophoblast invades through all 3 maternal layers and is in contact with the maternal blood.
  • it can be further classified as hemomonochorial, hemodichorial or hemotrichorial
  • primates, rodents
32
Q

Maternal tissue lost at birth: two terms and their definitions

A
  1. non-deciducate or adeciduate = non-invasive

2. deciduate = endometrial loss

33
Q

non-deciduate / adeciduate definition and animals that have it

A

complete separation of maternal and fetal tissues

  • sow, mare, hembra +/- ruminant
34
Q

Name the 4 different classifications of “degree of invasion”

A
  • epitheliochorial
  • syndesmochorial
  • endotheliochorial
  • hemochorial
35
Q

why can’t you have twins in horses?

A

a horse has a diffuse, epitheliohcorial placenta, but can’t have diffuse attachment of two embryos because there are limited points of attachment. two fetuses developing side by side end up competing for the same nutrients and eventually starve.

  • this happens in camelids too.
  • but it dosn’t happen with other animals that have diffuse placentas
36
Q

putting it all together: what type of placenta do horses have?

A

diffuse, epitheliochorial placenta

  • non-deciduate
  • microcotyledonary
37
Q

putting it all together: what type of placenta do ruminants have?

A

cotyledonary, syneptheliochorial, non-deciduate

38
Q

what shape are cow and giraffe caruncles?

A

convex

39
Q

what shape are sheep and goat caruncles?

A

concave

goats live in caves!

40
Q

membrane slip in cows

A

connective tissue that serve as points of attachment between placentomes. when you palpate the uterus, you can feel the membrane literally slip between your fingers early in pregnancy.

41
Q

putting it all together: what type of placenta do carnivores have?

A

zonary, endotheliochorial, deciduate

42
Q

Things to be aware of on maternal side of placenta in canines:

A
  1. marginal hematomas
  2. stagnant maternal blood
  3. high level of iron
  4. hemoglobin is converted to green uteroverdin at parturition
43
Q

why are some puppies born green?

A

hemoglobin is converted to green uteroverdin at parturition by oxidation.

44
Q

what type of placenta do primates and rodents have?

A

discoid, hemochordial, deciduate

45
Q

what is unique about the discoid placenta?

A

its the only placenta type that is safe for amniocentesis. if you poke through the chorion in any other placenta you can traumatize placenta and compromise foal
