PLACENTA
- Jenil N.Nayak
>The placenta is a temporary organ.
>This is a fetomaternal organ.
>It has two components:
-Fetal part – develops from the chorionic sac
-Maternal part – derived from the endometrium(functional layer)
>The placenta and the umbilical cord are transport system for
substances between the mother and the fetus.(vessels in umbilical cord)
>Shape: Discoid
>Diameter: 15-20 cm.
>Weight: 500 gm
>Thickness: 2.5 cm at its center and gradually tapers towards the
periphery.
>Position: in the upper uterine segment (99.5%),either in the posterior
surface (2/3) or the anterior surface(1/3)
FUNCTION OF THE PLACENTA
RESPIRATORY FUNCTION
>O2 and CO2 pass across the placenta by simple diffusion.
The foetal hemoglobin has more affinity and carrying capacity than adult
hemoglobin. The rate of diffusion depends upon:
-maternal gases gradient
-maternal and foetal placental blood flow
-placental permeability
-placental surface area
NUTRITIVE FUNCTION
The transfer of nutrients from the mother to the foetus is
achieved by:
 Simple diffusion: e.g. water and electrolytes.
 Facilitated diffusion: e.g. glucose.
 Active diffusion: e.g. amino acids
 Pinocytosis: e.g. large protein molecules and cells
EXCRETORY FUNCTION
 Waste products of the foetus as urea are passed to maternal blood
by simple diffusion through placenta.
 Production of enzymes E.g. oxytocinase, monoamino oxidase,
insulinase, histaminase and heat stable alkaline phosphatase.
 Production of pregnancy associated plasma proteins(PAPP) E.g.
PAPP-A, PAPP-B, PAPP-C, PAPP-D and PP5.The exact function of
these proteins are not defined.
BARRIER FUNCTION
 The foetal blood in the chronic villi is separated from the maternal blood,
in the intervillous spaces, by the placental barrier which is composed of:
- endothelium of the foetal blood vessels,
- the villious stroma,
- the cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast.
 However, it is an incomplete barrier. It allows the passage of
antibodies(IgG only), hormone, antibiotics, sedatives, some viruses as
rubella and smallpox and some organisms as treponema pallida.
Substances of large molecular size as heparine and insulin cannot pass
the placental barrier.
ABNORMALITIES OF PLACENTA
 Abnormal Shape:
1.Placenta Bilobata
2.Placenta Bipartia
3.Placenta Succenturiata
4.Placenta Circumvallata
5.Placenta Fenestrata
Placenta Bilobata Placenta Bipartia
Placenta Succenturiata Placenta Circumvellata
Placenta fenestrata
 Abnormal Diameter:
-Placenta membrancea: A great part of the chorion
develops into placental tissue. The placenta is large, thin
and may measure 30-40 cm in diameter.
It may encroach on lower uterine segment i.e. placenta
praevia.
Placenta Membrancea
 Abnormal Weight
-The placenta increase in size and weight as in congenital
syphilis, hydrops foetalis and diabetes mellitus.
 Abnormal Position:
- Placenta Praevia: The placenta is partly or
completely attached to the lower uterine segment
Placenta Previa
 Abnormal Adhesion:
- Placenta Accreta: The chorionic villi penetrate deeply into
the uterine wall to reach the myometrium, due to deficient
decidua basalis. When the villi penetrate deeply into the
myometrium, it is called “placenta increta” and when they
reach the peritoneal coat it is called “placenta percreta”.
 Placental Tumor:
- Chorioangioma is rare benign tumor of the
placental blood vessels which may be associated
with hydraaminos.
Chorioangioma
